I've participated in forums perhaps 4 times. The volumes comparisons always show an abnormally high amount of sand and gravel.
I always stated that I consider the existing volumn depth is not known throughout the Twin Towers complex, subfloors and basements, or what of that was occupied by sand and gravel, so my participation was limited to calculating the volume of the concrete tubular core.
The volume of the core walls balanced and explained the apparent extra burden of particulate volume at the WTC generally, in each case.
Typically someone would propose a collective effort. They would already have part of the data. They shared and displayed that, or the basis for their volume calc. Some discussion about inclusion/exclusion of areas for reasons, then parallel calcs were done with the results posted. I was surprised at the consistency between some of the varying numbers once a review of methods and basis was done.
The added volume of concrete core walls always explained that, or what was over volumes of floors alone.
Volumes of sand and gravel show what would be expected with a concrete core. A structural engineer certifed in 12 states identifies a concrete core, August Domel, Ph.d SE. PE. and the Oxford encyclopedia of Technology and Innovation, published in 1992 identifies one as well.

Concrete as in the foundation you moron.... Ever put up a fence? What happens if you do not pour concrete around your fence poles when you plant them? Well sooner or later through water seepage, weather, expansion and contraction, they will start to lean and/or the bottom part of the pole in the ground will rot (wood) or oxidize (rust as in steel).
You fucking unbelievable idiot... you take a short reference like that and other similar misleading statements, and hunt and pick until you find enough nonsense you twist to mean something in your mind. And then you shout Eureka! I have it!
You don;t have anything other than some bullshit you make up from half truths, lies, misleading statements, and innuendo which in reality are more in your mind than anywhere else...
