Rock_nj > If the buildings fell in the same time frame and manner, the similiarities would be noteworthy. Yes, that's true but one has to bear in mind that the buildings were completely different in size, shape and probably in construction. As you know, WTC7 was on the opposite side of North Street from the actual WTC complex so it wasn't really a part of the center, it was just added on, so to speak. > The resistence caused by the crumbling building infrastructure would surely slow down the collapse of the building well beyond the time gravity could pull something down from the same distance Yes, that's the argument but, other than the steel central columns and the outer steel framework, there was no infrastructure to speak of. So, basically, all it would have required to destroy the building was to destroy the functionality of the central columns and the buildings would have fallen down. But that's not all that happened. There's no doubt that the steel columns were smashed up, that's a fact, but what else we see is that most of everything else in and of the buildings turned into a very fine dust. Furthermore, the destruction of the buildings was accompanied by an enormous heat wave which flowed down all the surrounding streets chasing people as it went and choking them in the dust. So, what we are looking at is not just the collapse or destruction of WTC1 and 2 but their complete disintegration -- and in the air as they stood. As far as I am concerned, it is the total disintegration of the buildings which points unambiguously to the use of explosives because it could not have come about in any other way.
