So now you think mechanical floor 75 should have held the 35 floors above it? Magic.
When the exterior was sliced and then heated it gave way allowing all the mass to be placed on those lonely floor trusses below.

After the areas of initial buckling, Ithe vertical columns were not the cause of the continued collapse. What don’t you get the towers did not fall through the path of greatest resistance. The 29 floors above the buckling for WTC 2, and the 11 floors above the buckling of WTC 1, fell onto the first static floor below the buckling. The connections connecting the floor first hit by the upper portion were only rated to support a load equivalent to the mass of six tower floors. The falling mass either sheared floor connections, or broke through the actual floor decking. This allowed the falling 29 / 11 stories to take out the floor system at the rate of 67 percent free fall. Long sections of vertical columns where left standing in the wake of the floor system collapse. The vertical columns fell at the rate of 40 percent the rate of free fall by toppling over from the loss of lateral support.

I see your short comings and questions answered? As in the towers did not fall through the greatest path of resistance. Will you address debunker’s questions, or just rant?
Then you explain what caused what is seen in the video in the linked to thread below?
Here's my answer:
I think that any deformation that we see on the exterior of the tower was caused by an initiation that was core centric.
