343. Although the concrete turning into dust instead of pieces is peculiar,
the 'platters' the engineer is referring to is the steel trusses that supported each floor -- if they came down vertically on top of one another certainly they didn't turn into dust like the concrete, nor would they have melted (fire was too far away for most floors) or in other way evaporated. Falling down like pancakes because of the weight of successive floors is the official explanation -- so where are the steel platters that supported each floor?

Remember one of the central tenets of the scientific method is falsifiability -- in order show a problem with a prevailing theory doesn't mean one has to substitute an alternative theory. I haven't a clue what really happened -- I'm just not satisfied with the official theory.
