Reply #8: "tactical nuclear weapon". Again..tell me what force enabled

[demodewd]

You're forgetting the conduction of heat away from the fire areas. The core would have functioned as a radiator.

The beginning of the collapse of WTC2 should not have been comparable to a "tactical nuclear weapon". Again...tell me what force would have enabled the immediate pulverization of the lower section of WTC2 when the upper section had been torn away and was collapsing upon itself?

This is the most widely seen video of the WTC-2 collapse, seen from east and slightly north of the towers. As can be seen in the still above, there are what appear to be rows of explosions on the east face at the level of the initial collapse, and the building begins to fall by toppling to the south. The top section (~30 floors) continues tilting to the south, but quickly it can also be seen to start collapsing on itself, losing about half its height before the bottom of it reaches the bottom of the frame. This article (originally at http://www.nerdcities.com/guardian) gives a good frame-by-frame analysis of the rows of explosions that precede the actual collapse, and discusses the rotation and collapse of the top section. As the author notes it is very peculiar that the top section, having begun tilting to the south, did not continue to topple and land far to the south of the tower. Needless to say, had this happened the damage to other buildings in the area would have been vastly greater.

Conservation of angular momentum requires that an object continue to rotate around its center of mass once set in motion, unless acted on by an outside force. Even if the tower beneath it had completely given way, leaving it nothing more to push against laterally, the rotation once started would not abruptly stop. But the top section does not stop rotating and drop straight down, as some have claimed. What does in fact happen is that the top section breaks up internally so that it no longer behaves as a rigid object, relieving it of the obligation to conserve angular momentum.. By turning into a slurry of concrete dust and shattered steel the rotation becomes dissipated into the motion of what is essentially a fluid. Why the top would collapse on itself in this manner is very difficult to explain on the basis of a simple plane damage and heat-induced collapse. It would require the entire top section to lose all internal mechanical strength just at the moment it started to topple, at the same time that its thirty one-acre slabs of 4" thick concrete were turned to dust. To accomplish this without explosives would be very difficult indeed.
