60. Wouldn't KE explain the pulverized concrete?
didn't it have the equivalent power of a couple of hundred tons of explosive? Dropping a 30 story building 10 feet would release an enormous amount of energy.

Why use thermate on the cores - high explosives are more powerful, less bulky, and easier to detonate. Why use a substance that has never been used in high rise demolition before when it provides no added benefit?
