I would just love to see anyone replicate even a model experiment to show what happened without using explosives. Just go to your local karate school and watch the instructor smash through a stack of boards or bricks. His hand doesn't slow down as it goes through, if it did he would be breaking his hand bones.

you and your opinion are too insignificant to care about whether you grasp the profound fact that we were attacked by an enemy. you want to be proved what is obvious while stubbornly promoting an obscure, outlandish and highly improbable conspiracy. Frankly, it is insulting that you minimize the lives of those who were killed by our enemies.

<<< I would just love to see anyone replicate even a model experiment to show what happened without using explosives. >>> Take 100 1/4" steel plates and balance them on columns made out of thin wood dowels. Pull the columns out from under the steel plate on the 85th floor and I guarantee that the model will fall at about the acceleration of gravity. I know that's overly simplified, but if you can grasp how the model would fall quickly, you can grasp how the Towers would fall quickly. True, the "balanced" dowels aren't continuous, but, the columns in the Trade Towers lost their horizontal support as the floors collapsed which made them about as vertically supportive as the wood dowels relative to the weight of the floors. This isn't difficult to picture or understand.
