When the start of the collapse of the North tower with the antenna started, the antenna fell a split second before the outer building started moving indicating the core had been taken out. If, the pancake theory is to be believed, then the collapse started with the weakened section hit by the plane(or whatever it was), but there was a good 20 floors above structurally sound, yet within a split second these had disintegrated- why didn't they fall as one mass?
When the South tower goes it starts with a topple which miraculously corrects itself through the line of most resistance. Amazing considering it was an assymetric strike and damage zone.If it had started to topple you'd never, ever, ever expect it to correct itself, gravity doesn't work that way.
The notion of a pancake collapse is complete nonsense anyway, both buildings explode outwards like huge peeling bananas, so the bulk of the mass above has been ejected to the sides and cannot possibly add to any pancake!
Rather than repeating yourself over and over with requests for proof Wobs, why don't you prove to us why the steel cores disintegrated as the floors pancaked around them? steel cannot behave this way, disintegrating into dust....or breaking up into nicely moveable sections easy to remove from a crime scene when no appreciable lateral forces have been applied. Come on, knock us out with your detailed physics explanation!!!
I think some posters have grasped the fuller, bigger picture as to why they were blown up. Others just have this ostrich mentality and have yet to join the dots, happy to believe the propaganda...(and that of popular mechanics and fox news to make things worse)
("Oh but there was no event like this before, it has no precedent so yes the steel turned to water blah blah baloney")
