Yes it could have collapsed, but it would not have collapsed so fast and so perfectly like that,

It seems to me that the OP has proven it wasn't a controlled demolition.
From his own example, he states how impossible it is to create a freefall into the buildings own footprint. If even professional demolition people can't do this with all the time in the world and in total public view, how would you expect a bunch of guys sneaking around during the early morning hours to wire a 100% perfect demolition?
You wouldn't.
Therefore the only explanation left is that it was a freak of nature, not a controlled demolition.

Well, according to NIST, the explosives would have only needed to dislodge one specific girder to bring the whole of WTC7 down like a house of cards, so it's not like the building would have had explosives spread about everywhere. Same with WTC1 and 2. If NIST can claim both buildings could collapse due to fire damage and structural failure from the plane impacts, they have to acknowledge that it wouldn't have taken a lot of explosives to give the buildings a bit of persuasion to drop sooner, rather than later.
edit on 2-6-2013 by IvanAstikov because: (no reason given)
If you are going to believe NIST's conclusions, then why would you believe in explosives at all? They are not needed in their hypothesis. One very important reason people believe in explosives is because "it could not have happened like that, the buildings would have offered way too much resistance". And in order to overcome this resistance, you need many strategically placed explosives.

It doesn't help that the first three buildings to ever collapse due to fire were WTC1, 2 and 7. And I do mean the first to collapse due to "fire" EVER! And yet we get labeled as conspiracy nuts for even daring to question the ridiculously false official story...

Explosive or thermite would also not be able to melt steel two weeks after 911. So that can't be the cause either. Maybe the conclusion is that there was no molten steel.

Some of you have completely missed the point of this OP, re-watch that 40 second video until you get it.
Yes it could have collapsed, but it would not have collapsed so fast and so perfectly like that, that is the whole point of the video, to help you understand how buildings look when the structure is weakened and does collapse.
But to use your tree falling comparison: I know I have felt quite a jolt in my body from a 5-10 ton tree falling in a single thump upon the ground enough to rattle my teeth.

As have I, as it used to be the family business.
Using my comparison is a bad choice on your part-
A)none of the towers fell over like a tree, therefore, no "thump".
B) 1& 2 simply pulverized magically into huge clouds of dust.
9/11 is just like the JFK assassination. No one really gives a hoot anymore.
