    Sabin Matthew has a series of major errors in his thinking. The ablative foam thermal protective coating on the steel would have protected it much longer, as it did with tower 7, but the coating was hard and brittle, and most of it was shattered off of the steel in the impact zones by the force of the explosions. Tower 7 burned many times longer before collapsing. Sabin's worst error is the statement about the size of the airliners involved. At 10:50 in the video, it's said that the Boeing 707 is "half the size of the one that actually hit." This is blatantly false; the most common variants of each, 707-320B and 767-200ER, are very little different. To summarize the aircraft: The maximum takeoff weight for a Boeing 707-320B is 336,000 pounds. The maximum takeoff weight for a Boeing 767-200ER is 395,000 pounds. The wingspan of a Boeing 707 is 146 feet. The wingspan of a Boeing 767 is 156 feet. The length of a Boeing 707 is 153 feet. The length of a Boeing 767 is 159 feet. The Boeing 707 could carry 23,000 gallons of fuel. The Boeing 767 could carry 23,980 gallons of fuel. The cruise speed of a Boeing 707 is 607 mph = 890 ft/s, The cruise speed of a Boeing 767 is 530 mph = 777 ft/s. The REAL difference between the engineers' test and the incident was the engineers' assumption that the collision would be accidental; it wasn't. The test was for what they considered to be the most likely scenario; a 707 near the end of its flight, with most of its fuel used up and slowed down to landing approach speed (161 mph) in poor visibility. What happened was a 767 very near the start of a long flight, with nearly a maximum fuel load, flying in clear air and broad daylight, at full throttle top speed (558 mph); a worst case scenario that the engineers had no logical reason to consider.

    And building 7 was the cities command bunker. Reinforced to withstand direct attack. But some burning debris made it fall at free fall speeds. Oh and the air was safe to breath, nobody in Government would ever lie. All the first responders that died horrible deaths was just a coincidence, right? The FBI agent that warned about the pilots and them being escorted past their visa checks was in one of the buildings and died. Israel, on state tv interviewed people that claimed they were there and filmed it because then knew it would happen. Ignore the explosions that were going off and the witness testimony to that effect. The truth is out there but you straw man with your numbers.

    Also no one ever considers the speed limit of airplanes at that height. Airplanes flying at that height are not to exceed 250 mph. No one in their wildest dreams could have imagined a scenario like that could have happened. Simply put the physics of this crash were never taken into account, mainly because the planes hit at a speed limit that was over double what was legally allowed

    Something none of these videos explain. The bottom of the tower has to be stronger because it holds up the whole tower. The fire was at the top and fire burns upward and yes it could have weakened the structure enough to collapse but it collapsed evenly and took out everything evenly all the way to the ground. In this video you explain how the connections of the floors to the outside Collums and how the outside buckled but never explained the center core giving way all the way to the ground. The closer to the ground the stronger it had to be and there was no fire at the bottom. The tower came down evenly all the way to the ground not once but both towers came down like this. Then there is building number seven that also collapsed the same way and it just caught fire from the other building. I watch these videos because I would like to understand but once again it fails to convince me.

    "but never explained the center core giving way all the way to the ground" The center core of the Towers wasn't able to stand on its own. The Towers were a unit, where all the elements needed each other. "it just caught fire from the other building" WTC 7 was, in the words of the FDNY, "fully involved in fire" for 7 hours. There's no "just" about any of that.

