Actually not. Check it out.
The OS side has already proved how the buildings came down.
The world has produced thousands of new engineers since 911.
You don't hear them complaining about the science.
Only a handful of web warriors with no degree go on about it.
Civil & Structural Engineers on WTC Collapse
The heat from an ordinary office fire would suffice to soften and weaken the unprotected steel. Evaluation of the effects of the fire on the core column structure, with the insulation removed by the impact, showed that collapse would follow whatever the number of columns cut at the time of the impact."
Why the World Trade Center Buildings Collapsed: A Fire Chief ’s Assessment
The jet collapsed the ceilings and scraped most of the spray-on fire retarding asbestos from the steel trusses. The steel truss floor supports probably started to fail quickly from the flames and the center steel supporting columns severed by plane parts heated by the flames began to buckle, sag, warp and fail. Then the top part of the tower crashed down on the lower portion of the structure.
This pancake collapse triggered the entire cascading collapse of the 110-story structure.
I suppose you believe thousands of tons of steel, being blasted upward and outward from the WTC is a normal free fall to a natural collapse?
It all there that the sound they heard were floors collapsing upon one another. We can also go here.
Scientist were able to prove using science that the floors did not pancake that was disinformation put out by propaganda media years ago and has now been debunked by very credible science.
There was no WTC steel that was blasted anywhere by explosives.
It is no secret that the floors pancaked, which firefighters have stated they heard.
Yes and many of firefighters heard explosions, and some firefighters were in some of the explosions, however today No firefighter supports the pancake conspiracy theories.
Those squibs are not evidence of explosives. That is compressed air and nothing to do with explosives. Check it out.
Aluminum and the World Trade Center Disaster
Aluminum was present in two significant forms at the World Trade Center on 9-11:
(i) By far the largest source of aluminum at the WTC was the exterior cladding on WTC 1 & 2. In quantitative terms it may be estimated that 2,000,000 kg of anodized 0.09 aluminum sheet was used, in the form of 43,600 panels, to
cover the faÄade of each Twin Tower.
(i) The other major source of aluminum at the WTC was the aluminum alloy airframes of the Boeing 767 aircraft that crashed into the Twin Towers on the morning of 9-11. It may be estimated that, on impact, these aircraft weighed
about 124,000 kg including fuel; of this weight, 46,000 kg comprised the fuselage and 21,000 kg made up the mass of the wings – all of which were fabricated from aluminum alloys. Modern airframes are invariably constructed from series 2000 aluminum alloys. Alloy 2024 is a typical example containing 93 % Al, 4.5 % Cu, 1.5 % Mg, and 0.5 % each of Mn and Fe.
These metallic additions to aluminum lower the melting point of the alloy from a value of 660 C, for pure aluminum, to about 548 C for alloy 2024. This relatively low temperature indicates that the fires within the Twin Towers were quite capable of melting at least some of the Boeing 767 aluminum airframe structures remaining in the WTC before its collapse.

Those panels you see in the video are the light-weight exterior aluminum panels of the WTC Tower. Check it out.

Someones "opinions" are not facts.
Well, I can personally state that the WTC Towers were covered by aluminum panels because I have visited the buildings on multiple occasions.
There were aluminum panels lying everywhere at ground zero.
Well I can personally state that I worked in the WTC back in the 1980's and yes there was aluminum panels lying at ground zero, however there was no aluminum panels stuck inside of other buildings hundreds of feet away, ONLY steel, a few thousand tons of steel.
So if the WTC just pancake, please explain how did thousands of tons of steel landed in other building hundreds of feet away?
Once again, that was the result of collisions, which was demonstrated by a pencil striking a chair, not from explosives. Photos of bombed buildings have depicted steel frames of those buildings still standing despite the explosions.
This video demonstrates what I mean when I say that blast waves from bombs simply flow around a steel structure if not firmly attached. You will notice the steel structures in the following video withstood the blast effects of a nuclear detonation that demolished the wood frame buildings. Notice that the nuclear blast failed to throw the steel structures anywhere.
Once again I see no sources for this video?
It is an official government video.
