Look at the bracing of those columns. Fire and damage brought them down my arse.

IMO, no falling debris could damage that massive steel structure, nor fire.

It would be nice if someone would calculate the required work to sever one of those columns and see if WTC 1 falling on them could do it. Anyone? Not to mention severing the cross bracing also. If I can find time, I might try.

Not so sure. They'd have to know what type of explosive to use (the work needed) to sever steel to do a regular CD. I bet there is a table somewhere that has the values needed to sever steel by work (force). I could be wrong though.

Well no, you are right there might be a table for directed force on a single beam, but what about indirect brute forces on several beams and cross braces acting together to form an over all structural integrity?
You have a single beam with one force rating, but how much does that force rating change when there is another cross brace or beam giving it extra support?

Ah! I was just about to say, I know someone who has such a table, he just told me so last night. So if I can get the amount of, say, C4 that it would take to cut that column, could you convert that (with what's known of C4) to Joules or something along those lines?
Give me a column size and I'll see what I can do.
On top of that, we can figure how much mass would have to "fall" from the floor the debris came from to perform that work, given that acceleration was due to gravity alone (which is obviously incorrect if the beam traveled laterally).

... you cannot blame them.
