and for what? to goto war? Ive only been reading into the wtc ct so much, for it makes me sick to think about. i guess im just not smart enough to understand the whole thing. someone plz help expand my mind. i dont know who to believe. and with the pentagon, well thats crazy to me aswell

they had severe fires, fully-involved if any of them were, that burned pretty much all day.

Kind of..but you see the top floors some 100,000 tons didnt collapse on the WHOLE of the structure below. It collapsed on ONE FLOOR at a time. Then some 110,000 tons on the next floor down, then 120,000 on the next, ect.. So even though the bottom steel was larger, the falling weight was increasing -- Does this visual make any sense?

That hypothesis makes the assumption that floors fell on floors. There is no proof, or even evidence, that any floors fell and impacted lower floors.
That paper might prove it's possible, but not probable. They're also trying to tell you the top was heavier than what it supposedly fell on, the lower undamaged structure, i.e. the jar of pennies analogy. The top had no extra weight to overcome the resistance it would have met from the undamaged lower structure.
Have you ever looked at the collapse of WTC2? How does the tilt of the top section effect it's ability to fall and crush the rest of the building? Go look up 'angular momentum'.
Sry but that hypothesis is based on assumptions and ignores other facts that make complete global collapse from gravity an impossibility. Even NIST doesn't support the 'pancake effect'.
If you can't repeat the effect in the lab, as NIST failed to do, then words on paper mean absolutely nothing.
I suggest you do some more research, of your own, instead of just believing something that 'seems to make sense.'

finally I SAID "ANYONE THAT THINKS THE TOWERS FALLING AT FREE FALL SPEED IS EVIDENCE". obviously someone needs to pay attention to posts before posting themselves

Huh? It wasn't a global collapse? OK so for the last 6 years we've all got it wrong? Sorry bro you need to do a lot of reading to catch up...
