I think the following quote from the article you posted is apropos:

>>>But Guy F. Tozzoli, the physicist-engineer who headed overall development of the World Trade Center throughout its construction and remained there until 1987, says asbestos was only used in the first 39 floors of the Tower One, the first building struck Tuesday and the second one to fall. After that, other materials were used at an additional cost of over $400,000, he says. “There was no asbestos used anywhere else in the buildings,” says Tozzoli, who currently is president of the World Trade Center Association. Subsequently, the asbestos was encapsulated in a honeycomb of plastic, and in the early ’80s, after a “fastidious, painstaking process,” it was entirely removed, he says. “If they are finding asbestos in the ash, it is not coming from us.” <<<<

Did you read the entire article? Or are you simply looking for ammunition to support your metaphysically certain views? Given Tozzoli's statements, are you prepared to jump to conclusions and state for a certainty that the source of the asbestos was undisputably the WTC?

I'm only interested in determining if anything might have delayed the collapse of the towers, i.e, prevented the sudden structural collapse resulting from the heat of the jet fuel which ignited upon impact.

Hardly the last word. But you can still have it.
