So what exactly do you believe can "pulverize" 3 steel/concrete towers weighting 1200 ton? (and what if I assert that it can't, would you swallow that?)

Really? Can you list them? Where are the truthers?
Flight 93 - I know of not a single person that was at the Shanksville crash sight that does not believe Flight 93 crashed there.
Flight 77 - Not a single witness to the crash has come forward and stated that flight 77 did not strike the Pentagon. As far as I know, only April Gallop is a truther that was at the Pentagon.
Flights 11 and 175 - One FDNY firefighter is a truther - his name escapes me. There was also that other guy "McPadden" who heard the "countdown" on the Red Cross radio.
Perhaps you know of some people that were there and believe that the collapses of 1,2 and 7 were controlled demolitions?

You don't want to think for yourself , you let other do that for you. Get it?
Perfect example is you posting material from Blanchard. You don't even know the dude. But you googled the jackass and it benefited your agenda. Get it?
And yes ,if you learn high-rise construction it will ALL become clear to you. Get it?
You're welcome . Now copy 'n paste my signature to Blanchard and ask him to debunk it.
Its obvious you can't.
Carry on
It's possible that you might also be "deaf dumb". In order to investigate this, do the following:
Look up the Dunning–Kruger effect (since you imply that you have "learned high-rise construction".
Then learn something about the Overconfidence effect.
Next, study up on what a Credible witness is (e.g., FDNY fire officers).
Finally get some feedback on your signature (which you keep referring to) from people who are unbiased and reasonably intelligent and see if my hunch is correct that they will also find it sophomoric, meaningless, and totally irrelevant.

You think that fire officials predicted the collapse based on their personal assessment of the damage? While NIST and so many others couldn't decide on what caused the collapse, after years of analyzing all the data??
Sorry, my fault for taking their own testimonies seriously.
1) Fire Chief Frank Fellini: "The major concern at that time at that particular location was number Seven, building number seven, which had taken a big hit from the north tower. ... We were concerned that the fires on several floors and the missing steel would result in the building collapsing. So for the next five or six hours we kept firefighters from working anywhere near that building, which included the whole north side of the World Trade Center complex. Eventually around 5:00 or a little after, building number seven came down." (Interview, 12/3/2001)
2) Fire Chief Daniel Nigro: "The biggest decision we had to make on the first day was to clear the area and create a collapse zone around the severely damaged 7 World Trade Center, a 47-story building heavily involved in fire. A number of fire officers and companies assessed the damage to the building. The appraisals indicated that the building's integrity was in serious doubt. I issued the orders to pull back the firefighters and define the collapse zone. It was a critical decision; we could not lose any more firefighters. It took a lot of time to pull everyone out, given the emotionalism of the day, communications difficulties, and the collapse terrain." (Daniel Nigro, "Report from the Chief of Department," Fire Engineering, 9/2002)
Daniel Nigro (in another account): "I ordered the evacuation of an area sufficient around to protect our members, so we had to give up some rescue operations that were going on at the time and back the people away far enough so that if 7 World Trade did collapse, we wouldn't lose any more people. We continued to operate on what we could from that distance and approximately an hour and a half after that order was given, at 5:30 in the afternoon, 7 World Trade Center collapsed completely." (Interview, 10/24/2001)
3) Fire Chief Frank Cruthers: "Early on, there was concern that 7 World Trade Center might have been both impacted by the collapsing tower and had several fires in it and there was a concern that it might collapse. So we instructed that a collapse area ... be set up and maintained so that when the expected collapse of 7 happened, we wouldn't have people working in it." (Interview, 10/31/2001)
Frank Cruthers (in another account): "Of primary importance early on in the operation was the structural condition of 7 World Trade Center. Assistant Chief Frank Fellini had been approached by several chiefs who were concerned about its stability. It had been heavily damaged in the collapse and was well-involved in fire. Chief Fellini had looked at it and described to us some damage to its south side; he felt that structural components of the building had been comprised. So when Chief Dan Nigro arrived at the command post, he convened a meeting of staff chiefs, and this was a major subject of the meeting. We were all in accord about the danger of 7 WTC, and we all agreed that it was not too conservative of a decision to establish a collapse zone for that building, move the firefighters out of the collapse area, and maintain that strategy." (Frank Cruthers, "Postcollapse Command," Fire Engineering, 9/2002)
4) Fire Captain Ray Goldbach: "There was a big discussion going on at that point about pulling all of our units out of 7 World Trade Center. Chief Nigro didn't feel it was worth taking the slightest chance of somebody else getting injured. So at that point we made a decision to take all of our units out of 7 World Trade Center because there was a potential for collapse. ... Made the decision to back everybody away, took all the units and moved them all the way back toward North End Avenue, which is as far I guess west as you could get on Vesey Street, to keep them out of the way." (Interview, 10/24/2001)

First ,its not 1200tons.. ITS 1,200,000TONS OF MILD STEEL/REINFORCED CONCRETE.
It would have to be a steel dense object or re-concrete(not aluminum obviuosly), charges (explosives) or nuclear. If you have time and money build a steel high rise and try any of the three or send a 767 (again) and see what happens.
In regards to weight , it depends how quickly you want to pulverize(SORRY DESTROY) it. If its a demo wrecking ball(lol) you'll need some massive balls. If Its explosives(nuclear or charges or whatever) you'll accomplish the demo in one quick swoop(especially when the economic/safety factor isnt necssary). If its a plane(s) , it would need to impact the lower floors of the tower... TIMBER!
Get it?
Your question is a gotcha question. Pointless and irrelevant; Unless your planning on doing a sound study. Oh ,, I forgot NIST did that already.
Honestly ,try debunking my signature without desperately derailing it. Meaning don't answer with a question.
And if you are going to "assert it can't". You better back it up. FYI,,,Posting some article is not backing it up. I can do the same and will end up staging a pissing match. Which is probably your intentions. At the end of the day you're incapable of debunking my simple signature.
Carry on commoner

Whatever word you want to use. Destroy or Pulverize . Pick your poison sunny boy.
Who cares how many explosives were involved. Do you? Are you planning on destroying/demo/pulverize the Sears Tower? What does it prove if I give you an exact # of explosives(or weight). Your point?
I really have no idea how much explosives were used. Understand, the demolition industry always takes into account the economic/safety impact. Which in 911's case there was neither. So estimating the # of charges or explosives or both , is desperate. Which you are...
My signature is factual!! When something is factual ,it doesn't need any backing. Debunk the facts!
Prove somehow a weaker material(object A ),that's 0.03% in size -when- compared to the stronger material(object B).
392tons(0.03%) demolished 1,200,000tons(100%)
Look at those #'s . Just think how stupid you OSers are.

Personal attacks won't change the fact that as soon as I click on the little cross in the upper right corner of my screen, 911 truth disappears entirely. But have fun believing otherwise.

How much did the buildings weigh ABOVE the impact zones? Because that weight contributed to the demise of the Towers as well.
