Hey guise! Let me ask you a question.
We've been told that the Twin Towers collapsed with a "pancake effect" right? One floor slams onto another then another until it reaches the ground.
Ok, so that depends on each successive floor perfectly pancaking onto the one below right?
You follow me?
If one floor shifted and went off to the side then eventually it would ALL slide off the side of the building and leave an X number of floors still standing right?
If the Pancake Theory is correct then how could THIS have happened?:
See the top falling over to one side? That shifts the center of gravity to the side and eventually that portion would fall of the side wouldn't it?
Unless of course, the floors below it were somehow being removed while it was falling. But of course that couldn't be!
Please explain.
In order for that portion to "fall of the side", something would have to push it sideways for over 1/2 the building width. Gravity was pulling it down. What force was being exerted which would push it sideways?
