How did all three towers fall the same way straight down? And the twins ---each with 47 massive vertical columns from the ground up and there was not even a jolt of resistance before they collapsed ?I'll save you some sleepless nights, Mike and tell you that the video guy saw nothing unusual. There was no planted CIA bombs in the Towers. The WTC was designed and built in the 1960s using a new and novel technique which saved a lot of money, material and weight allowing them to go higher, but it came with an unforeseen terrible design flaw.
The entire outside of the building was a house of cards unable to support itself without innumerable tie-off points to the central core utility structure housing the elevators, AC, plumbing and wiring via the floors themselves. In other words, the floors were not supported but were instead the actual SUPPORTS themselves. Everything depended on everything else (except the center core) to hold itself up. Once the intense 1500°F heat from the burning jet fuel began to weaken and soften the ties supporting that floor (the designers wanted wide open floors without visible support beams for large uninterrupted office spaces and conference rooms so loaded all the stress through ties at either end of the floors making each one critical, their idea of protecting the floor support beams (which is what held up the entire outer skin) with fire coating failed as the coating wasn't designed to hold up to the concussive force of a jet explosion hitting at 600 mph so was immediately blown off!), so as soon as fatigue on that floor exceeded limits and failed, it transferred exponentially more load to the remaining tie-off points! Which then caused them to fail initiating a cascade collapse of the entire tower tearing the central core down with it.
The designers had only considered an accidental crash from a private airplane perhaps lost in bad weather and never dreamed of a deliberate targeting using a jumbo jet much larger than the biggest commercial jets of that era.
Those boom boom boom explosions your guy saw and heard were the tie-offs of all the floors sequentially failing top down violently as loads were transferred to remaining and fewer structural tie-offs, which is exactly what the building HAD to do and did do, as it began its inevitable collapse.
You guys can save your disingenuous bullshit for the Sunday school kids .