    @@joecioe8566 - OK, just remember - you asked. The collapse of the Twin Towers isn’t really that difficult to grasp and most of it you can see with simple visual observation. Unfortunately many people lose the plot getting lost in wrong _block dynamics_ mechanisms that have nothing to do with what actually happened, then waste years arguing about it. I’m doing it the right way, dealing with the actual mechanisms as observed. This is *my* explanation presented point by point that does not rely on any authority. It is the absolute shortest way I know to summarize it what actually happened. This will be a lot more detailed than the video above and without visual aids (although these can be provided on a case-by-case basis if you have specific questions) so you will have to use the minds eye. 1. The 47 steel core columns carry the majority of the gravity loads. The 236 steel perimeter columns carry the remainder and ALL of the lateral (wind) loads. Long-span lightweight floor trusses connect the core and perimeter column together with a hat truss on top to tie the structure together as an integrated unit where no element can survive without the others 2. Aircraft impact damages or destroys many perimeter and some core columns. Large multi-floor fires are started and able to spread rapidly with no effective fire fighting or fire suppression. This was observed and recorded. 3. Heat causes floor trusses to sag at the impact and fire damaged floors. This was observed and recorded. 4. Sagging floor trusses cause inward bowing of perimeter columns increasingly overloaded while simultaneously becoming weaker by up to 5 feet! This was again observed and recorded. 4a. Bent columns lose much of their ability to support a load. 5. Perimeter columns buckle and fail, initiating the collapse and turning the formerly static mass above them into a dynamic one 30 times greater. Again, this was observed and recorded. Columns above and columns below the failure point are no longer aligned. The load bearing structure below is not longer bearing any load. 6. Thousands of tons of debris _pour down the open office space within the four outer walls_ and the analogous spaces within the cores. This debris crashes onto the floors - which can not even begin to resist that - instantly breaking their bolted connections to the columns, one floor at a time. 6a. This debris *falls past the columns* not onto them, thus the columns can provide no resistance to the falling debris. Conspiracist models of collapse (eg; AE911T) all assume _columns crushing columns_ like a tree falling through itself. This did not occur and is why conspiracists can’t grasp the physics. Their models are wrong. 6b. The only structure resisting the collapse is the bolted connections of the floor trusses to the core and perimeter columns. A pair of 5/8” bolts at each end of each truss vs. thousands of tons of falling debris. 7. This collapse can _only_ go straight down. 8. Collapse progresses through the _floor systems_ and *not* down the columns. Rate of floor assembly failures increases with each successive floor as momentum increases, reaching an average acceleration of 0.65 of GA, or 35% slower than true free fall. Bang, bang, bang down the building until there are no more floors to fail. 8a. As the next floor is impacted, momentum is briefly slowed before accelerating in free fall again 12 feet to the next floor. Velocity and momentum are constantly increasing. 8b. With each floor failure the falling debris gains mass, momentum and energy as it descends to the next floor. The falling mass increases with every floor it destroys as new falling mass is added. Some falls to the sides, but most falls down. 8c. The above is unquestionably the _path of least resistance_ 9. As air is compressed inside the building (95% air by volume) it is forced down the tower and out the sides. This was observed and recorded. 10. Perimeter columns become detached and peel away (think banana) _behind_ the collapse front. This was observed and recorded, the results quite obvious from examination of the debris pile. 11. Core columns fail last as their internal beam bracing is stripped away and lateral support from the floor to perimeter columns is lost. This was observed and recorded. 12. The whole process took 31-34 seconds from the moment the perimeter columns buckled until the last core columns hit the pile. For those who care about such things that is 1/3 the rate of true free fall. 14. What was NOT observed and recorded were the 180-190 dB bangs of high explosives or the blinding bright flashes of thermite, neither of which could have caused the observed perimeter column buckling and neither of which could have survived the impacts and fires anyway. There is zero physical evidence to support either conjecture and both are pure fantasy, totally unsupported by evidence, logic, reason or simple observation. That is the quick-and-dirty collapse sequence in a nutshell, accurate no matter who planned and carried out the 9/11 attacks or why. Remember, the Twin Towers were an _integrated system_ in which no one element could survive without the others. Collapse started (initiated) in the perimeter columns and continued (progressed) through the path of least resistance - the floor systems - bypassing the columns which would have been the path of greatest resistance. Comments, questions and alternative hypothesis at least as rigorous are welcome, one point at a time please to prevent things going off the rails.

