Even if the floors "pancaked," the central core of steel should have been left standing, with the floors plopping down like records on the spindle of a record-changer.

Instead, the hundreds of feet of steel box girders, which were strong enough to support the weight of the entire structures were all snapped in pieces just the right size to fit on the flatbed trucks of Controlled Demolition Inc., who started hauling them away on Sept 12, much to the displeasure of FDNY arson investigators, who were denied access to the scene.

And of course, WTC7, which had traditional steel frame construction, collapsed into its own footprint in sympathy.
