147. wild exaggeration about impact damage
>... first interstate bank did not have 30% of it's structural support taken out in a violent collision

Neither North nor South Tower had nearly 30% of their columns knocked out.
The photos show that maybe 30% of the columns of one of four exterior walls of North Tower were severed.
South Tower had much less damage with almost certainly very little damage to the core columns.

Were is the evidence that the other 90+% of the columns were overstressed?

If I debunk the fire damage theory you'll argue impact damage.
If I debunk that I expect you'll go back to fire.
