380. Controlled demolition is right in your face

It's not just in the perfectly symmetric (God couldn't have done it better) collapse into ints own footrpint, or the tons of concrete transformred into utter dust....
It's the SPEED of the collapse that scienfically confirms, with almost inescapable probability, that this was explosvie and controlled.
Rapid fall in all three cases (WTC1, WTC2, WTC7) is the dead-giveaway.
Plus the fact that we have so much evidence from firemen radio chatter that the fires were under control.
Those buildings sat and smoldered for about an hour before the South Tower fell (even though it was hit 2nd). Then the North Tower collapsed same way about an hour later.
WTC7 wasn't taken down unit 5:30 that evening.

The "pancaking" argument is among the most ridiculous "debunking" tropes of all.
Even if such a "pancaking" effect occurred as a result of truss weakening or deforming steel, it still wouldn't go down as fast and as completely as it did. They couldn't even find an intact telephone or computer keyboard in all that dust.

34. The surprising thing about the way the towers fell...
is not that they fell straight down, but the fact that they fell straight down so quickly. If indeed the floors had pancaked on top of one another as the official version tells us, the floors of the towers would have taken much longer to reach the earth due to the resistance encountered and time it takes for each floor to pancake one at a time on top of each other, creating a chain reaction.
But in reality, that isn't what happened. A simple time test using a stopwatch proves the pancake theory to be a crock.
The elapsed time of the buildings' total collapse is much more consistent to that of a controlled demolition, as all floors were in simultaneous freefall (consistent with a controlled demolition), not pancaking one at a time like dominoes!
This is one of the main ideas and explanation put forth by the BYU professor Steven Jones, and it makes complete sense. In other words, the official version is complete BS!
Prof. Jones' explanation in layterms is a must-read:
