Its an old fight. You either see the charges, or you don't.

I cant help the blind.

I can't say what made it fall down. I'm just saying that every building I've ever seen fall, falls into it's own footprint. That part of the argument doesn't really hold any water with me.

curious what your thoughts are on the sag here? it didn't fall straight down, the south face began to go down before the rest and the east face took a nice jog out from the core.

There are people claiming the tilting proves it was a demolition job. lol

"Sagging" and "leaning" are two different things. It fell straight down (for the most part), not out to one side or another. Stack some blocks, and pull one out of the corner - that's what I'm talking about. The blocks won't fall down into one neat pile, but will fall to the side and scatter.

Hell, old Larry Silverstein himself said that they gave orders to "pull it" because he thought they couldn't save it. Emergency personel said it was intentionally brought down.

I'm going to have to agree with reddog; believe it if you want. I don't.

A jenga tower would, but it's not a jenga tower. It had a central truss system that gave out.

Pulling is not what happened to WTC 7, but it is what they did to WTC 6. Pulling is a demo procedure involving steel cables and heavy machinery, not explosives.

In a perfect world, theories about the bombing in Boston wouldn't evolve into theories as to how buildings fell down in NYC back in ought-one, but this is OSA, after all, and perfect our little world ain't. I'm still thinking mean old Mr. Gravity played a part....
