You had better triple check your facts....
Every thing I said is born out by your own links.
The 707 is smaller and lighter than the 767.
The design was expecting a 707 at 180 mph.
Not a larger plane traveling at 500 mph.

Planes hit towers
Structural damage (the amount neither side can know) something the ae 911 side always forget
Fires cause THERMAL LOADING on structure not fully taken into account during design again ae 911 forget about that.
Walls buckle images/video have been shown on here before.
Due to floor design floors can fall internally that's how part of the core structure (the spire) was seen
Huge dynamic load of falling structure destroyed the Towers.
South Tower hit second falls first GREATER load above impact point.
NO DEMO REQUIRED.

Oh I wish I was a BILLIONAIRE because I would issue a challenge to the following groups
Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Pilots for 9/11 Truth, Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, Veterans for 9/11 Truth, Medical Professionals for 9/11 Truth, and Lawyers for 9/11 Truth members on here and also members of Joe public that think like them.
What would the challenge be SIMPLE
I would pay for the building of an EXACT REPLICA of one of the twin towers using the same materials as the original, during construction the members of those groups could monitor the whole process 24 -7 till completion, then when complete the challenge would be issued.
They would be invited to enter the building and go to a least the 10 floor (Don't want them jumping out to save themselves) they would then be locked at that floor or above depending how many have the gnads to risk their necks while a remote controlled 767 again inspected by them and their relatives would be flown into the EXACT floor level and position of impact of the North or South Tower.
Now according to AE9/11 Truth everyone would have nothing to worry about ,if a collapse occurred the upper levels would be be stopped according to them.
Meanwhile people like me on the outside could have a good old laugh at the shear TERROR on their faces as they realise they are doomed as they start to hear the impacts of floor after floor heading for them.
Now if they are right and they survive I would also like to worth their while.
I wonder how many WOULD risk there life on their belief that 9/11 was a demolition
NOT MANY I BET.

Keep saving those pennies and I'll be the first in line. Is it Okay if I bring a pizza, beverages and a sleeping bag ?
Yes ,I am that confident ! However, when I waltz out the next day ( Yup I'll be spending the entire night ) I'd like the opportunity to kick you in the groin.
I mean ya gotta have some skin in the game, right Amigo ? Perhaps just pay for my Pizza.

NIST claimed to know. That is how they came up with their model...

You'd never be able to make an exact copy, so your experiment would be invalid.
People from all sides of this argument forget that this was a dynamic working building, had been for a long time, had been maintained, loads moved around inside it, work done on sections of it, had experienced general wear and tear and the relevant fatigues caused by those things, and was constructed in a modular fashion, with welds/bolts/rivets that might all of been in tolerance but were all different.
Both the towers were unique structures.
The key word there is unique.

When a building is designed by the best architects in the world to withstand a Boeing 707 to crash into it, an airplane that has a more destructive force than the airplanes that actually crashed into the buildings on 9/11. And the chief structural engineer says he's confident that the buildings could withstand MULTIPLE crashes. Then yes, they definetely would risk there lives on science.
yes building could resist the impacts - which they did . Unfortunately nobody accounted for fires and destruction of the building systems ie. elevators and sprinklers/standpipes and effect if would have on building
Without elevators the FDNY was forced to walk carrying to 100 lbs of equipment with them up the stairs. Stairs were
designed for earlier era where building were smaller. Outer stairs only 44 inches wide, barely enough for 2 people to pass
Inner stair was slightly wider at 56 inches. FDNY rule of thumb was 1 floor per minute - reaching the impact floors
would take over 90 minutes and crews would be exhausted from climb
Impacts cut the sprinklers to the impact floors preventing them from controlling fires
Impacts also dislodged fire proofing from steel exposing it to heat from fires . Fireproofing was in some cases was only 1/2
inch to 1 1/2 inches - had a disturbing tendency to flake off Earlier fire proofing was solid masonry (like in Empire State
Building) was 4 -6 inches thick of solid concrete or brickwork.
All this together meant no way to control fires which spread an attacked steel supports.........

All of this is just pure bull# from start to finish...Fire and rescue personnel would not even go into a building if the opinion on site was even remotely close to the building was in risk of collapse...

and two links, which shows that the 707 had a 10% more destructive force.
Yet you post THAT as a reply??

So you would be in, in a heartbeat that would be your last as you hear the sound
of floors collapsing towards you. As you can see from this picture BELOW the lower coulmn trees
intact yet the steel angle cleats have be removed more proof of the floors collapsing
inside the Towers.
Low level Column Trees

What I said is true NEITHER side can ever know the EXACT damage done by the impact
or the fires they can only make assumptions.
No the were bowing inwards
Walls
Walls Again
The mass falling internally sheared/bent the truss seats & bolts many pictures have been shown on here
LONG before you arrived on the scene
Of COURSE there was HUGE dynamic loads here is a calculator give it a try I bet YOU don't
Impact Force 1
height 3.6 mtrs distance between floors
Velocity gravity so 9.81 m/s sq
mass of floorslab at least 750,000 kg just the concrete.
Once you have done that click blue text
Impact Force 2
Now distance travelled after imapct is the difficult part because as the picture above show truss seats gave way BECAUSE of the massive load.
