Too many people get caught up in the "educated guess" made by NIST about the precise sequence of the collapse.
NIST stated their was very little chance the building could collapse the way they described. It was a steel frame building. If it was damaged it would topple over.
Steel Versus Steel-Reinforced Concrete In fact, comparisons between the Windsor tower and the WTC Towers are limited because of the very different structures of these buildings. The Twin Towers and Building 7 were both 100% steel-framed, with large wide-flange columns and box columns, some measuring over four feet wide and fabricated of steel up to five inches thick. Severe fires in other skyscrapers which, like the WTC Towers, were 100% steel-framed, have not produced even partial collapses.

My ex worked in demolition. It never made sense that 3 buildings would fall into their own footprint so well.
Setting up tall buildings to come down neatly takes a lot of planning.
Yes. That's always been the OS deal-breaker for me.

I told you not to disgust me with your responses if you have nothing. All the steel of the partial collapse Madrid Windsor building was still intact. With a crane on top.

Other than we have photographic evidence of it falling like a tree, and NOT being "ejected" by any other means other than gravity and potential energy being converted to kinetic energy.
