260. Tilting is a whole other ballgame and yes, I am aware of it.
That is why earlier I said "similar objects meeting across a large surface" and didn't say the floors were colliding flat surface to flat surface.

I'm not sure I have the patience to get into tilting with you though.

That being said, as far as I know, the models of the official collapse story don't take into account the force of impact of tilting versus non tilting, but correct me if I am wrong. Generally the models are either very simplified or very abstract. Granted, what happened to the towers is a very complex problem if you don't believe in demolition, but every time I've looked at the official calculations of the "collapses", I see fatal weaknesses from over-simplification or over-abstraction.
