I'm not convinced about DEW theories but...

Of course not! I don't even know what you're arguing about anymore but of course it has to be something.

There is no need to argue what was or was not there when I just posted and image. The only things that were not left standing in that image eventually were the supports holding the kangaroo cranes up.

Core supports ran vertically not horizontally.

So you're trying to say the core had no lateral bracing anywhere, or what?

All I did was explain the photo and the steel parts in the photo. I specifically stated the notched horizontal girders were the attachment for the inside vertical core supports and the other internal rough steel framing, including lateral truss stability via the foundry cast horizontal notched inserts for trusses. I was very clear in that respect. Which is why I do not understand why you asked a question regarding an aspect I clearly covered.

I did not present what I did as points of argument. I presented it as statement of facts, concerning the rough steel framing in the WTC towers.
