9. Yes, the 800 pound gorrilla in the room has always been
How could three buildings, damaged in different ways, at different locations on the building, all collapse virtually straight down into their own footprint. It is the question that still confounds engineers and demolition experts, and they should know, given how hard it is sometimes to get even a controlled event to come off as planned. Witness the Zip Feed Mill in South Dakota.

This is the feed mill before it was demolished.

At a little over 200 feet, it was the tallest structure in South Dakota. Well, it was getting really old, and starting to fall apart, so they decided to bring it down with explosives. Hired a reputable company to do the work. But they ran into some problems, and the building didn't come down as it should have. Instead of crumbling, it merely lurched to one side and stayed upright.

Now then, if a controlled demolition can run into these kinds of problems, with deliberately and scientifically placed charges, how in the world can three buildings, all damaged in different ways, all hit in different areas, all come virtually straight down into their own footprint, and thus supposedly becoming the only three structural steel buildings ever to collapse from fire:eyes: Sorry folks, but one's suspension of disbelief can only go on for so long, and that time has run out. What we saw on TV on that day was the Big Lie being played out, live and on television. There is no way in hell those three building could have defied the laws of physics the way they did. And that is the 800 pound gorilla that everybody is ignoring. Continue to do so at your own peril.
