World Trade Center North Tower Collapse Seismograms at Five Local Stations
(from: 911research.wtc7.net...)
The signals at PAL from the North Tower collapse and a small felt earthquake that had occurred beneath the east side of Manhattan
on January 17, 2001 were of comparable magnitude (see Figure 5). However, the character of the two seismograms is quite
different. Note that distinct P and S body wave responses are seen only for the earthquake; this is usually the case in comparing
the seismic signatures of man-made ground disturbances and those recorded in earthquake events.

A small earthquake, preliminary magnitude 2.5 according to the U.S. Geological Survey, occurred between the southern tip of Manhattan and Queens, near Newark, New Jersey, at 7:34 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 17. Shaking was felt in New York City. The USGS has received no reports of damage at this time.

No, this has been addressed. The two spikes happen before the registered collapse of the towers.
The nuclear theory is the only theory that explains all the observed damage at WTC. And it explains the radiation sicknesses so prevalent in the first responders.

In a report issued just months after the attacks, the National Resources Defense Council, a New York–based environmental advocacy group, noted that the World Trade Center’s north tower contained as much as 400 tons of asbestos. That, along with burning office furniture, mainframe computers and the thousands of fluorescent lights in the buildings, led to the release of lead, mercury, volatile organic compounds and other deadly poisons. “An environmental emergency such as this, with hundreds, if not thousands, of toxic components simultaneously discharged into the air on the scale of September 11th is unprecedented,” the organization wrote, and the effects “unknown.”
New research confirms that this toxic cocktail caused heightened rates of cancer.
Prezant also found that firefighters at Ground Zero had a substantial reduction in lung capacity. “Normally with lung exposure, you recover,” he says. “I found that their lung function did not recover, despite treatment and despite time. I attribute it to the extremely inflammatory nature of the dust found at the World Trade Center site. When you look at [the dust particles] under a microscope, they are very jagged, and they are coated with carcinogens.”
We are talking about radically increased cancer rates for people who were not exposed to the dust or were not part of the cleanup crews.
As in the people in surrounding areas and from working in downtown Manhattan after the attacks.

In the five months following the attacks, dust from the pulverized buildings continued to fill the air of the World Trade Center site. Increasing numbers of New York residents are reporting symptoms of Ground Zero respiratory illnesses.[1]

So there were S and P waves associated with the attack. They were generated and what caused them is debated. Not that these standard seismic waves were detected, along with surface sound waves which were recorded separately.
Finally you admit what only you denied
Only you
And that's the point. You can't generate these forces above ground or by a tower collapsing into a foundation, or by a building swaying.
The signals at PAL from the North Tower collapse and a small felt earthquake that had occurred beneath the east side of Manhattan

The analysis of seismic waves provided also insights on what happened September 11, 2001 in New York. Seismograph stations around the city recorded the signals generated by the aircraft impacts and the subsequent collapse of the two towers of the World Trade Center (the Lamont-Doherty Cooperative Seismographic Network provides a rich collection of datasets of the seismic activity around N.Y.). The collapse of the south tower generated a signal with a magnitude of 2.1 and the collapse of the north tower, whit a signal of magnitude 2.3, was recorded by 13 stations ranging in distance from 34 to 428km.
Also these seismograms show a distinct pattern if compared to the pattern caused by a natural earthquake. There are no P or S Waves, but the impacts of the buildings on the ground generated a sudden peak of short-period Rayleigh Waves.

Yes and you replied with an erroneous explanation. What I posted did not conclusively link the fire retardant materials to the high cancer rates.
The study was not about that. It established at what rate cancer was prevalent.
Which it establishes as abnormally high.
