112. You know nothing of demolition do you?
When you are demolishing a building, you don't rip it up. You calculate where, and what shape you need your charges to be. Generally this is on a few key lower level supports. Minor explosions that then lets gravity do the work.

To have the same effect from two buildings that aren't so prepared is about the same odds of you getting a royal flush two hands in a row.

And yes, I've talked with a great many engineers about this matter, and yes, they too are baffled.

Look, if the Big Lie brings you comfort, fine. But don't expect the rest of us to stop questioning the matter when we detect BS.
