Not to mention all the firestop spray broke off the beams from the vibration of the impact. I don't really know anything though I'm a structural engineer.
I doubt you would know. We hire fire stopping engineers for fire stopping and we hire structural engineers to tells what we already know lol
I'm the inspector for all of them. I'm sure I do know what I'm talking about.

I posted various videos of collapse initiation. Produce a theory to supersede inward bowing and buckling as outlined in this thread....

Then cite supporting evidence and sources....

No you don't. I have to provide you with the tested ULC assemblies and you just cross check my paperwork.
Do you design tested assemblies or Do you just come by and take pictures of assemblies tested and choses by others?

Structural engineers here do not provide LoA's for fire stopping. Fire stopping engineers provide those. And after initial design each trade had to provide shop drawings stamped by their own engineers so the architects contracted engineer is a formality and all the liability is shifted to each trade engineers for their disaplin. These shop drawings are approved by the design consultants and their engineers but in the end they are stamped and submitted by trade engineers. At
At least that is how it works here in Canada where buildings don't catch fire and implode on themselves.

I didn't cherry pick anything. I picked three collapse video with relative quickness and somewhat at random.
m.youtube.com...
This video shows the collapse first expelled smoke, took a heart beat for dust to become noticeable, and dust production increased gradually the first few seconds.

You will not answer true or false to if the towers floors had a specific load rating.
You will not answer true or false if exceeding the load rating will result in damage.
I posted videos of inward bowing and buckling.
You will not create a theory of what you witness from the video to supersede inward bowing and buckling.
The videos show during the inward buckling there was nothing being expelled. Just the vertical columns being drawn in with no audible cue.
Once the upper portion of the building starts downward is smoke expelled.
Then after a second does the dust production kick in.
From watching videos of building collapse as a result of earthquake damage, the dust production is about the same magnitude.

That's why they hire me to oversee the entire job and take on the entire liability. I'm the engineer for the entire job and I sign off on the entire job. I'm certified in about 9 different areas.

Your use of the picture is not in any context.
It doesn't even have time stamp to give how far into the collapse the picture was taken.
Find it odd you use the same photos with no context of time vs finding and posting a video to support your statement.
Here again are the videos I picked.

During the inward buckling there is nothing being expelled. When the upper portion of the building drop smoke is first expelled. After a second dust production states and increases.

False argument, quote where I said fabricated? How do you equate no context with fabricated.
Can you post video evidence of ANYTHING being expelled during inward bowing and buckling of the vertical columns becore the upper portion of the towers started to descend?

This has probably been posted before - I've no idea what to search for - and it deserves to be posted again.
So what about the liquid metal pouring out of the building, or the pools of liquid metal in the debris?

LMAO. Holly cow. That just completely broke your brain eh? Go consult with your team and see if you can come back with anything that resembles and argument. PM me when your ready to discuss.
