Do you find it not very suspicious then that even they and all those other steel parts were completely pulverized also?
Nope, because I've never seen any evidence of pulverized steel.

It is assumed that the explosives which were used were very special ones
The explosives used in all three WTC buildings were the same used in any other conventional controlled demolition.
The Twin Tower demolitions resembled conventional demolitions in that the Towers fell with dead-centered vertical symmetry; but differed in that material was ejected horizontally in all directions, resulting in rubble piles several times the diameter of the Towers' footprints. The Twin Towers exploded rather than imploded.
The Twin Towers were also demolished at a more rapid rate than is the case in conventional demolitions.
Contrary Evidence
The distributed explosives theory can easily explain the gross features of the collapses from the top-to-bottom destruction to the pulverization of the Towers' materials. However, there are a number of more subtle features of the collapses that do not appear to be consistent with this theory, at least in its simplest form. The following collapse features suggest that the demolition of the Towers was accomplished using technologies other than just distributed conventional explosives. In contrast, many of the same features do appear to be consistent with the thermobarics theory, and the final one suggests the thermite theory.
• Absence of high blast pressures in collapse onsets
Careful study of photographs and videos of both collapses shows that the perimeter walls do not immediately blow out in the way one would expect if explosives adjacent ot the perimeter columns were used to destroy them. Rather, the walls telescope as they disappear into the burgeoning dust clouds, to partially reappear seconds later as fragments outracing the dust cloud.
• Rapid degradation of structure
Features of the onset of both collapses indicate that structures around and above the crash zones lost almost all their strength. In the South Tower, the top not only tips, it bends: The outer wall exhibits a peculiar curve extending about 15 floors above the crash zone. Similarly, in the North Tower, the top begins to telescope straight down with no evidence of bucking in the perimeter columns. In both cases the structure's strength seems to disappear even before any of the explosive features appear.
• Uniformity of pulverization
Photographs and reports from Ground Zero indicate that the vast majority of the estimated 90,000 tons of concrete in each Tower was turned to fine dust, not a mixture of dust and gravel or larger chunks. Since blast pressures from explosive charges fall off with the square of the distance from the source, achieving such thorough pulverization with distributed explosives would seem to have required a huge number of individual packages being placed throughout the building.
• Vaporization of people
Over 1000 victims were never identified despite over a year of efforts to identify victims from even the smallest fragments using DNA. Explosive charges would be unlikely to so thoroughly degrade the remains of so many people.
• Persistence of core structures
In both collapses, a large section of the core structure extending up over 600 feet remains standing for a few seconds and then collapses. The persistent remnant of the North Tower is very narrow and delicate. It is difficult to imagine how such structures could have survived the blast pressures generated by demolition waves of explosive charges, only to themselves collapse a few seconds later.
• Rapid oxidation and intergranular melting of steel pieces
The limited metallurgical examination of some of the few pieces of structural steel that escaped the blast furnaces shows very peculiar features, such as rapid oxidation turning inch-thick steel into paper-thin scrolled pieces, cavitation giving steel the appearance of Swiss cheese, and intragranular melting. These suggest a more exotic process of destruction than mere explosives.

Anyone and everyone can see that spire going straight down and the dust that was on it hangs in the air and blows away. This has been discussed ad-nauseum on this forum.

Appendix C
A one-inch column has been reduced to half-inch thickness. Its edges--which are curled like a paper scroll--have been thinned to almost razor sharpness. Gaping holes--some larger than a silver dollar--let light shine through a formerly solid steel flange. This Swiss cheese appearance shocked all of the fire-wise professors, who expected to see distortion and bending--but not holes.
Evidence of a severe high temperature corrosion attack on the steel, including oxidation and sulfidation with subsequent intergranular melting, was readily visible in the near-surface microstructure. A liquid eutectic mixture containing primarily iron, oxygen, and sulfur formed during this hot corrosion attack on the steel.
...
The thinning of the steel occurred by high temperature corrosion due to a combination of oxidation and sulfidation.
...
The unusual thinning of the member is most likely due to an attack of the steel by grain boundary penetration of sulfur forming sulfides that contain both iron and copper.
Wiki
A mixture of thermite and sulfur produces thermate which lowers the melting point of the iron it contacts when reacting by forming a eutectic system. This is useful in cutting through steel.

Anyone and everyone can see as clearly as possible that that spire falls directly straight down leaving the dust that was on it in the air. If you can't see that, then you either need:
1.) A bigger monitor.
2.) Glasses (or a stronger prescription).
3.) Help.
And that brings me back to my previous comment: You're seeing only what you want to see.

Dr Judy Wood Phd talks about her new book "Where did the Towers Go?" Jeff Rense is quite receptive to her extraordinary evidence revealing how the World Trade Center Towers on 9/11 were demolished.
And Dr Judy Wood does not believe thermite or Nukes brought the towers down.

Mr. Humenn gives us quite a unique perspective inside the elevator shafts in the twin towers and how access to the core columns could have been gained.
This is raw footage from one of the experts appearing in our upcoming, hard-hitting documentary of evidence for the destruction of the 3 World trade Center skyscrapers -- "9/11: Explosive Evidence -- Experts Speak Out"
I think Dr. Wood has done an exhaustive job researching these weapons and the book is apparently very well documented with tons of specifics.

There is evidence to suggest that Dr. Judy Wood has been "installed" into a position, or in actuality paid, to purposely and deliberately peddle the disinformation of energy weapons destroying the towers on 9/11. Nowhere in the 9/11 Truth Movement is her "work" accepted, or given any credibility whatsoever.
I would like to direct those in seeking the real truth, as opposed to a one-sided "truth", to visit my thread below to view a handful of many critiques and debunkings of Judy Wood's "work":
DEW/Energy Weapons? Holograms? TV Fakery? No Planes at the WTC? -- A 9/11 Disinfo Campaign
Now, I'd like to direct everyone to an interview of Dr. Judy Wood by Dr. Greg Jenkins (PhD in Physics). From this interview, we can deduce that Judy Wood's "work" is not hers or her own. She cannot quote any of her numbers or calculations. In fact, she doesn't even know what she's talking about at all when it comes to physics:
Google Video Link
It is more than abundantly clear that Judy Wood was "given" this "work" to peddle as a plausible theory on what happened to the towers on 9/11. And solely to discredit the 9/11 Truth Movement, or make the Movement look ridiculously nutty so that people won't even consider other theories proposed either.
Without "her" numbers, calculations, or theories in front of her to read off of, she's just a plain Jane who hasn't the slightest idea of what she's saying, nor the most simple knowledge of physics.

Yes reams and reams of paper were found throughout. Did these papers all come from offices in the WTC? From the multitude of file cabinets?But there were no file cabinets found in the rubble. Well there was just one found. Here is its picture.Where are all the other file cabinets? Could it be that the steel cabinets turned to dust thereby freeing the papers to scatter in the wind?
Perhaps interesting for some here who want to look into all possible options for what could have been the real cause for why the towers did collapsed the way they did and why most of the different kind of building materials were pulverized into dust except as it looks for the most fragile of it all, paper.

No sane, logical, educated person can watch that video and agree that Judy Wood knows what she's talking about. I've seen non-college educated individuals discuss science in a better manner than this.

Furthermore, posters who regularly make negative universal statements directed at the same individual look like they are promoting an agenda, not a debate.
leostokes
"Dr. Judy Wood does not know what she is talking about" is false. She earned a doctor's degree from a major engineering university. She earned a position on the faculty of a university.
leostokes
She has clearly impressed many sane, logical educated persons.

A lot of people see what you see and agree with you. But, a lot of others see "dustification".
