I don't care about the 97 floors below and how they were crushed. I want to know how the top three floors would fare.

Would we not expect in a gravity only collapse that the upper floors would be draped over the lower part of the rubble? The upper columns and and hat truss to be laying on top of the pile? with the floor pans stretched and beaten up across smashed trusses? Remember the upper floors were not crushed by 97 floors. They rode the building down and were only subjected to their own weight.

Go ask the guys that were buried in the rubble what they were under.

And you accuse me of not being so bright! One more straw man argument out of you and we're done with this conversation! Keep to the facts, or you can finish your discussions in a vacuum with Tiger.

who says that the pan deck metal was vaporised. You just don't see it in pictures of the rubble

You see plenty of mushed up bits of metal in the debris. It looks like crumpled aluminum foil. That's what you would expect after the pounding it got.