    My father was the last air traffic controller to speak to the B-25 Mitchell bomber before it crashed into the Empire State building. Their orders were to divert from NYC's LaGuardia and land at New Jersey's Newark Metro Airport due to heavy fog. My father gave them their triangulated coordinates, then stated switch to Mitchell Field. He always thought like stripes they took the plane for one last hurahh. He thought that they just picked the wrong place to dive down and gun the engines. The pilot Col. Smith was my college math teachers colonel he dreaded flying that model bomber.

    In unedited footage of the onset of the South Tower collapse (and in the animation used in this presentation) it can clearly be seen that the floors above the initial damage begin to fall off to the side. Is there some unknown construction technique that counters lateral fall of a collapsing structure? What, if any, explanation can you give for this happening? Also, please explain how it was possible that one side of the building could sustain such catastrophic damage (the destruction of well over 75% of it's structural support) and not allow for the upper floors to 'slide off' towards the missing support.

When the perimeter columns on one side failed in compression that caused those on the opposite side to be put into tension, which would quickly cause them to fail. Then the whole thing drops. In the battle between tilt and drop, drop won. There is no hinge point for tilt to continue. No lateral force that could push the top of the building off of the lower part of the building. No mechanism for sliding.

    Nonsense. If the "tilt" had been caused by fatigue from damage, it wouldn't have needed any "hinge point, lateral force", to "push the top of the building off" It already had gravity and momentum working for it. If this had been a natural occurrence, from the damage, it would have just kept going, as opposed to canceling the existing lateral motion and just dropping straight down. Both forces would have remained relevant. When and if the perimeter "on one side failed in compression that caused those on the opposite side to be put into tension, which would quickly cause them to fail" ALSO NOT ACCURATE. You people like to forget/pretend that there was no substantial core in the building to prevent , the so called tension to the opposite side of the perimeter. This video is very well produced, but it is a looong way from a physics/physical explanation of what caused any of these buildings to come down the way they did.@@KZreadSucks12328 "The battle between "tilt"/lateral motion and drop/vertical motion" is nonsense.

    Debris from the WTC1 and WTC2 collapses damaged the buildings around them, including WTC7, and started major fires which were left to burn for seven hours. The heat weakened internal core steel columns in one part of the building failed vertically. And then the now unsupported adjacent columns failed laterally. The debris from the steel frame collapsing pierced the now freestanding outer shell near the base and it finally collapsed.

    The Twin Towers were an integrated system of core columns supporting most of the gravity load, perimeter columns supporting the remainder of the gravity load and all of the lateral (wind) loads, long span floor trusses to tie those elements together and a hat truss to cap it off. No one element could survive without the others. That is the integrated system part. The same avalanche of loose debris which fell through the open office space progressively destroying the long span floor trusses was also falling through the floor systems of the core, stripping the beams out that supported the floors in that region in combination with the lost floor trusses and the critical lateral support they provide the core columns could not remain standing on their own.

    For the morbidly curious, there have been a lot of re-mastered and sharp videos surfacing. You can really see the sway of towers when they were hit (you must look very closely against some stable frame of reference in the video) and it's easy to see the buckling of the perimeter of the south tower in the final moments. As each floor collapses, starting a minute or so before the full progressive collapse, puffs of black smoke push out of each of those floors. And the sparks of the grinding columns increase. It's still real difficult watching the footage and I avoid it these days for the most part. I'm still freaked out by it (I had just returned from there when it happened). All those people just going to work.

    Very interesting video, but its just more of the same, we already been told to believe...i liked the start of the video, where the construction itself was nicely explained, but when i saw the coke load test, as comparison to the wtc collapse, it got a bit ridicilous. That maybe would have been correct if the towers where standing upside down, but one thing wasnt mentioned in this video, the thickness of the supporting steal beams, as we all know the higher the floors the thinner und lighter the steal beams, meaning in terms of load capacity we can see the towers as an pyramid like structure. But then we see a collapse that pulverizes all those beams, getting thicker and stronger the lower it gets literally into dust, without any resistance at all! Well, i guess we will never find out the whole truth/story about that collapse, but there are a lot of wild theories out there...

