These youtube debunkers speculate more than the truthers, they present theories that is not seen in the official reports, wtf.......
youtube debunkers make up theories behind their computers, lol

You claim that debris from the towers "scooped out" 25% of the building. Please provide some evidence to back up this claim.
I actually did better... I provided a link to a website which has several photos of what could be seen of the damage to WTC7, as well as the report that 25% of the tower was scooped out by the falling debris...

A plane is not a projectile weapon. Comparing it to a bullet is utterly retarded. The parts of the plane with the most penetrating potential are the engines and they are on the wings. The fuselage would have crumbled like an accordion the moment it impacted the steel structure of the building. The wings themselves would have sheered off. The only thing that would have been able to penetrate the buildings effectively are the engines.
These are facts, that are relevant.
Try it.
Not really...
Scientists actually made a simulation of the damage more or less the planes would have done to each tower
Here it is again.

There is no such photo. However there is make believe photos that show no gash but plenty of smoke and shadows. There is no evidence.

these theories, like 25% scooped out in WTC 7, are not in the NIST report, or the FEMA report, or the 911 comission report.

I went to your link. I did not find any "scientific technical papers written by experts on the topic". Can you tell me where they are located on the page. The "Ban DMHO" group has more scientific technical papers on the dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide than Gage has for Controlled Demolition.
For those who don't know Dihydrogen Monoxide Is the major chemical component found in Chemtrails.

Wow...well perhaps if you actually CHECKED before you CLAIMED people are making things up you wouldn't look like you just swallowed both your feet?...

Did debris from the collapse of WTC 1 cause damage to WTC 7's structure in a way that contributed to the building's collapse?
The debris caused structural damage to the southwest region of the building-severing seven exterior columns-but this structural damage did not initiate the collapse. The fires initiated by the debris, rather than the structural damage that resulted from the impacts, initiated the building's collapse after the fires grew and spread to the northeast region after several hours. The debris impact caused no damage to the spray-applied fire resistive material that was applied to the steel columns, girders, and beams except in the immediate vicinity of the severed columns. The debris impact damage did play a secondary role in the last stages of the collapse sequence, where the exterior façade buckled at the lower floors where the impact damage was located. A separate analysis showed that even without the structural damage due to debris impact, WTC 7 would have collapsed in fires similar to those that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001. None of the large pieces of debris from WTC 2 (the south tower) hit WTC 7 because of the large distance between the two buildings.
Would WTC 7 have collapsed even if there had been no structural damage induced by the collapse of the WTC towers?
Yes. Even without the structural damage, WTC 7 would have collapsed from the fires that the debris initiated. The growth and spread of the lower-floor fires due to the loss of water supply to the sprinklers from the city mains was enough to initiate the collapse of the entire building due to buckling of a critical column in the northeast region of the building.

Well, while my head is quite hard the ratio of brick weight to cranial resistance is not indicative of collapsing tower weight to undamaged lower floor resistance.

I am not claiming they were in complete free fall. That would be impossible, because there was in fact, undamaged levels below the collapse sight. I am claiming that the falling floors would be deviated from the path that they in fact fell in.
In order for the building to fall into it's footprint, there would have to be little to no resistance from the undamaged floors beneath the collapse start point.
Don't show these goons the photos. They can find then by searching Google images. I just found some myself. The corner if the building is severely damaged to the point where the whole side is tilting. Good night!
WTC 3 was also known as the World Trade Center Hotel, the New York Marriott Hotel, and the Vista Hotel. It was almost completely destroyed in the 9/11/01 attack. Like all of the World Trade Center buildings, it was a steel-framed building. It had 22 stories above grade and six stories below grade. It stood immediately south of the North Tower and west of the South Tower.
Rubble from the South Tower rains on WTC 3. See photographs.
Evacuation
Evacuation of WTC 3 began shortly after the 8:46 jetliner collision with the North Tower, which apparently ignited fires on the hotel's roof. Building occupants were first directed to the hotel lobby, then instructed to evacuate the building. According to FEMA's Report, all of the guests were evacuated but two members of the hotel management team who had re-entered the building to check for occupants were killed when the South Tower collapsed.
Damage
WTC 3 was first partially crushed by the steel skeleton fragments from the South Tower and then further crushed by those from the North Tower. In each case the rubble, falling from as much as 1300 feet, collapsed regions spanning several floors but was arrested by the building's steel structure. This behavior contrasts with the officially accepted story that progressive collapse entirely destroyed each Tower.
Fires
There is not much evidence of fires in WTC 3. That contrasts with WTC 4, 5, and 6, each of which had severe fires.
Destruction
The remainder of WTC 3 was demolished and removed as part of the clean-up of Ground Zero.
