My personal favorite is how air compressed by the collapse caused concrete to be pulverized and ejected at high velocity 15 stories ahead of the progression of the collapse, in sequence, all the way down the buildings. As Baby Huey used to say, "Duh, that sounds logical.".

And that pancake premise flies right in the face of NIST's conclusions that floors did not fail. The say the floors stayed attached to columns, and the pulling in of the sagging floors buckled the columns.

Looks like PM will now have to debunk NIST.

The problem with your thinking on this is that you are wrong, the material ejected was at the point of the collapse, NOT 15 stories ahead of the collapse. I don't know what video you are looking at, but you ought to look a bit closer, use your brain and figure out for yourself that the point of collapse (inside the perimeter columns) is exactly where the material is being ejected.
