I am countering YOUR arguement that you keep posting over and over and over again.
repeating over and over that you don't believe their theory or my theory which doesn't even exist is not countering/refuting anything
its just exposing something

Crush-down/Crush-up. Neutflux keeps posting from papers written by Bazant and Bazant is an idiot whos theories are not supported by video and images
This is ridiculous, quote the posts in this thread that I quoted Bazant?

Failure of Welded Floor Truss Connections from the Exterior Wall during Collapse of the World Trade Center Towers
app.aws.org...
Analysis of the connections supporting the composite floor system of the WTC towers showed that at and below the im- pact floors, the greater majority (above 90%) of the floor truss connections were either bent downward or completely re- moved from the exterior column. This was probably related to the overloading of the floors below the impact region after col- lapse initiation. Depending upon weld joint geometry, detachment of the main load-bearing seats was a result of either fracture in the heat affected zone of the base material (standoff plate detached from spandrel) or through the weld metal (seat angle detached from standoff plate). Failure in both cases was assumed to be a result of a shear mechanism as a result of overloading from floors above impacting those below. There did not appear to be a significant change in distribution of failure modes of the floor truss connections when comparing those connections inside vs. outside of the impact region or those ex- posed to pre-collapse fires and those that were not.
Yes, really. It's common knowledge.
The thickness of steel changed the floor system weights at different heights of the tower.
You are welcome to list who gravity's helper was.
I posted video and images of wall being pushed outward. So that was not true

You are confused.
No worries.
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.
gravity combined with the kinetic energy created by all the tonnes of building that was above coming down.
Gravity was not enough to destroy the buildings and accelerate a mass through them. Gravity alone would result in a deceleration.
Who ever said it was gravity alone? In my last post I explained and here you are again "gravity cant do this or that"

cell phone calls from jets hasn’t been played yet?
1) 2 planes, 3 buildings.
2) Only 3 steel skyscrapers have ever collapsed due to structural fires... all 3 were in NYC on 9/11/01.
3) Again, what about WTC 7? Assuming some miraculous previously-unknown science allowed jet fuel + explosions + whatever else to melt steel beams, why did WTC 7 come down?
4) Why do so many "training exercises" happen to be occurrin

And NORAD's sophisticated radar? It ringed the continent, looking outward for threats, not inward. "It was like a doughnut," Martin says. "There was no coverage in the middle." Pre-9/11, flights originating in the States were not seen as threats and NORAD wasn't prepared to track them.

The seven World Trade Center buildings were in the two blue regions of the map to the right. On September 11th, all 7 buildings were destroyed. 110-story WTC 1 and 2, and 47-story WTC 7 were leveled, and WTC 3, 4, 5, and 6 were severely damaged, with large portions of WTC 3, 4, and 6 being crushed.