Had there been one and if foul play was found it would have implicated a lot of very wealthy people and senior government officials. My opinion of those who believe the whole story as absolute fact is not thinking they are sheep or stupid but rather not being able to withstand that kind of betrayal. Kind of like listening to the families of serial killers and being shocked.

    This study seems to provide a credible depiction of the events, notwithstanding the myriad theories proposed over time. It's important to note, though, that in assessing a fire's impact on a building, factors extend beyond just the initial fuel source, like jet fuel. The 'live load'--essentially the movable items within the building--plays a significant role in fueling the fire's intensity and temperature. Often, this aspect doesn't receive enough attention in engineering education and practice. In a standard office building, the live load includes various furniture items such as chairs, couches, and wooden tables, predominantly composed of fabrics and wood, not metal. Office environments also contain cubicles, an abundance of paper, and numerous plastic components found in printers, computers, and cabling systems. Plastics, in particular, are notable for their high energy content when burned, substantially increasing fire temperature. Further, the building's live load might encompass textiles like curtains and carpets, known for their quick ignition and intense burning. Even small amounts of chemicals or flammable liquids present in the building can significantly influence the fire's spread and severity. In industrial contexts, this live load may extend to raw materials, partially completed products, and waste materials, all of which can react unpredictably in a fire scenario. Properly understanding the nature and volume of these materials is vital for effective fire safety strategy and the design of fire suppression systems. The presence of these elements, adding to the fire's fuel, can markedly alter how a fire propagates and the difficulty in managing it. Just my input.

Ask yourself this question, How did 3 buildings Collapse at freefall speed Into their own footprint ultimately being completely destroyed When fuel source and delivery are inconsistent with each other? And before you respond please keep in mind that it has never happened in human history previous to that date. In layman's terms what I'm trying to say is falling debris doesn't fly into a building and it completely destroy a building! doesn't happen.

    I remember clearly, I was at the airport in Zurich when it happened, and we were watching at the TV screens in disbelief at what had just happened. This explanation is just one of many theories., Many people claim to have heard several underground explosions prior to the collapse. How can anyone explain the mistakes of NORAD and DoD. How terrorists got into the cockpits of several planes and controlled them. Is it true that traces of beryllium particles were found around the zero point, which is associated with military Thermite explosives? I am truly sorry for all the dead, but despite this explanation, this is still a big, unsolved mystery to me.

  • @Cliffjumper24

    I can answer most of these. "How can anyone explain the mistakes of NORAD and DoD" There's 2 factors for this. 1: There were many delays and miscommunication between civilian air traffic controllers, and the military air traffic controllers. Some of the miscommunication was because the hijacked airliners had their transponders turned off, removing a lot of data such as altitude, heading and speed, leaving nothing more than a blip moving around. 2: Post the cold war, the US had reduced its air defences to just a handful of fighters, and even then, the standard procedure was the expectation that the enemy would be coming from outside of the US, but the hijackers attacked from inside the US. "How terrorists got into the cockpits of several planes and controlled them" The cockpits weren't armoured... so the hijackers waited for a member of the cabin crew to go and talk to the pilots, and then moved in to take control of the plane. In addition... having hijackers flying into buildings in a suicide attack was completely unexpected. For decades, the normal procedure was to obey the hijackers until they could land, and then the authorities would negotiate for the hostages to be released. "Is it true that traces of beryllium particles were found around the zero point, which is associated with military Thermite explosives?" No. The "thermite" claims come from a 9/11 truther who (several years later) claimed to have a sample of dust from the attack, and when examined under a microscope, they found browny red flakes or iron oxides... which are found in Thermite. However, red oxide is also found on lots of normal things too... including 'paint'! Red oxide is a common undercoat paint, which could come from metal girders, walls and many other things. Think of it this way... flour has been the cause of explosions when the dust has been ignited. But finding flour in a kitchen doesn't mean it's a part of a plot to cause an explosion!

