Are you trying to say that all three WTC buildings had some floors completely gutted and all of the supports either cut or weakened? The examples you provided were prepped for collapse before they did the yanking. Did the airplanes do such precise weakening evenly across all supports?

I think reality would like to have a word with you. Crush down collapses are possible and can destroy an entire building quickly. Also depends on the design of the building.

i was talking about the twin towers, and even more so wtc7.
notice in this demolition video, the collapse takes about 8 seconds. that's about a TWENTY STOREY building, and i would bet dollars to donuts that it's not a steel frame building.
wtc7 fell in less than seven, and it was 47 storeys tall, and a steel frame, and it accelerated all the way to the bottom.
notice also in these demolitions, support is removed simultaneously, and these buildings we see crushing themselves are not steel core buildings with steel perimeter columns. so, the things that are similiar weigh in favour of my stance, and the things that are dissimiliar also weigh in the favour of my stance.
concrete is more susceptible to progressive collapse, because it is brittle.
also note, that as should be expected, the rate of collapse slows down as it gets closer to the ground.
i could post videos of failed demolitions where the collapse was arrested.
instead, i suggest anyone interested go to youtube and watch several different styles of demolition, and watch the acceleration

specifically, i said, that the twin towers cannot crush themselves that quickly. 110 storeys in 10 seconds, according to your precious 911 commission report. i would say more like 12 to 15.
there are much greater minds than mine that are on my side of the fence, and they are hard at work proving the obvious.
it is only a matter of time.

Watch this
Notice smoke pushing out of almost every floor on south face of WTC 7
Also can see fires breaking out on north face - side away from impact

I asked about massive fires, not smoke. Smoke is not fire.

So what is creating all that smoke?
Fires were reported on over a dozens floors in WTC 7
Also what is a symetrical fire ? Been in number of burning buildings
Never seen a symetrical fire
Fires start in a location and progress outward from initial location consuming fuel as go.
You can see the fires spreading on the North face - notice windows breaking and spreading up the building. It is called AUTOEXTENSION
and is how fires spread. Also fires would be spreading internally
through stairways, elevator shafts and pipe/electrical conduits

Did I say there were NO fires at all? Perhaps you need to go back and read it more carefully (funny how I seem to have to say that to you, throatyogurt, boone, jthomas, joey canoli, and I am sure others I am forgetting. EIther you are all the same guy (and I doubt that one) or people who believe the "official story" do so because they cannot really read anyway.) .
