I don't know why you don't see pieces of the deck in the photos of the site. What is your theory on that, that they didn't exist in the first place, or that explosions disintegrated them? Well...we know they existed...we can rule out your straw man argument right away. Explosions disintegrating them is certainly a hypothesis that deserves some testing don't you think? What do you think?

I propose that a simple test be conducted. First we all agree that the building fell in 9-10 seconds. That's free fall time. Therefore the top floors and the roof arrived at the ground in about the same time as they would if they were hoisted by a crane or a helicopter and let go in mid air. For the test we'll need to construct three floor sections on pans and trusses. Say 12x12 with three truss sections supporting them. Then pour the specified concrete deck and reinforcement...if any...and let it cure hard, say 60 days min. Attach cables to the corners of the three test floors, so that when hoisted the floors hang a floor a part. Then sling the top four corners with four more cables to a central hook. Make sure the top four cables are at least 100 feet long. Hoist the three floor assembly aloft with a helicopter to 1320 feet above the ground and release the load to some flat ground below. Be sure to let the 100' hoist cable go with the load to act as a tail and keep the floors horizontal while falling. Then after it hits the ground, check to see if the steel pans vaporize. Check the concrete size to see if all turns to 30 micron dust. What will a test like that tell us?
