125. The spandrels connecting the perimeter columns made the external steel
a unified stressed skin. And once again you forgot the hat truss that connected
the core and perimeter columns both.

The only mechanisms for destroying the floors in the top block would have
acted only on the lower floors, not all of them. The top block turned to dust
when it should have dropped as a unit.
