So the resistance you refer to is the resistance encountered by the object which slows its gravitational acceleration?

Least resistance = Top floors fall to ground and leaves rest of building standing.

Most resistance = Top floors slam straight down through the rest of the building structure.

How could the towers (and WTC7) fall through the path of most resistence except that strong structure below was already destroyed beforehand ahead of the collapse wave; turning it into the path of least resistance? Both towers (and WTC7) visually fell straight down, although something (explosives?) blew the 8000 pound outer perimeter wall sections away from the towers in every direction up to 600 feet away.

A "textbook" demolition, does not damage surrounding buildings. WTC 7's collapse caused so much damage to 30 West Broadway that it was torn down.
But, the question is (and has yet to be satisfactorily answered by ANYONE) how did WTC 7 get wired for demolition and no one noticed?
Quite frankly, anyone that believes the three buildings were controlled demolitions dont know a doggone thing about demolitions.

If, the WTC just collapse then you would see a normal pile of debris in it collapse zone, and you would see large chunks of concrete slabs, broken, and smash everywhere.

He claimed that the moltem metal pouring out of the tower was steel from thermite and not melted airplane aluminum because molten aluminum is always silver and never any other color. This is absolutely not true.
I worked for ALCOA and USSteel in the past and the color of hot metal is due to its temperature, not its composition. Ask any puddler.
Steven Jones is either the most incompetent physicist on the planet or a pathological liar looking to get in the spotlight and stay there.
You should know that Steven Jones has been completely discredited.
civil engineering department has stated that his claims are completely unsupported.
He has no evidence for thermite, thermate or any other such material.

I knew this thread was a hoax once I spotted the author.

Griff, you starting to think this could have been natural without explosives?

Your statement that there are no physical evidences shows you have not done very much research in to 911.
With esdad it's more like he just ignores anything that doesn't fit the 'official story'.
He knows all the 911myths type responses, which he parrots again and again regardless of any counter argument.
I mean he still thinks we believe the buildings fell at free-fall-speed, and he still thinks it's a relevant argument.
Esdad has been around long enough to know the arguments of both sides inside out, and he uses that to throw straw man arguments around. You get nowhere debating him, her, it...
(pretty much goes for most of our resident debunkers who have been around a lot longer than their present accounts would suggest)

It has already bothered me that it took so long for the WTC 7 to fall when people theorize that it was bought down with explosives. Why wait?
