You don’t even know the collapse time / sequence do you.
Your arguments full of crap.
Don’t worry. You proven over and over how clueless you are. And your arguments have zero substance and credibility.

Man. Your really losing it.
You don’t even know the collapse sequence and time do you.
Your here just to be a “devil’s advocate” even if you have to use truth movement lies, and if you literally have to make up crap.
Hint for the towers. The floor system collapsed slower than free fall. The falling mass did encounter resistance every time it did hit a floor. The core columns tumbled over and collapse slower and in the wake of the floor system failures.
It cannot be replicated, in any way, which is all nonsense, without support, without real physics. It's pure nonsense.

And free fall vs resistance.
See the leading edge of the falling debris to the right and left of the part of the tower still standing. That is in free fall. The collapse front of the mass “falling” through the still intact floors is lagging behind because it is encountering resistance of the intact floors.
The floor system was stripped from the core.
Sections of core columns stood whole seconds after the complete collapse of the floor system. And only because the core columns toppled from lose of later support which was provided by the floor system.
The core was not cut. The mass falling through the building did encounter resistance. Large portions of the core stood standing in the wake of the floor system collapsed.

The CD's I've seen on video did not collapse at free fall speed, yet they were all CD's. They had different collapse speeds, as well, but they were still all CD's. Some CD's left shards or fragments of the building still upright, yet they were all CD's too.
The 9/11 collapses were no different than other CD's, in any way. Some collapse a little faster than others, some are more complete, and clean collapses than others, but they are all CD's.
Compare the 9/11 collapses to any total collapses, prior to 9/11, and we know they were all CD's.
WHAT 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.

Failure of Welded Floor Truss Connections from the Exterior Wall during Collapse of the World Trade Center Towers
app.aws.org...
Summary
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.

The whole Truth Movement argument was it had to be CD because the towers fell at free fall speed. And there was zero resistance encountered. And the towers fell through the path of greatest resistance.
One. The twin towers did not fall at free fall speed speed.
Two. There was resistance encountered.

The floor connections were ether bent or sheared in one direction, down. Proving the structure provided resistance.

Three. The towers did not collapse through the path of greatest resistance. Large lengths of core columns stood standing after the complete failure of the floors systems. And only toppled in the wake of the collapse of the floor system.
The collapse of the Twin towers was very different than a CD. There was no evidence they were rigged for CD. The towers were not set up to capture shrapnel/splintered steel with traps and or water barrels. Windows are removed before a building is imploded.
There is no video, audio, photographic, seismic evidence of detonations with the force to cut steel columns. There were no obvious, awe inspiring explosions that clearly echoed about Manhattan. There is no indication of an over pressure event with a shockwave with the force to cut steel columns. There are no sounds of detonation indicative of detonations with a pressure wave with the force to cut steel columns. There was no observable ejection of shrapnel/ splintered steel before downward movement of the towers. There was no windows being blown out before downward movement of the towers. There was no shrapnel recovered from the injured. There was no shrapnel recovered from the dead / human remains. The towers started to lean before downward movement. There is no seismic evidence of detonations with the force to cut steel columns.
The collapse initiation was from vertical columns bowing inward. Or buckling on the side the towers leaned towards before collapse initiation.
The only similarity is fire / thermal stress caused enough failures that gravity pulled the rowers down.

So. You have no understanding of the collapse. You have no understanding of the sequence. You cannot explain how explosives would cause the inward bowing and buckling that caused the collapse initiation before downward movement.
It’s been showed the initial arguments of the truth movements were lies.
You cannot explain why a gravity collapse would be slower. When it is showed the collapse of the twin towers exhibited resistance.
And you have zero proof that pyrotechnics cut columns.
Got it.
And that's why you'll never be able to demonstrate it,

Actually. Fire / thermal stress fits the video / seismic evidence. Planted pyrotechnics does not. Especially collapse initiation.
Why don't you mention that most of the actual evidence was DELIBERATELY stolen by the same scum
