I don't see you disagreeing on the relative 'flimsiness' of the floor construction .
IE 100mm of lightweight concrete laid on corrugated iron sheets supported by lightweight trusses.
Mechanical floors were a little stronger but only by an extra 25mm of concrete.
The floors and their connections to the core and outer walls were the buildings' achilles heels. The connections even moreso than the floors themselves.
Failure of Welded Floor Truss Connections from the Exterior Wall during Collapse of the World Trade Center Towers
app.aws.org...
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.

If you spent the billions of dollars to repeat an event that happened twice that was captured in the video, audio, seismic evidence, what additional date could you collect from a 500,000 ton building collapse?
Do you seriously think it would cost billions of dollars to try and replicate this event? That's complete nonsense.

Better yet, why do you need a model when the video, audio, seismic, physical evidence was examined from the actual collapse?
If my account is so wrong then, what truth movement fantasy should I find more credible?
Then what truth movement fantasy are you going to champion, argue, and provide physical evidence of?
Is it nukes?
Thermite ceiling tiles and paint?
Dustification?
Holograms with missiles and lasers?
Fizzle no flash bombs?
Fire extinguisher bombs?
Plasma?
Did I miss any?
Waiting on you to state what I should find more credible?
Do you seriously think it would cost billions of dollars to try and replicate this event? That's complete nonsense.
Physical principles dictate that such a collapse cannot occur, in any way, shape, or form, unless the structural supports which have held the building intact for 30 years, are first completely removed.
Anyone knows that, or certainly should know it.

These structures were not even built until they built scale models of it, smaller sections of the support structure, and tested them for THIS EXACT SCENARIO, and far beyond what happened on 911

Do you need a picture to understand things?
I am able to understand some things without a picture.
Lateral displacement of heavy pieces are not caused by gravity.

Try taking Chemistry 101 before posting any more idiotic nonsense
Looks like did not take my advice ……..
Sulfur and Redundant WTF !!!
Why is a "Redundant" ??
Most high explosives do not need sulfur , everything is contained in the molecule - oxygen and fuel (carbon/hydrogen)
which undergoes rapid chemical reaction
Sulfur is only used in few low explosives mixtures like black powder or in pyrotechnic compositions
I don't know enough about the subject to claim this sulphur resulted from a nuclear explosion.
Obvious have no clue what you are taking about …….
Now explain how one places the explosives on the steel when the steel in covered over by thick later of sheet rock ?
Set off "wirelessly" - WTC had numerous radio/TV transmission facilities, that was the tall spire on WRC 1
Using wireless detonators in such any environment would have been risky - stray signals could easily set explosives
As for how sulfur corroded the steel
www.metabunk.org...
Fema did study the mechanism of how the steel was corroded by the fires
Was it a result of a nuclear explosion? We need a nuclear scientist to tell us if that's possible or not.

Steve Jones claimed he has unpublished data research belonging to USGS (US geological survey) and they according to him found melted Molybenium spheres in the WTC dust..
This is the inside of the World Trade Center.
The white stuff sprayed on the steel is fireproofing.
The fireproofing was a mixture of mineral wool and portland cement.
This is a portland cement kiln.
In the 70's they got rid of old tyres by throwing them in a cement kiln.
The steel belting in the tyres contain Molybenium wich would melt into small spheres and become part of the cement.
When the building collapsed the fireproofing turned to dust and released the spheres.
That is the source of Jones's Molybenium spheres, and the iron spheres, and the hollow silica spheres.
The spheres were made back in the 70's and had nothing to do with the fires on 911

No you don't.
A nuclear explosion has a HUGE pressure wave.
Also known as a loud boom.
Otherwise there's no point to using nukes.
There is no such thing as a silent explosion.
Except in the minds of conspiracy theorists.
Fact the entire building broke apart at the top to dust- means it was not silent.
Demolition- requires inward pull everything fold in and then expands violently outwards.
Nuclear explosion is an implosion also.

Clearly you were never in the military.
Ask any one who was in any of the recent wars. They will tell you that you cannot mistake an explosion for the rumbling of a building tearing itself apart.

Total BS. You have no clue what you are talking about.

Utter nonsense. Totally clueless.
