181. Billy, what are you talking about? There's a simple explanation
Edited on Mon Dec-29-03 04:51 PM by kysrsoze
The videos and photos make perfect sense. All of these gigantic buildings are actually built AROUND a massive, strengthened central structure in the middle of the building. When the incredible heat from thousands of gallons of fuel finally weakened the structural beams above (heat rises), the immense weight of the building came crashing down into itself, there by causing pressure to blow out the sides as every floor collapsed onto the next.

Remember the rubble at the bottom? It was everywhere. You simply couldn't see any sideways movement because of the huge cloud of dust. I'm sure there was some, but the tower coming straight down makes a lot of sense.

Regardless, you can't compare this type of implosion with the damage caused by an earthquake or structural fault in one portion of a building or foundation. Earthquakes are essentially side-to-side movement at a very rapid pace, combined with a bit of up and down movement from the waves of earth moving, which is why buildings which are designed to be "earthquake-proof" provide a lot of horizontal shock absorption.

Sorry, no conspiracy on how it fell. Of course the story of the plane crashes and whether anyone knew about them is another story.
