It is clear the energy far exceeded the gravitational potential energy of the building.
It is utterly impossible for a "gravitational collapse" to proceed so destructively through a path of such great resistance in anywhere near free-fall times.
So while gravity is nearly strong enough to cause some things to fall that far, through air, in the observed interval, and while gravity is probably not strong enough to have so thoroughly disintegrated the towers under their own weight, gravity is certainly not strong enough to have done both at once.
On 9/11, gravity was much stronger than gravity.

You like word games? Let’s phrase the core argument like this. You think impact damage/ fire / thermal stress as the root cause is erroneous? Then what root cause is must support by the video/audio/picture/seismic record of the towers’s collapse?

So I was just over in /r/911truth and, during the course of a conversation, I took it upon myself to, once and for all, create a master list of the peer reviewed literature that supports NIST's WTC 7 methodologies and conclusions. Since it'll likely just get buried and ignored over there, I thought I'd spiff it up a bit and post it here for posterity as well.

The reports themselves were not. However, papers that drew extensively on significant portions of them were published in Fire Technology, which is peer-reviewed:
Overview of the Structural Design of World Trade Center 1, 2, and 7 Buildings
Structural Response of World Trade Center Buildings 1, 2 and 7 to Impact and Fire Damage
Structural Analysis of Impact Damage to World Trade Center Buildings 1, 2, and 7
The articles are available in pre-published format at the NIST site.

Instead, the team of more than 200 investigators gathered all the evidence they could to reconstruct the situation the buildings faced before and after the catastrophe. They analyzed 236 pieces of steel obtained from the wreckage, representing all grades of steel used in the buildings and including several pieces impacted by the aircraft or affected by fire. They obtained some 7,000 photographs and roughly 7,000 video segments totaling in excess of 150 hours from the media, public agencies and individual photographers. They compiled and reviewed tens of thousands of pages of documents and interviewed more than 1,000 people who had been on the scene or had been involved with the design, construction and maintenance of the buildings. They conducted lab tests involving large fires and the heating of structural components.

And, again....
Inward bowing causing buckling leading to collapse is more than theory, its validated by the video recorded. There is no proof of columns cut to initiate the towers’ collapse. Is that false.

We all think our theories are "more than theory"
So you watched some video someone took and conformed your silly conspiracy theory on that?
You must be a super duper scientist or something, eh?
Architects Shy From Trutherism
Architects didn't show up for a 9/11-architecture-conspiracy documentary screening—and the AIA doesn't want its name associated with Trutherism.

The AIA itself, however, is firm about its relationship with Gage. “We don’t have any relationship with his organization whatsoever,” Scott Frank, head of media relations for the AIA, told me.
The former employee of the Walnut Creek, Calif.-based architectural firm Akol & Yoshii is a full-time 9/11 conspiracy theorist, but Gage tries to maintain a façade of being a scientist asking scientific questions. He does his best to avoid the murkier political questions of who could have orchestrated a conspiracy theory and cover-up of the size and scope that the 9/11 conspiracy movement alleges, but his technical views are actually quite mainstream within the Truth movement.

Resolution 17-5: Investigation of the Total Collapse of World Trade Center Building 7, sponsored by Daniel Barnum, FAIA, and 50 Members of the Institute, failed with 4113 votes against and 182 votes in favor (with 179 abstentions). The resolution’s sponsors questioned the conclusions offered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in 2008 about the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7. They argued that the Institute should support “a new investigation into the total collapse of WTC7.”
High-Rise Building Fires
www.nfpa.org/-/media/Files/News-and-Research/Fire-statistics/Occupancies/oshighrise.ashx
When American adults think of high-rise fires, we often think first of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City’s iconic World Trade Center, the deadliest high-rise fire in world history. As part of a terrorist attack, two hijacked airplanes flew into the 110 story towers, setting them on fire and compromising the towers’ structural integrity. The fires and ensuing building collapses killed 2,666 civilians and firefighters. The 157 passengers and crew on the airplanes also perished.2

The television it is nothing but a propaganda machine - producing a zombie nation.

Why would the outer wall instantly stop all momentum into the tower.
Both jets had sufficient momentum to make the aircraft pass into the towers.
It will be argued that given enough speed the 6-ton engines will punch through the WTC structure.., but they can't explain the Wings. Absolutely no way fragile lightweight wings and tail could penetrate steel columns, as the video clearly shows them disappearing/ morphing into the WTC structure. No Crash is visible. Use your common sense.
