Again, the second picture in that post is not melted lead and plastic many days later, still red hot.
Explain your argument beyond just stating it. Explain that picture with the excavator. More melted, dripping molten "paper"?

There WAS seismic activity. What are you even talking about? We are done.
That is not even debated. It's explain away as the buildings swaying with the impact. No one who FELT the shockwave agrees with you. There is even video evidence of the tremor.
You are alone.
At that point our building started to shake like an earthquake, just like shook, you wouldn’t believe being in a building this size that it could shake literally this much. The lights went out, and the shaking stopped. During the shaking, which lasted it could’ve been 15 to 30 seconds, which is a pretty long time."
"I made it up onto the -- I guess you call it the concourse level, the mezzanine level, and onto the foot bridge when I started to hear -- I thought I heard an explosion of some sort, but I kind of dismissed it. I figured, ah, it's just something burning upstairs. I really didn't think of what was going on. Okay. I start going across this pedestrian bridge. I'm the only one on this bridge. I'm walking across it, and then I just remember feeling a rumble and hearing this rumbling sound that was really intense. It actually shook my bones." [Louis Cook -- Paramedic (E.M.S.)]
The above estimates of the shake's time period is far longer than the 10 seconds it took for WTC 2 to collapse. The video on this page shows a ground shake occurred ~13 seconds before the collapse of WTC 1. If you add the collapse time to this then the ground shake associated with the collapse of this building would have totalled ~22 seconds, therefore the above time estimates of WTC 2's ground shake may well be correct.

9/11 and the Science
of Controlled Demolitions

3WHAT ABOUT THE ALMOST FREE-FALL COLLAPSE OF THE TWIN TOWERS? The key is the “almost” modifier. If I told you I was making almost $100,000 and you found out I was making only $67,000, you’d say I was exaggerating. So stop exaggerating the collapse speed of the WTC Towers! The 80,000 tons of structural steel slowed down the collapses of the Twin Towers to about ⅔ (two-thirds) of free-fall.3 And the core collapsed at about 40% of free-fall speed, coming down last.4 According to Richard Gage: “To bring a building symmetrically down, what we have to do is remove the core columns.” But on 9/11 the stronger core columns came down last, which violates this supposed most fundamental rule of controlled demolition.
With the exception of Chernobyl and Bhopal, the 9/11 attacks have affected the greatest number of people, with as many as 400,000 at risk for cancer, diseases, and mental-health illnesses, according to the World Trade Center Health Program. (This compares with 600,000 at Chernobyl and 500,000 at Bhopal, Lucchini found).

Thyroid Cancer in Las Vegas Firefighters; Are We the Only Ones?
www.mpffu.org...
Other tests have provided solid foundation evidence that there are certain chemical exposures which can increase the apparent risk of thyroid cancer (Lope, et al, 2009). Even the most widely accepted medical treatments for some other cancers have now been shown to increase the risk of developing thyroid cancer as a subsequent primary disease (Curtis, et al., 2006). For Las Vegas Fire and Rescue, this project highlighted the need for further study into the potential causes of thyroid cancer, both for itself and for other fire departments and citizens as well. As of this writing, LVFR has nine personnel who do not have a familial thyroid cancer history, have not been excessively exposed to any known source of ionizing radiation, were not previously treated with radiation therapies, have not been exposed to any of the other known chemicals which might increase their risk, and yet all present with the same papillary form of thyroid cancer.