    I was there during the first attack on WTC(1993 Bombing), and barely escaped with my life. I had access to the area after the bombing, so this is a first hand account. The concussion of the blast completely defeated the "spray foam" insulation. It fell off the steel trusses and columns like snow. It was everywhere. The insulation was designed to insulate against a fire, not withstand an impact. It is my opinion that in 2001 the impact of the airplanes causes the insulation to "delaminate" and fall off the structures (trusses, beams, columns...) they were designed to protect, thus hastening the inevitable collapse. I think that if the insulation was actually in place, the towers would have stood for longer, or not collapsed at all. I also wonder how much asbestos I inhaled that day.

    Several things: 1. WTC 7 WTC 7 was not unimpacted by the towers falling. Many tons of debris fell onto and into the building causing mass amounts of damage. Along with this, a fire started in the building which was unable to be supressed due to the fire supression system in the building being annihilated by debris, along with fire fighters who were occupied with other more important matters at the time. 2. Yes the plane can punch through the steel columns in the core The core columns were horizontally supported by the steel trusses. Once those started to give way, the core went along with them. No, the core was not laterally braced (which could have prevented the collapse). The plane in question was going extremely fast, no doubt carrying several hundred thousand joules of force behind it. This allowed the plane to easily punch through the steel columns, disintegrating the plane in the process. It is the same as an asteroid hitting the earth. Its just cobbled together rock that burns easily, however they go so fast that if they do impact while being intact enough they can wipe out an entire town. 3. Of course the other buildings were still standing WTC 7 was right next to the towers causing severe damage. The other buildings however were far enough away to be unaffected by fire, but no doubt were still severely impacted by debris and dust. 4. FFS it was not a controlled demolition What type of plane crash speaks "controlled demolition" to you?

    The part that is never answered is how the 47 inner columns and elevator shafts would be affected by trusses that are not on top of them. Think of records falling around a spindle. Had the building really had this truss weakness, the core structure below the impact would still remain as flimsy trusses off to the sides wouldnt be strong enough to even move them let alone disintegrate them. If a few buckling trusses taking out 110 floors in BOTH buildings total isnt beyond far fetched, the non-explanation for how forty-seven 36 inch steel beams 5 inches wide were pulverized to dust while not being beneath any of the trusses is literally an IQ test failure. Go get educated in physics before buying anything. These amateur hour graphic attempts are providing implausible explanations for collapse if you are willing to buy them. Learn the laws of physics and how they dont apply to this collapse. See if you can find examples in reality where less mass from above takes out the much more resistant mass below without demolition and while at freefall speed (not slowing down). Then cite all your real world examples for the rest of us to see. It would take multiple fire-bombers to pelt this building enough times to take out the entire building. It wasnt made of tinfoil as all these videos seem to imply when it comes to a full scale pulverized concrete, steel, machinery and furnishings. Some additional advice would be to look at the video of the making of the World Trade Center and see the structure and other massive engineering designs that suddenly all magically became powder. I actually took a tour of the towers the year before the event and they mentioned the issues in cost for air conditioning, elevators, asbestos etc that all prove be very costly unless they were demolished. So I wasnt in as much shock that they were imploded, but was in sheer shock how they staged an entire event to make it profitable with people still inside! Education goes along way when discerning truth from belief. What probably is not allowed on youtube is alternate video explanations that actually would explain how else two 110 story buildings and a 3rd high rise building in the same area built quite differently, all collapsed into their own footprint. Media control and monopoly is doing us a great disservice, people. History has become the narratives they want you to believe versus actuality. If you also really buy into that our skies are typically that unprotected after the first strike, and that the Pentagon was as well, which is considered the most protected airspace in the world with layers of defenses to protect it, well you are just gullible to a fault.

