Challenge to OCT'ers
Advertisements [?]
In discussions about physical evidence, specifically about the way the towers fell, the underlying question is whether it's possible for a steel-frame structure to fall in this way -- that is, at nearly free-fall speed -- under any circumstances other than controlled demolition. It seems the structure would have too much strength to collapse so quickly into so many pieces while so much of the energy that would be needed to make that happen was dissipated in other ways.

The usual answer is "Of course it's possible."

So my question to you is this: Can you document any other case of a steel-frame high-rise structure collapsing at nearly free-fall speed, that is, within twice the time that free fall would have taken?

I'm talking to you William, Vincent, Bolo and the rest.
