You are so biased to the point beyond being rational.
That's what a healthy dose of cynicism for the federal government does to a person.

Hey, let's talk about the truth movement and....
Thermite, paint chips, and bogus peer review papers?
Nuke bombs with no signature fission products or bangs?
Impossible silent CD implosion with no shrapnel or fragmenting columns?
Lasers and holograms?
Drones?
Dustification?
Richard Gage and fizzle no flash demolitions.
Termite painted ceiling tiles?
Wonder why the public sees the truth movement as a desperate faction blinded to reason in its search for any smoking gun?

The reason for the Titanic comment was that it shows you cannot trust engineers with all their claims. As for Mr. Robertson, he has no problems accepting that the damage/fire killed the Towers.
DeMartini, was seeing signs of at least a local collapse. Conduct a senace ask him how he feels about that interview now.
The Core Structure Of The World Trade Center Twin Towers Was A Steel Reinforced, Cast Concrete, Tubular Core
Still, Robertson, whose firm is responsible for three of the six tallest buildings in the world, feels a sense of pride that the massive towers, supported by a steel-tube exoskeleton and a reinforced concrete core, held up as well as they did—managing to stand for over an hour despite direct hits from two massive commercial jetliners. Says engineer Robertson, “If they had fallen down immediately, the death counts would have been unimaginable,” he says. “The World Trade Center has performed admirably, and everyone involved in the project should be proud.” The buildings were designed specifically to withstand the impact of a Boeing 707, the largest plane flying in 1966, the year they broke ground on the project.
A Description of the World Trade Center The twin towers of the World Trade Center were essentially two tubes, with the north tower (1,368 feet) six feet taller than the south tower (1,362 feet), and each were 110 stories tall. Each tube contained a concrete core, which supported only the load of the central bank of elevators and stairwells (Snoonian and Czarnecki 23). www.unc.edu...
As for the light poles, I am not sure which conspiracy site you are getting your info from, but the "official" trajectory does account for either taking out the light poles by contact or by wingtip vortice...that they were not mentioned in the "official" report, means squat.
And no, I did not sidestep anything. The nose of the aircraft, keel beam/what was left of the cockpit/what was left of the avionics bay and yes, the nose gear and its associated mounting, caused the punch out.
Again, that you choose not to accept the evidence, by basing your beliefs on the non-release of non-existent videotapes, does not change reality.

You do realize that the majority of the engine is NOT titanium right? Or do you not know that?

Why is there no holes or at least marks where the two 7,000lbs (3,181kgs) titanium engines hit the building?
The entrance hole of flight 77 was at least 70 feet wide and in places two stories tall. The remaining entrance hole into the pentagon was at least one story tall. One wing dipped and hit the ground on the way into the pentagon. The destruction of the columns in the first ring struck was at least 70 feet wide. I would say the engines were instrumental in helping the entrance hole maintain a minimum height of 10 feet tall. But being external, the first impact and first encountered rows of columns help to obliterate the engines. The frames of the landing gearr protected by being tucked into the fuselage gave them survivability to punch out the last hole.
The question is? How would a 16,000 pound missile 3 feet in diameter punch out a 70 foot mide entrance hole, take out columns in a path 70 feet wide, and knock out wall after wall with smaller and smaller holes. Pushing the debris in the path of travel?
If the missile exploded, the blast radius would grow in radius and lessen in shock wave.

while you're at it, how about you provide any diagram or illustration showing exactly how a landing gear can traverse through this kind of distance, through these kinds of materials, and have enough force to be the sole reason for the punch out hole.

evidence? you'd like to discuss evidence?
oh, they definitely exist.
