I notice that despite all the know-it-alls insisting on contolled demolitions, cruise missiles at the Pentagon, hologram planes, or whatever, Judy Wood and her "lasers fron outer space" bunch were the only ones with enough conviction in their research to actually file a lawsuit claiming there was a coverup.
I'd like to know how the conspiracy people explain that.
Why do you care?
to explain how the WTC fell while all the concrete turned to dust before the WTC hit the ground.

If a commercial airliner crashed into your house , and you saw it happen , would you insist on calling the bomb squad , or anyone else , to test for traces of bomb residue ?

"All" of the concrete did not "turn to dust" , and you damn well know it , so stop lying about it .

Before you go calling people liars can you show me ONE piece of the concrete floors

I have not seen anything to confirm that damned fool NIST report.
By the same token, I have yet to see anyone refute eyewitness accounts like those of Deputy Chief Peter Hayden saying out of control fires were causing large scale bulging in the side of WTC 7
or anyone showing how controled demolitions or lasers could have destroyed WTC 7 from the inside out as every video of the collapse has shown.
I've pretty much already given up on saying anything further to you, Impressme, as it's blatantly obvious you've become so outer space fringe in your crackpot conspiracy claims you've taken to making stuff up off the top of your head and even your fellow conspiracy theorists (I.E. Bonez) are hoping that you'd go away.
I can't even ask a simple question like why despite Judy Wood's low credibility she's the only one with enough conviction to file federal lawsuits without having to play childish mental chess games with you.
You have all the credibility of a snake oil peddler so it's pontless to waste any more time on you.
I still gotta ask, though- are you officially signing onto the "lasers from otuer space" claim now? Or are you going to weasel out of answering that question too?
to explain how the WTC fell while all the concrete turned to dust before the WTC hit the ground.
There you go again , lying . Why do you keep doing that ? Do you actually think that no one will call you on it ?

Any way you slice it, there was just not that much dust.

Irrelevant. "Out of control fires" does not automatically equate to what happened to WTC7, in any realm outside of twisted fantasy. You still have absolutely zero proof.
Inside out? You think WTC7 would have to be demolished from the outside in?
So if you're going to be trashing everyone else for having no proof, where's the proof from that damned fool NIST report "Dave"?
Those are steel beams.
Concrete is a very complicated mixture of different metal oxides,
hydroxides, and silicates (many of which form extensive,
interpenetrating networks), mixed with a filler material such as
gravel or rock. It does not maintain its chemical identity when
heated. If concrete is heated to a high enough temperature, the
hydroxides decompose to form oxides and water; the water is quickly
lost as the vapor. The remaining metal oxides are quite refractory;
they remain solid at very high temperatures. The rock components of
concrete will decompose or melt at differing temperatures depending
on their mineral composition.
So the short answer to your question is that concrete will decompose
rather then melt when heated, and the clinker that remains after it
cools back down will unmistakably not be concrete.

Those photos show articles that were encapsulated in DECOMPOSED concrete , not molten concrete .
On the 41st and 42nd floors, both towers will house mechanical equipment. To accommodate the heavy loads, the floors are designed as structural steel frame slabs. All other floors from the ninth to the top (except for 75 and 76, which will also carry mechanical equipment) have typical truss floor joists and steel decking. 1
