Your many posts here betray your claim that you trust no one.
Indeed, you trust men like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell and a host of others who concocted the nonsensical story you consistently defend here. You trust authorities and nobody else. When they tell you certain cell phone calls were made from airliners, you believe it, and you either do not know or do not care that those phone calls were impossible with cellphone technology in 2001.

Why can you not explain what caused the inward bowing of outer vertical columns that lead to buckling resulting in collapse? Can you cite evidence of columns cut by planted explosives from the video recordings of the WTC? The only thing you have is blatantly posting falsehoods to not pick what is clearly recorded in the video evidence?
Only loss of internal core column support could cause any 'inward bowing' of external columns. It cannot be more indicative of a CD, because moments later, the entire structure lost all support, and collapsed to the ground.

The evidence alone proves fire did not cause these collapses.
Fundamental physics makes it impossible to duplicate, in any way. They cannot duplicate it, and never attempted to duplicate it, for that very reason. It cannot be done.
When you don't use the actual evidence, or physical demonstrations, you are in denial of reality. Or have an agenda.

What does that have to do with:
When it comes to the truth movement, why do you echo the truth movement’s lies. And yes, they are lies. The same falsehoods debunked over and over the past 16 years plus.
What are you going to do now? Back to the same old play book? Pick some poor first responder, and falsely parade them around as suffering from radiation poisoning stemming from a fantasy nuclear bomb using misquotes and innuendo?
Your on going and current postings of falsehoods?

I don't post falsehoods NF. I post a simple observation, the truth, that seems to make you very uncomfortable.
I post facts that contradict the official story and render it horribly inaccurate. Facts like no airliners where there were supposed to be airliners. Facts like the commission being set up to fail. Facts like cell phone calls impossible at the time.
And on and on. We are through NF. Your belief in the official story is your business, not mine.

False.
You mean like columns cut by a jet impact removing them.
No evidence of a an detention with the force to cut steel to initiate collapse. No bang, no shockwave, ni flash, no splintered steel being ejected at 140 km/h. Absolutely no evidence of conventional explosives. None.
Thermite? How did the triggering system survive jet impacts and fire?
Thermite single cut on each core column? Thermite burns relatively slow. Take 1 minute to get through the columns? The load bearing down on the columns would push together the molten cuts, result in cold welding of the columns’ cuts. How would you drop the core with only one cut on each column?
Thermite, two cuts on a core column. How do you unlodge the cut section to drop the core.
You do cut a section of core to drop the core. The actual video shows the inward bowing of the side of the tower in a narrow band. Buckling the outer columns only in one or two floors. The upper part of the towers above the buckling dropped down as whole units with slight leans. A dropped core would case visible damage runing up the structure.
There is no evidence of a cut core.
The bowing literally looks like a chain is hooked perpendicularly to the columns, pulling them in.
More views of WTC 2. Last video has video and photo analysis to document the extent of bowing. Calls out truth movement falsehoods.

You explain how a demolition system would survive jet impacts and fires to initiate collapse at the points of jet impacts. And how a CD system would cause inward bowing in a narrow band isolated to one or two stories to cause buckling to initiate collapse.
They assumed that the steel failed, from the extremely high temperatures of fires.

We have to understand that if it was not caused by fires.
It's another cause(s), unknown as yet. And that's what they should have continued the investigation for, immediately afterwards.
It can't be investigated further, thanks to your side. Asking for proof of a CD is a joke, since your side destroyed all the actual steel evidence.
You take the evidence, examine it, and after none of it supports your claim, you avoid it, destroy it, and invent useless computer models, as support. So there's no existing evidence to prove it was a CD, since you've destroyed it all!!
That's why you're trying to argue for evidence of something that you've already destroyed. As if that's even a valid argument, to start with!

See lots of rants by you based on falsehoods?
Can you quote they?

I take it you cannot point to the video evidence as an example to why CD should be taken seriously?

You have no idea what their analysis of steel is about, do you?
Read it, and you'll (hopefully) understand the problem.
I'll gladly address your posts, afterwards...

Let's review -
The investigation looked for fire-damaged steel. No other steel was considered relevant, and thus, was not collected, or analyzed. Only fire-damaged steel was considered relevant.
After they found out fires weren't hot enough to cause failure, their own steel was no longer considered relevant to the investigation.
What they did before collecting any steel, which they have never spoken about, is that they deliberately left some of the steel at the site, which they did not want to collect, or analyze.
That assured fires were hot enough to cause failure of steel - the steel which wasn't collected, or analyzed, obviously! Too bad they never collected or analyzed that steel, but oh well!!
It was nonsense, but nobody thought about it, anyway.
It's so easy to trick people, again and again..
The investigation looked for fire-damaged steel.
Final collapse of WTC 7

Page 25-26
Leading hypothesis
The fires on floor 7 through 13 headed the structure. Being lighter than the columns and thinner SFRM the floor beams, floor slabs, and connections heated more quickly and to higher temperatures than the columns. The elevated temperatures in the floor elements lead to their thermal expansion, sagging, and weakening, which resulted in failure of the floor connections and/or buckling of the floor beams.
Page 26
Sufficient breakdown of connections and/or beams resulted in loss of lateral support and the buckling of at least on critical columns
