No matter what it displays an obvious lack of scientific curiosity. For whatever reason. The most amazing thing about 9/11 is how the top of the south tower tilted 22+ degrees in a couple of second 50 minutes after the building stopped vibrating from the plane impact. That required the bottom of the upper broken portion to move horizontally 20 feet and yet the plane impact only moved the building 15 inches.

If you ACTUALLY watch the videos psikey you can see what happens when the collapse starts watch .
The reason it rotates is the bulk of the damage is at the impact side obviously and because the sides and elevation at the opposite side provide resistance it rotates
Have you ever played JENGA take some of the blocks away half way up on one side what happens to the blocks above (scientific curiosity) You have shown that you get lots of things WRONG take your washer paper tube model for example!
The bottom of the upper block moved SIDEWAYS. Rotating would mean all of the columns would have to break for the bottom to move sideways.

No the way I see it is that the corner collapsed setting off the chain reaction.

That's not the same as the bottom moving sideways.
Most unfortunately NIST is not consistent in its reporting of the tilting of WTC 2 prior to collapse. Thus in the NIST Final Report we read in reference to WTC 2 just before global collapse:
“The entire section of the building above the impact zone…began tilting as a rigid block about 7° - 8° to the east and about 3° - 4° to the south. …. The building section above impact continued to rotate to the east as it began to fall downward, and rotated to at least 20 to 25 degrees.”
However, in another Section of the NIST Report, called Observations and Timeline of Structural Events, we read in reference to WTC 2, (See item 11 of Table 6-2):
“The building section above the impact area tilted to the east and south. …. Rotation of approximately 4 to 5 degrees to the south and 20 to 25 degrees to the east occurred before the building section begins to fall vertically.”
Thus we see NIST claiming, on the one hand, that WTC 2 “rotated 20 to 25 degrees AS it began to fall”, while on the other hand claiming elsewhere that WTC 2 “rotated 20 to 25 degrees BEFORE it began to fall.”

The height of the debris pile was reported as 5 stories high.
Plus there were several floors including a mall, below ground level.
Lest we forget it also had a 65 foot high public lobby before higher ‘floors’ even began.
Thats a lot of room for debris.
Hmmmmmm 5 stories, 5 floors? LOL 110 floors all crushed down to 65 ft?
If all the floors were crushed to that height you still have a serious physics problem with the collapses. What crushed all those floors?
Don't forget to address the equal opposite reaction law in your answer. The floors can not crush themselves. If they could then demonstrate it, use concrete slabs, and see if you can make them all crush themselves.

22,000 gallons of jet fuel cannot disintegrate 500,000(the weight of each tower) tons of concrete and mild steel including building 7. It just doesn't happen that way.
And the shock wave impact or any damage from the planes entry did nothing to the result of the collapse. If that was the case the Japanese would have won the pacific with there Kamikaze tactics.

I suggest you truly inform yourself with construction/design and structural/civil engineering knowledge. Once you do. You'll understand.

Once I get home, I'll scale the width of the tower and show all of my work. I'll even try to find a clearer video.

A very good suggestion, because both the "truth" movement and Star Trek are not based in any reality, they are just a sci-fi fantasy
9/11 is the Piltdown Man incident of the 20th century.
It is really funny for politicians to talk about STEM. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
After TEN YEARS we don't even have a table specifying the tons of steel on every level.
9/11 is a pretty minor issue actually.
42 years after the Moon landing and our economists can't talk about the planned obsolescence of automobiles and say how much we lose on the depreciation of that junk every year.
I tried to get a PhD economist to explain how a piston engine worked once.
He couldn't do it.
If a man does not understand enough physics to explain why it is ridiculous to think an airliner could destroy a skyscraper in two hours I sure as hell don't care what he thinks of any automobile.
DUH, what's a cam shaft?

I am simply aghast that an economist didn't know anything about mechanical engineering. The big question is why would you ever assume that an economist would understand?

Actually I am surprised he could drive. He did own a car.
He said nothing when I pointed out that the economics profession had its algebra wrong.
www.spectacle.org...
That was written before 9/11. 12 years and the algebra is still wrong.
Apparently you can type. Such a pity that is all you can do.
