Much like when a blackbelt "chops" 5 or 6 cinder bricks. Too little momentum (mass times velocity squared), and the first one rebuts his entire effort, possibly breaking his hand. If he can up the velocity enough, and stiffen his hand so that the entire momentum is transferred in as small an impulse as possible, and the first brick simply snaps. And if he snaps it quickly enough, crash on through the rest. But it doesn't explain the dust puffing out of the ground floors immediately following a very large explosion sound about 9 seconds before the WC1 collapse. Probably just the ground floors anticipating the collapse... I've never had any doubt that WC7 was demolished with explosives. What a coincidence to be in a position to do that on sept 11th since I think it takes quite some time to set up that sort of demolition. I thought I heard on the radio on 9-11 that they would take down WC7 because it was deemed "unstable" -- I was really surprised when they brought it down that day however... I thought it would be a week or 10 days later because of the need to plan and set explosives.
