Why no comment ANOK after all you said no pancaked floors?

dismiss information that does not support your position.
Where is a video that shows these connections breaking? How can they be seen from outside of the building?

When are you going to demonstrate that sagging trusses can pull in the columns? Because with out that stacks of floors is irrelevant.

Are you trolling or something? They are meant to hold themselves up while the floors above are not FALLING. Does that even register in your brain?.

We are getting back to that FLOORS versus LEVELS again.
Are you talking about the FLOORS outside the core that are held up by being attached to the core and perimeter.
When you talk about the top 14 stories falling are you saying the weight from the core is falling on the FLOORS outside the core?
That LEVELS versus FLOORS distinction is important. The building is held up by the LEVELS not the FLOORS. But then some people want that confusion maintained.

The weight of the core with the floors above the impact zone was part of the falling mass, while the majority of the falling added weight after that was the floors outside the core, as evidenced by the standing core columns after the collapse completed.
That's what I'm talking about.

But that mass had to come down on the stationary core below.
How could it do otherwise?

It wasn't a big, unbreakable block, so it most likely broke into pieces around the stationary core, which was much stronger than the surrounding trusses. More than likely, the debris took the path of least resistance and collapsed around the core instead of crushing through it for no reason.
That's why I always contest your model. It is only useful if you think the core columns are crushing against each other, and nothing else. Considering that bolts and welds can bend and break, I don't see why the debris would do that. The truss seats are far weaker, and provide a wide area for the debris to add weight to and break and fall.
Review of video tape recordings of the collapse TAKEN FROM VARIOUS ANGLES indicates that the transmission tower on top of the structure began to move downward and laterally slightly before movement was evident at the exterior wall. This suggests that the collapse began with one or more failures in the central core area of the building. PDF page 27.

But everyone knows that the core collapsed first on the north tower because of the fall of the antenna.

Thanks for avoiding referencing anything else I said. Do you know what happens when the core collapsed at the impact point? (I'm going to try to tell you this like you were 5 years old)
The core material didn't just vanish and then crush down on the other core columns. No, teehee, that would be silly! The bolts and connections bent and broke, collapsing it next to the core columns for the most part. When the trusses started landing on other trusses, the collapse really took off. That's why you can still see the core columns STANDING after the collapse. Will you ever admit that the core survived the collapse?

You have this on video? What happened to all of the horizontal beams connecting the core columns?
So you can make stuff up and imply I said things I didn't. I am impressed.
I said the core came down on the core. I did not say columns came down on columns. teehee

You didn't even mention anything I talked about in my post. Why do you even post here if you don't add anything to the discussion?

So why should I give a damn about your talking about bolts when it is something out of your head. Just like vertical on vertical collapse. You talk nonsense and then expect a response like it was intelligent.
