I asked you first.Hmmm...
So what was the static load limit of the first floor that the descending upper section impacted versus the load generated by the descending upper section?
Have those numbers handy?
Educate me. Show me the numbers which explain global collapse of a steel structure.
What are you basing your claim that the lower section should have resisted the upper section? You made the claim, I asked you to back it up. How about forget the numbers part. Explain how the structural system as a whole should have reacted to resist.
You said you have a construction backup right?
First question I have for you. If each floor in WTC1 and WTC2 is designed to hold a static weight of items put on it AND itself, how in the world do you expect each floor to resist the load of the entire upper section descending down upon it? Do you not comprehend the major difference in load values created by the descending upper section and the designed static load of a floor?
That doesn't address my question. Explain in terms of WTC1 and WTC2. Showing me a video doesn't tell me YOU understand the mechanics being applied.
Again, explain how YOU think the lower section should have resisted and give reasons why. Explain why you think each floor, designed for a static load, should have held together against the load generated by the descending upper section.
You dodging because you don't know.
It's not how I think it happened. Steel buildings do not collapse under their own load without eliminating many, many key structure points throughout the structure.
false comparisonI asked you first.

did any planes crash in or in proximity of that building?
if not it's meaningless..
Damage is damage. Doesn't matter if it was caused by a bomb, a plane, Mexican food or aliens. Steel buildings do not collapse in on themselves without a lot of planning and precise execution.
Yet you can't explain in simple terms how the lower sections of WTC and WTC2 should have resisted the descent of the upper section.
I have, several times now. Because steel buildings don't just collapse under their own weight at free fall speed without a perfectly executed demolition plan.
You've done nothing of the sort. You have no examples of buildings similar to WTC1 or WTC2 that were impacted by a jet in the upper third and remained standing thus I have asked you to explain how these buildings (since there are no prior examples) should have resisted and you can't do it.
BTW, WTC1, WTC2, and WTC7 did not collapse at free fall speeds. Sorry. Yet another half truth.
