Try it for yourself, pick up anything you like, hold it at arms length and let go. (I wouldn't recommend trying this with the pet gerbil or the wife but you get my drift). What happens, well, assuming it's not so light like a feather or a tissue that it is affected by the resistance of the air, it falls straight down doesn't it?. What's more, basic physics dictates that it will do this every single time until you introduce a new force to the equation.
unless some specific force acting on them makes them go somewhere else.
Originally posted by GriffTry this for yourself. Place a table beneath the object before you let go. Does the object fall through the table or bounce off? It's called Newton's third law.

Buildings do not fall straight down due to fire.
At the risk of sounding a bit pedantic I have to disagree with you. You see, the point is that EVERYTHING falls straight down whatever the cause. Yep, that's right, apples, people, buildings they all fall straight down...

Originally posted by gottagoTT you're way off here. Yes, gravity works in such a way that things in FREEFALL fall straight down, but something like a building follows the PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE.

Nope, I think you'll find that I'm bang on actually.

Well for once this time the pandora´s´Box is open now if WTC was CD so did the WTC I and II and most probably the other so called terrorist attacks...so what was 9/11?
A coup d etat?
A Neo Con agenda...
A twin party agenda?
Simply control and lossing the freedom on the constitution?
ALL OF THE ABOVE?
hang on ...we are in for a hell of a ride...

Everything will constantly strive to fall straight down and will only stop doing so when another force comes into play and it will resume falling straight down again when that force goes away.

My point was and still is that a lot of arguments about the collapse appear to start from the premise that for a collapse to be vertical it needs some assistance which is fundementally incorrect,
However, I am a little intrigued that since I made both this comment and an earlier one which questioned why a perpetrator of demolition would take the time and effort to stage a collapse which bore many similarities to a controlled demolition rather than one which fell in an almighty messy heap a number of supporters of demolition have been at pains to point out that much if not most of the debris did NOT actually fall within the footprint of the buildings which has so often been a staple argument of the demolition theorists.
