Searle, Re: Anyway, what do you think accounts for what happened to these four inch thick, central steel "columns"? It seems all that steel broke up into small fragments. Good question. I have rejected the "pancake" theory for the demolition because if that were the case, we should have seen something similar to the effect that we know from our youth where phonograph records slide down a central spindle to the turntable. Cf.: tinyurl.com In the pancake theory, basic laws of physics had to be disregarded. Such as the fact that the central core of the WTC towers was heavily cross-braced and designed to carry dramatically more load than the barjoist connectors which attached the floors to the columns. It is these bar joist connectors which should have failed, leaving the central core columns intact as the "pancaked" floors collapsed around the central core columns. I've been doing some reading just now and I re-examined the PBS Nova website's explanation of the collapse, and I've just read a science journal article by an expert from MIT that Nova relied upon: pbs.org tms.org Neither Nova nor the Eager article explain the failure of the central core columns to my satisfaction.
