Ok, they fell in their own footprint while ejecting concrete and steel latterly in certain spots. If "falling straight down", and " into own footprint " causes you to think i backpedaled, then you are just going to the extreme on semantics and ignoring the entire point. Obviously when I said straight down, I was reinforcing the point that they went straight down just like an imploded building would.
You did completely ignore the fact that implosions can eject material much further than a city block. You completely ignore the fact molten steel was discovered at the footprint. How about over 100 first responders reported explosions and flashes during the fall. How about thermite discovered in the dust samples. How about NIST refusing to make public the data they used in their simulations.

really? I think your "facts" need further review.
foot·print (ftprnt)
n.
1. An outline or indentation left by a foot on a surface. Also called footmark, footstep.
2. The surface space occupied by a structure or device: the footprint of a building;
Definition of VIRTUALLY
1 : almost entirely
Its true the buildings didn't topple over but they most certainly DID NOT come "straight" down- most material followed the path of least resistance- down..but a lot of material was ejected, thrown outward and otherwise did not come straight down. Over 40 other buildings were damaged by this "own footprint" BS.
Its a false meme. Cling to it if you must.
WTC Dust Study Feb 29, 2012 by Dr. James Millette

Here is Jim Millette's latest reply to the new 9/11 Truth chant that "he didn't do DSC so his testing is invalid":
Chris,
My assessment of the situation is that researchers performed DSC on some WTC chips and found what they thought was an exothermic reaction. They then formed a hypothesis that this might be caused by thermite materials in the dust. As is required in scientific inquires their hypothesis was testable. They set out to confirm their hypothesis by testing the chips. Their microscopical analysis showed some results that they concluded were consistent with thermite or nano-thermite. I was asked to analyze the materials to see if I could confirm or not confirm their conclusion. My initial tests showed similar findings in terms of the characteristics of the chips. However, additional testing following analytical forensic methods showed that the chips were not thermite or nano-thermite. We repeated the tests on 4 different samples from different locations and found the same result – not thermite. It seems to me that the ball is now in their court. The DSC testing can suggest a type of material based on thermal properties but cannot be used to prove the existence of thermite. If they believe that the DSC results clearly show an exothermic reaction they need to come up with another testable hypothesis as to what the chips are as they are not thermite.

Avery simple argument. So now there is lateral ejection with any CD?
Below is a link that has the video of the inward bowing of WTC 2 that resulted in buckling of the outer columns, and initiated the collapse of the top of the building into the tower below.

There is no evidence of CD. Sorry.
There is more visual evidence of the collapse process than that tiny corner. The other building never showed that inward bowing, it had less than half the weight on the top section and the building came down at the exact same speed.
So the factors that brought down the buildings were incosistant, yet produced consistant results?
I think you are missing a factor that is consistant in both towers that was required for both collapse to occure at consistant speeds. Not free fall, but equal enough that their collapse innitiation had to come from equal forces.
You do realize the top of WTC 2 started to lean before collapse. Is that false. I think WTC 1 showed signs it would fail, and also had a slight lean.
But once the bowing that cased the leaning changed to buckling, the building was past the point of no return. The columns buckled, and the remaining columns had to fallow suit. Once the vertical columns lost all resistance to uphold load, gravity took over to pull straight down.

I gues saying the buckling was in a narrow band around the circumference of the building in an area relative to the jet impacts can be worded better? How about the buckling occurred in a narrow one to two story band relative to the jet impacts?
Anyway, here is more?

AN ANALYSIS OF THE TIPPING OF THE UPPER SECTION OF WTC 2 By
F.R. Greening
5.0 Summary and Conclusions
The collapse of WTC 2 began with a tilting or rotational motion of the upper section of the Tower about a “hinge” at the 80th floor. This rotational motion, which commenced at a tilt angle 2, was caused by an almost instantaneous multi-column failure that eliminated the structural support on one side of WTC 2 near the impact zone. Once set in motion, the upper block moved with a nearly “free” rotational trajectory of a body pivoting under the constant force of gravity. This behavior was sustained at tilt angles up to about 25. Thereafter the motion of the block changed somewhat although the suggestion that the tilting suddenly stopped is not correct.
What appears to happen is that the tilting upper section was continuously crushed near the 80th floor by its own momentum so that the rotation was no longer that of a rigid body. Eventually the "hinge" at the northeast corner failed and the descending block took on a more vertical motion. Interestingly, once the hinge failed, and the pivot became frictionless, the motion of the center of gravity is predicted to become vertical, causing a shift in the rotational axis. Unfortunately, however, details of this stage of the WTC 2 collapse were obscured by smoke, dust and flying debris.

A lot of babble and nothing noting the issue i raised. Then again you did offer something consistant... you dont know what fruck your talking about.. again.
Then you explain what caused WTC 2’s outer columns to bow in, and then buckle to initiate collapse?
Or post actual evidence of detentions with the force to cut steel to initiate the twin towers’ collapse? A system that survived jet impacts and fires to initiate the collapse at the point of the jet impacts? A system the truth movement claims had to takeout the resistance of every floor to achieve the witnessed collapse rate?

Forget the twin towers for one second, and look at wt7 aftermath and tell me that isn't in it's own footprint.
Considering you can't understand simple facts, such as an airliner crashing into the ground leaving no large debris is unheard!
or that a skyscraper doesn't just collapse straight down due to structural damage or fire, then I can't take you seriously.

You avoided several other points earlier. I would to know how you can buy the bs narrative in Pennsylvania. I would like to know how you could buy the story of a passport found at ground zero yet no blackboxes.

Passports and ID’s are often found at crash sites. Along with clothes and personal papers. Even shot down airliners?

And it is well recorded jet wreckage ended up in the streets surrounding the WTC. There are some personal effects recovered from the WTC site from the jets on display at museums.
It’s expected some personal items will survive jet crashes. Throw a piece of paper against a wall vs an egg and let me know the results.

I think it’s sad people are suckered by the charlatans of the truth movement with false pictures of thermite cuts, fraudulent thermite research, and pseudoscience. People that enable the exploitation of 9/11, and ignore the real incompetence of the government.
Then provide evidence something other than inward bowing leading to vertical column buckling resulting in collapse for the WTC Towers? As seen in the video in the linked to thread below.

I find it odd I want to talk about the evidence in the actual video and audio of the Towers’ collapse. The actual moment the collapse was caught on video. From different angles. And the lack of evidence for planted explosives.
You want to change the subject to Shanksville and passports to prove planted explosives at the WTC?
Don’t worry, typical conspiracist’s behavior.....
