No. Seriously. We all saw what we saw, and we all read the stories that say we didn't see that because,... and then the science starts. Burn rates, heat of combustion, fall rate, blah, blah. Both more or less plausible. Maybe it is the simple answer; things were what they were and we are nutballs. Or maybe there were back stage misdeeds. So, could what we saw actually happen? How would we test it? Build the building according to specs, fly a plane with the correct fuel load into it. What happens? I don't think it is the kind of thing you could do with computer modeling. Has to be tested in a real setting. Fly a plane into the replicate; does it collapse in 2 hours? Does it collapse at all? We'll never know until we test it. And we will never do that kind of test. Unless we could get Soros to sponsor it. In theory, bumblebees can't fly.
