Not true, the antenna fell first.
After the South Tower collapsed, NYPD helicopters relayed information about the deteriorating conditions of the North Tower. At 10:20 a.m., the NYPD aviation unit reported that "the top of the tower might be leaning," and a minute later reported that the North Tower, "is buckling on the southwest corner and leaning to the south". At 10:28 a.m., the aviation unit reported that "the roof is going to come down very shortly." The North Tower collapsed at 10:28 a.m., after burning for 102 minutes.

It's hilarious that the OS-theory believers are continuously brainwashed to think that those buildings, and any other steel-structured highrise, are put together with toothpicks and are ready to crumble at any sign of local damage or collapse.
Steel-structured highrises do not crumble, nor do they completely collapse from fire. Concrete structures crumble. The core columns were assembled with horizontal reinforcements, and in many places had diagonal reinforcements. The cores were a nearly-indestructible fortress of steel.

105 story building, pancaking to the ground, the debris pile must have been huge, maybe 20 or 30 stories high, OH, wait that not how tall debris pile was.
The debris pile was less than 4 stories tall. So, the weight of all that falling debris must have had the force to turn everything to dust, TOO.
Wow, that is really amazing, it goes against all known physics, but wait it is the Government and its lap dogs who are telling me this occurred in this manner so I must not really understand that on 9/11 the world of known physics stopped operating as it always had in the past, and has since.
Satire aside, the facts are, a 105 story building was reduce to dust in freefall speed, which translates to NO Resistance of the mass below.
3000 plus bathrooms, every file cabinet, every wire, everything except the paper was turn to dust in just over one minute.
No matter how many times we see some propaganda simulation, until the facts of how everything turned to dust is addressed it will always be a lie.

It does not show the lower 2/3rds of the building. How is the energy required to crush the lower levels of the building computed? How can that be done without knowing the distribution of steel?
The trouble with a physical model is that it runs on physics instead of data and calculations based on ASSUMPTIONS.
How can a computer model be correct without the data being correct? Where is the data on the horizontal beams in the core all of the way down the building? How much heavier did they get?

Well since the walls were 1360+ feet high and fell/were knocked by the collpase forces and the simple fact that as the concrete of the towers floors was only 41/2 inches thick have you worked out how high the concrete would be if GENTLY laid on top of each other(with no damage) around the 40ft mark. Now since the floors fell from 1360 + feet max with each floor below 12ft less for each floor level what size of pile would you expect to see?edit on 23-10-2011 by wmd_2008 because: (no reason given)

They identified high levels of coarse particles, above, which included powdered concrete and glass with a coating of combustion products, in size range of 5 to 12 micrometers diameter. Very fine particles were found at levels not previously seen in ambient air samples.

More proof that you guys either don't listen, or simply can't comprehend what is being said.
That is not a representation of the towers, it is a representation of the laws of motion.
Laugh on, the ignorant usually do.

You have to know how much pressure the floor trusses, connections etc., could withstand before anyone can claim that the force of the falling floors was enough to cause those connections to fail.
No one has that information, so the OSers have nothing to support their claims at all. They can waffle on all day about how much Pe or Ke the falling floors had, but without knowing how much force the connections could withstand those claims are meaningless.

The floor trusses and connections outside of the core do not explain what happened to the core so I don't pay a great deal attention to them. When has anyone explained how fire could make them all fail simultaneously? When has anyone done an analysis of how the floor slab would tilt if they did not fail simultaneously? The trusses and their connections are just a magical excuse for the people who prefer to believe collapse was possible.
Most of the mass of the buildings came down in less than 18 seconds and that cannot be explained without accounting for whatever happened to the core which should have resisted any downward force.
Even if airliners were responsible for the destruction the physics profession should have been demanding accurate distribution of steel and concrete data on the towers in 2002. Of course they will look ridiculous if they demand it now. But 9/11 has become a scientific travesty no matter what happened. Why can't anybody build a physical model that can completely collapse if 1360 foot buildings supposedly did it? When has any engineering school even discussed trying? When has Purdue explained why the core columns don't move in their impact simulation?
The 9/11 Religion needs to ignore too many facts.

Why would the core stay standing when thousands of tons of material was hitting it on the way down
Your logic beggars belief most of the time ANOK do you think all that collapsing material misses the core?
Oh with regards to the loads most engineers are happy with a 3 times safety factor for structural fixings we know the floor slab weighed around the 700 ton mark how much do you want to add per floor for people desks etc etc if we say 100 ton would be plenty thats now 800 ton safety factor 3 then thats 2400 ton lets round it up to 3000 ton.
Now if 15 floors of concrete fell thats 15x700 = 10500 ton thats just concrete and with no allowance for STEEL or the force generated by an 18mph impact does it really look far fetched NOW!

and pretending that these floors remain parallel in the process.
So every time a floor sheared off that was 350 fewer tons plus the live load that the core would not have to support.
Did these 15 floors detach from the core or did the core come down with them?

Even IF the truss connections all simply failed, as they claim, the core should have stayed standing, thus their reason to need to claim the core could not stand without the floors. A claim there is absolutely no basis for.
Without knowing the pressure the floors trusses, connections, or any of the load bearing structure, could withstand before failure there is no way anyone can claim there was enough weight in a floor to able to collapse another floor, or even fifteen floors causing floors to fail one after another, if you want to follow 'OSer' logic.
