You really ought to be looking for better, more honest sources, IMHO. I doubt it -g- and a Ryder rental truck's cargo capacity is on the order of 20 tons, at most. and yeah, just that amount that blew away a Fed building. /edit check though. I have not yet repeated Raymonds calculations though or found the technical resources to check the calculations. Hey! I worked with MIT types. If I ever was put in charge of a "black op" MIT undergraduates would be one of my first recruiting drive targets -g- Even I, with little technical knowledge of structural engineering though would like to make a few comments. (1) Those minor explosions you see in the WTC collapse are real. Even I have watched the results of a failure test of a strong material or structure. Those events do not end with a whimper. Huge waves of gravity induced compressional stress, way above designed parameters, will result in the same small explosions at various points where the stress waves converge imho. (2) controlled demolition Really. The most reasonable explanation is controlled demolition Of whose argument? Mine or yours?
