oh you piece of /.... that is pure fantasy and a insult to common sense. 50% is/might be possible, however only if the heat source is centered at one point. Office fires wont do that, they never did and they never will. Stop spreading myths.
Nobody said it was JUST the office fires that did it ,use some common sense will you? Unlike most office fires, the crashes piled debris against the furthest walls and corners, providing fuel for the persistent fires right at the most vunerable points of the building. And like someone already mentioned if you know anything about the structural design of the building it becomes musch easier to understand.

There are three shills on top of the OP on this disinfo campaign. You know who they are..

The NIST report was only up to the collapse initiation. You know this you have been around a long time.
The missing truss seats are an obvious sign of progressive collapse.
Explain the missing truss seats in detail Truther.
NIST’s findings do not support the “pancake theory” of collapse, which is premised on a progressive failure of the floor systems in the WTC towers (the composite floor system—that connected the core columns and the perimeter columns—consisted of a grid of steel “trusses” integrated with a concrete slab; see diagram below). Instead, the NIST investigation showed conclusively that the failure of the inwardly bowed perimeter columns initiated collapse and that the occurrence of this inward bowing required the sagging floors to remain connected to the columns and pull the columns inwards. Thus, the floors did not fail progressively to cause a pancaking phenomenon.

I aaure you if I am a shill, I am the brokest ever.
I am a peson that likes the facts. not made up unrealistic jargon thrown together for someones delight.
If this is as intelligent as your comments get..... I can see why you believe what you do.
The shill argument always comes out when the person making the claims is all out of ammo.
Have a nice day troll.
Just more idiocy.
Not enough heat, not enough structural damage to cause what you trying to make us believe. Get another job, try to serve the truth for once.

I really don't see your point here?
The core held the majority of the weight, the outer walls provided stability and allowed it to sway. That link you provided from wiki is incorrect.
But regardless there is no evidence of pancaking, are you still insisting that happened when NIST themselves rejected that hypothesis? A lot of people fell for that at first, but most realised years ago, including NIST, that pancake collapse was not the answer.
You're a lying junkie just as your username tells us. Does the state pay your fix?

I have taken metallurgy. Heat excites the atoms in steel. This makes the atoms vibrate at an increased speed. Which in turn makes the Space Lattuce Structure of the steel become unstable. Which can lead to fatigue, hairline fractures, and or complete failure of the structure or steel under load.
Look up load, weigh, heat, and steel. See how they all come together.
It does not take alot of heat to do this. You have no idea what you are talkinbg about and your unfounded attacks on the op make you look silly.edit on 18-6-2011 by liejunkie01 because: spelling

This is the last time I will give any amount of time from me.
It is obvious what you are and what you are about. Ignorance knows no boundaries and you are definitely there. And I even hate to use the word ignorant. But that is what your posts are.
You bring no value to any discussion above and your attitude is inexcusable...
Now ecuse me, I have to get my fix...........of nicotine..............
Troll.

I called my theory on how the towers fell a progressive/pancake collapse but I meant the mass from the above floors gained momentum and force from gravity, and amcumilated mass from the debris causing the tower to collapse "progressively" in a pancake like fashion but not each floor pancaking like the pancake theory suggests. It is true that the NIST report does not support the pancake theory but it refutes the controlled demolition theory even more. Check this page out.

I don't think you have even taken the physics 101 let alone the metallurgy "junkey".
You are a shill.

NIST rejected pancaking for collapse initiation because it was obvious the exterior walls were pulled in by sagging trusses. After the columns failed nothing else needed to fail under compression only sheer. One floor collapsed on to the next shearing off the truss seats and pancaking al the way to the ground,
Once again. Explain the missing truss seats Truther.
