No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that your insistance that it's relevant in any way to the collapse of the WTC is being dishonest. When a support column is bent sideways by the floor brace attached to it, it lost its structural integrity regardless of what kind of mass it has.
The structure was NOT "stronger and heavier all the way down".

If you're attempting to derail this topic with strawman arguments so you can "get me" in completely irrelevent topics, I must tell you I am immune to such games. I will repeat this so it finally sinks in- every floor was held up entirely by a horizontal brace connected to the inner core and the outer perimeter so ever floor had exactly the same load bearing capacity as every other floor regardless of its location in the building, so if one floor collapsed becuase it was overcome with too much weight, then all the floors would have collapsed. If you genuinely expect the core columns to remain standing like flagpoles after all the floors had been stripped off then you are certainly not anyone to be judging other people's intelligence here.
Incorporate the fact into whatever conspiracy agenda it is that you're pushing as you see fit.

I don't give a damn about any conspiracy. I don't care who did it.
I am simply saying that a NORMAL airliner could not bring the buildings down and the top 15% of the north tower could crush the rest in less than 18 seconds.

Which is nonsense because the way you describe the floors being supported means the core and the perimeter had to get stronger and heavier all of the way down.

Either you're a complete fool, or you're lying through your teeth. This is a board where conspiracies are being discussed, and this thread is a 9/11 conspiracy forum. Your simply being here and posting things like, "a normal airliner can't bring the buildings down" necessarily means you *do* give a damn about a conspiracy. You're insisting that there is one.

(Sigh) it's like talking to a mannequin. I'm going to say this ONE MORE TIME...each floor was structurally exactly like every other floor so the fourth floor near the bottom had exactly the same strength and weakenesses as the 94th floor near the top. If the 94th floor collapsed becuase it was hit with a weight greater than it could support, then the fourth floor is going to collapse too as well as all the floors in between. This is an established fact and you cannot change it to your liking.
Your claims that "the upper 15% could not crush the rest" is nonsense becuase every video of the colllapse in existence shows the upper 15% DID crush the rest. Namely, it crushed each floor in turn. If you want to claim the towers shouldn't have collapsed, you shouldn't be arguing about details irrelevent to the physical mechanics of the collapse like the vertical columns becuase the photo I posted showed right away what happened to them. You need to argue that the initial floor that fell, shouldn't have fallen.

I know the floors were the same but you said STRUCTURE. The core and the perimeter columns were part of the STRUCTURE.
So you can say stupid sh!t and still convince yourself that you are intelligent.
I am just mad at the nitwits running the educational system that can't get everybody on the same page of a Newtonian physics book.

Now there we agree. Somewhere along the line some jerk is putting out foolishness like "upper 15%" as if the building was one solid block of steel rather than built out of of millions of little pieces and billions of separate weak points, and then you come along and get suckered into it. I know you didn't come up with this bit yourself. You had to have read it on some damned fool conspiracy website somewhere.
