Yup, it sounded pretty silly to me. Here's a simple test. Get the person who believes in the Divine Wind theory to take a CMU (cement masonry unit, or "cinder block" to the layman) and ask him to hold it over an extended foot in a stiff breeze and drop the damn thing. The Divine Wind theory will not be believed for more than ~10 m/s/s. Take ibuprofen as needed.

You must have a reading comprehension problem. I have explained to you twice now how the falling building could cause beams to be flung. It had nothing to do with the wind coming from the building. The air did push a lot of debris out from the building...see the video. I also explained to you in the original post and in a follow up post how heavy steel pieces would be flung up and out of the building.