That's a good start. The core columns would probably have encountered a lot of impacting from the falling mass. And remember the core columns were made from 3 story tall elements, welded along the long side only, from the outer side only. Plus the core wasn't cross braced. The core was unable to stand alone, without the lateral support of the floor trusses. In the end we did see the core standing last, until it buckled under its own weight. _"If a few buckling trusses taking out 110 floors in BOTH buildings"_ It's not the trusses that took out floor by floor. It was the mass of the falling upper part that took out the truss seats (the L-shaped elements that kept the trusses in place). _"forty-seven 36 inch steel beams 5 inches wide were pulverized to dust"_ You think the steel turned to dust? The columns were pulverized? What makes you think that? _"Learn the laws of physics and how they dont apply to this collapse."_ What exactly seems to be the issue? _"See if you can find examples in reality where less mass from above takes out the much more resistant mass below without demolition"_ Every single progressive collapse is your example. Just like the 1 single domino that makes the other 999,999 fall over. Curious by the way what you mean by "much more resistant". The only resistance that needed to be overcome was the resistance provided by the truss seats. In every single photo from the debris, we see these truss seats bent down or even broken off of the columns. _"and while at freefall speed (not slowing down)."_ Hold on there. There is no such thing as free fall speed. Free fall is a measure of acceleration, not of speed. Free fall will make stuff accelerate at a rate of 9.8 meters per second per second, or 9.8 m/s2. Any resistance will reduce that value and make the acceleration decrease. Decreased acceleration does not mean decreased speed. It just means it wil accelerate slower. Only if the acceleration is less than 0, the speed will reduce. _"It wasnt made of tinfoil as all these videos seem to imply"_ What?

Costs of airconditioning and elevators are simply calculated in the rental fee. Like with every other high rise office building. Cost of asbestos removal was estimated to a 200 million USD. The Port Authority of New York sued their property insurers for this amount and it was a widely publicized issue during the 90's. A lot of information is still available about this issue. In addition, demolishing a building hardly lowers the cost of removal. Lastly, the bidders on the WTC lease knew about this issue and made a bid accordingly. This claim of yours is completely nonsensical. _"I wasnt in as much shock that they were imploded"_ That's not what happened though, is it? Unless of course there is some kind of evidence that backs up this claim? _"Education goes along way when discerning truth from belief."_ That's starting to sound a bit ironic now. _" all collapsed into their own footprint."_ Own footprint you say? Interesting since you mentioned WTC 7. Only if you believe WTC 7 was inside the towers' footprint, they collapsed into it. 20+ surrounding buildings were heavily damaged as a result of the collapses of the twin towers. WTC 7 being one of them. If the towers collapsed into their own footprints, how did these other buildings get damaged by the falling debris from the towers? _"If you also really buy into that our skies are typically that unprotected after the first strike, and that the Pentagon was as well, which is considered the most protected airspace in the world with layers of defenses to protect it, well you are just gullible to a fault."_ NORAD was tasked to protect the US at its borders. The attacks came from within the borders. Only after 9/11 NORAD has started taking care of the entire air space. What does "most protected air space in the world with layers of defenses" mean exactly? You do realize Reagan National Airport is one of the Pentagon's neighbors? Anyway, please define. You might want to look into your claim a bit more thoroughly.

Also, I think the North Tower could have collapsed even if flight 11 didn't crash into it. The collapse would have happened at the same time WTC 7 did, & it wouldnt be til the wee hours of the following day for WTC 7 to fall too, which could have been devastating since the recovery efforts had already began.

Because you seem to have a misinformed understanding of both a) the capabilities of rescue helicopters in that scenario, and b) what those helicopter pilots were seeing that day. Or rather, what they *didnt* see. There’s been multiple documented interviews with some of the heli crews. Nearly all of them said they were in fact circling the buildings in hopes of deploying any possible sort of rescue attempts, which is corroborated by the fact nearly all the footage from that day shows those helicopters circling near the tops of the towers as opposed to the mid-section. Had they seen even a single person on or near the roof that day, recalling a quote from one of the crewman, he said they would almost certainly have attempted rescue. But therein lies the problem - for reasons speculated though not definitively known, not a single person was seen nor recorded waiting atop the roofs of the towers. Whether it be due to inaccessibility or simply neglect due to the logical mindset for escaping a tower engulfed in fire is to go down, not up. We simply don’t know & probably never will. And I’ll assume you’re not actually intending to insinuate that helicopters dangling cables could ever feasibly rescue any of the unfortunate souls hanging off the side of the tower windows with billows of smoke rising from every angle. Because it really shouldn’t need to be explained why that would be an impossible endeavor.

