leaving 240 intact fireproofed vertical support remaining....
What supports were those....?
The fireproofing was knocked off the support columns by the aircraft impact
Unless you are claiming that the fireproofing can resist the impact of an aircraft at 500 mph and the blizzard
of secondary missiles from the impact
The fireprrofing was very friable and frequently dislodged by building motions from the wind - every spring had
to reappply fireproofing which had come off by the building being rocked back and forth by wind from winter
storms

I apologise, however, considering that MSM constantly said "cell phone" when talking about the calls made from passengers, is it that hard to believe that people still believe that. Either way, that doesn't explain a perfect demolition style implosion of the towers and building 7. I know it's hard to believe that the government would do something like that, I still have trouble with it myself. All we want are answers that make sense.

There was nothing "perfect" about any of the three buildings that came down that day. They ALL damaged every building around them....some badly enough that they had to be torn down. Controlled demolitions, do not do that.

The second tower, falling first, is just confirmation that there was not a controlled demolition. Think about it. The second tower was hit much lower than the first tower. There were hundred of tons more weight stressing the structure of the second tower. It fell first.

The collapses, above the impact zones were different. Below the impact zones....same construction, same materials, why wouldn't they fall the same?

I ordered the DVD and just saw the movie. Here is my review posted on the IMDB message board for the film:
* Warning: May contain a few spoilers. *
I ordered the DVD and just saw it.
Not bad. Very interesting. But at 90 minutes, it felt rushed. A lot more things could have been expanded upon and developed more.
I'm also disappointed that they weren't able to use real stock footage from the news broadcasts from 9/11, probably due to legal reasons.
I don't understand some of the plot though. So those black drone planes replaced the real flights? What happened to the real flights then? We saw what happened to the passengers of one flight. But what about the other three?
* Warning: Spoilers *
It also seems far fetched that they would put all those involved in the remote controlled planes project onto one plane without everyone getting suspicious. Immediately, they would have deduced that they were going to be disposed of. Yet only one guy found it odd, but did nothing.
I didn't understand the plot behind Flight 93 though. Why were they going to crash it into that hole? What would be the point of that? I thought it was supposed to hit Building 7? They should have went with that plot instead.
Also, it was not explained why they wanted to take down Building 7. Did I miss it?
Why did the guy who detonated the WTC want to detonate early without receiving the order? That wasn't explained. Was he supposed to wait for the building to be evacuated first?
I'm also not clear which character played George W. Bush and which played Larry Silverstein. Their names weren't used so it wasn't clear who was playing them.
The film also has some minor bugs. The words describing the time and location at the bottom were too small, smaller than they are supposed to be in movies. The ending credits were also too small too. And the DVD menu was weird. You could barely see the yellow selector line, it was broken and uneven and vanished under certain chapters.
It was obvious that this was made on a low and limited budget with many restrictions. I wish someone like Oliver Stone would make this. It should be at least 2 hours too, so more details could be developed and explained.
But it's a good film nonetheless, even though it felt rushed. The directors and actors must have had a lot of guts to be willing to do a film like this regardless of the consequences.
It's a pity the mainstream media and movie critics don't want to acknowledge the existence of this film.
