however, there were no high velocities to INITIATE the collapse, and, in the case of the first tower to fall, no noticeable leaning or gradual acceleration.
Noticeable buckling, though.
they just went into near free fall. one floors worth of (remaining)support columns gave out in an instant. all of them. at the exact same instant.
That is usually the pattern with buckling failures.

And before you freak out with, "OH NO! SUPER BUCKLING!" realize that those are aluminum covers: not the steel columns. The steel is behind the aluminum. Just thought you might like to know.

Is someone claiming that the blast of smoke/debris

was caused by planted, demolition explosives??
? could be that a stairway door (or elevator terminus) was opened and the accellerated debris blew out like a cannon, taking out the window glass!?
sorry, i don't see proof or demolition evidence
thanks,
i await reports & analysis from ats posters on the link which
wecomeinpeace has shared ....
(as i am not quite adept at all these downloading maneuvers with various
programs that need to be added to my PC Machine)
That's not even close to what the website says. There's videos that show a missle being fired from under the plane just before impact.

The so called pods are not missiles but napalm bombs to get the dramatic fireball effect you saw in the explosions.

We have gone over this before, bs, and frankly I am getting tired of beating you over the head on this subject.
Look again at this photo:

Such a stupid example, is that the best they can do?

Push the aluminum closer to the beam nearing the top - and bam. Looks like it's buckled. It's amazing. I know.
Put numbers on top of the columns and it creates a further illusion that the columns move outwards around where those numbers have been placed, thus exaggerating the small amount of space the aluminum moved inwards.

Immense heat around those columns is a joke. The aluminum is just falling off in the pic you posted, still in great condition, and aluminum melts at only around 600 degrees Celsius. That tilt would only last 2.5 seconds or so, too, before the collapse finished "initiating," and then the lateral charges kicked in and all the angular momentum just magically vanished! But that's something you can't get into, I guess, since NIST hasn't provided you any pictures trying to exaggerate the lack of tilt.

How's that? Can you see the inward bowing of the exterior columns there?

So where is your video of a dust cloud caused by a known building collapse to compare it to? Surely you're not just basing your argument on the fact the WTC cloud looks similar to a volcanic pyroclastic cloud?
You realise, of course, that different causes can have similar outcomes, surely you wouldn't be basing your argument on assumptions without a clear comparison?
