I think the towers did have concrete around the box columns in the core, but I don't understand the logic behind a lot of what you use to back it up, like this April Fool's thing.

BTW, I've tried contacting the structural engineer with a few questions. Guess what....I haven't heard a single word from them on anything. I don't think they like talking about it at all. So, just some Joe Shmoe isn't really going to get an answer in my opinion. I used my company e-mail showing that I work for an architectural firm and have a degree in civil engineering and they still won't talk with me. I guess I'm not asking the right questions?

That would be a day when Robertson could post, tell the truth, and it wouldn't come back to him.

Could anyone trace the IP?
I would sooner think someone was messing with you.

FOIAs only work for Government Agencies.

I have yet to hear you or agentsmith discuss how the columns all managed to get sawed off at level 90 degree angles in a catostrophic failure like this?

Im sure the government has the "structural" engineer and designs that were used in their reports.
And again, WHY can't anyone call them up? If they dont want to answer, then keep on callig until they do.

And most of the data is actually in the NIST reports, if you bother to read it.

Chistopher has already told us he will stick his fingers in his ears and sing "NA NA NA" when he is shown the original drawings from the Port Authority.
You're just saying that because you know most people here haven't read it. It says very little, and repeats itself over and over and over.

I have read the NIST report, from back to front.
And it was rathre disappointing, honestly. I would of thought they would a done a better job of covering up the whole thing. I mean they miss out so many things in their report it's just not funny. I mean why don't they explain how a building collapse sends steel beams flying into other buildings so they stick out like arrows.
You can clearly see parts of the buildings being blown upwards during the collapse.

The movement of an individual item in the collapse in unpredictable. The movement of the whole is predictable and definable.
But resistance in any particular direction by a few box columns at any point in collapse would have effectively lopsided the falling of everything above (which would've already been extremely unstable). Ask any demolition engineer the importance of knocking out all columns to ensure against lopsiding, especially with taller buildings.

I knew there was no point in reading the NIST report because the actual core was well known to me.

My knowledge of the towers design and construction came from viewing a 2 hour documentary seen on PBS in 1990 called, "The Construction Of The Twin Towers".

They weren't "sawed off" Those looked like the original ends of the columns. The columns connections were all bolted up.
