I don't accept that the laws of physics WERE suspended. Neither do MANY, MANY structural engineers that viewed the collapse as I did all over the world. Once the weight of three or four floors was falling, the rest would have provided almost no resistance. The edges of the floor trusses were connected with fairly weak clips, more than sufficient to hold THAT floor, but little else. I'm satisfied by what I saw, and the conventional explanation.
