''We built in enough redundancy to allow entire portions of floors to be removed without affecting the building's structural integrity, on the assumption that someone might need double-height floors,'' said Larry Silverstein, president of the company. ''Sure enough, Salomon had that need.
Nah I don't think the emotional impact would be "the same".
Agreed, but you could have the same emotional impact if you simply blew up something like the Statue of Liberty, or some other landmark, vs. crippling your OWN economy. That's where it simply doesn't make sense.
The top of the South Tower, on the other hand, falls with an angle of 22* as seen here: How can it crush the building symmetrically if it's falling off center? As seen in the following video, as well as the clip at 1:20:10 in the main video, the damage pattern is symmetrical:

Another interesting fact: Jet-A burns at about 500 degrees. It is nothing more than refined kerosene with dye added for identifying purposes. I've burned kerosene in my home heater for 8 hours and it didn't melt! Funny how that works. Furthermore, jet engines are designed to burn jet fuel at an optimum fuel/air mixture for maximum efficiency. I wonder why the insides of the jet engines don't melt.

Final report by NIST shows 2.25 seconds of free fall published in November, 2008. NIST had to admit it since they were called out on it at their hearing in August, 2008. They only originally said it did not, now they have had to admit the fact based on evidence. Just google the term 'NIST admits free fall'

I quoted the November 2008 NIST report. It says in very plain language that the WTC 7 collapse did not go "from motionless to free fall instantly." The initial stage of the collapse was slower than free fall.