    @@ClaytonBigsby93 Perhaps you could opine on another issue that I'm struggling to make sense of. Much is made of the idea that the jet fuel burned for days. My experience is that kerosene or jet fuel atomises relatively easily, and is designed to do so. If you slam that fuel contained in essentially a 'paper thin' containment means into a solid structure at great speed it will have created an ideal scenario for instant atomisation over a very wide area inside and outside the building. When seeing the footage of the sheer magnitude of the fireball that was emitted outside the building it's hard to imagine that the vast majority of fuel, (if not all of it) was combusted in the initial explosion and ensuing fire over a matter of a few minutes, not to mention that much of the fuel surely was likely projected through and outside of the building? I would have thought sufficient oxygen would also have been availed for this combustion with the rush of air accompanying the fuel as it hurtled through pathways within the structure.

  • @Shurmash

    The world trade centers were designed to withstand several airplane impacts. Second, the fuel was turned into a hot gas which rose, not sank. There was not enough liquid fuel left to melt those steel columns 90 floors down. Firefighters and civilians reported explosions coming from the basement and going up the buildings before the planes even hit. There is still footage on Rumble of demolition charges going up all of the buildings including world trade center 7 as well. Thermate-TH3 which is a (military-grade explosive) was found in every dust sample collected from the world trade centers. They can cut through steel columns like butter and that's why there was molten metal in the basements months later. Those buildings were brought down using pre-planted thermate-TH3 cutter charges in controlled demolitions. And whatever hit the Pentagon was not a commercial airliner because it was far too small and did not come from the sky. It went across the ground on a completely flat trajectory which means it was probably launched from some type of moving platform. No airplane debris was ever found on the Pentagon lawn. No engines, no wings, no fuselage, no tail section. The wings and the engines should have been sheared off as soon as it entered the building (which would probably be impossible). It was a missile. And in the crater in Shanksville there was no plane debris either. There's still footage about that on Rumble as well.

And they also knew that even if the jet impacts weren't enough to bring down the towers, it would still cause shock, horror, and a few thousand deaths at a minimum. Either way they'd achieved their terroristic goals. The exact detail of how it might play out wouldn't be that important to the 9/11 planners.

Upper floors had original, asbestos based, crumbly foam. Scenario where heavy airplanes at full speed hit the buildings and initiate a sudden multistorey fire fueled by office combustibles was WAY BEYOND THE SAFETY DESIGN LIMITS and the fact they stood for so long goes to show how well they were designed. Contrary to this video's false idea, any other classical steel building with evenly spaced columns would fall very fast or almost immediately from the impact alone.

    _"I'm still skeptical as to how the whole building just collapsed down perfectly like the way they did."_ Not sure if the word "perfectly" adequately describes what happened. Some of the facades of the towers fell down as one piece. Slabs of still connected perimeter panels fell into Deutsche Bank Building, WTC 7, World Financial Center. Looking at overhead pictures taken shortly after 9/11, we can see these slabs covering West st and for example Greenwich st. A perfect collapse would not have touched 20 surrounding buildings of which some needed to be completely demolished. _"As tall as those two buildings were, they could've leaned and fell onto others nearby."_ That is basically what happened, just not in one piece. High rises won't topple over, unless there is some kind of pivoting point at the base. As soon as any leaning starts happening, the leaning part will break apart. The engineering of buildings usually don't provide calculations for leaning buildings. When tilted, forces shift within the tilted part up to the point it will simply fall apart.

We not only celebrate our differences because it's the right thing to do but we are also acutely aware that new arrivals who are not accepted and are, by whatever means, forced to assimilate still have many supporters in the "old country".

    Great video but it needs a few corrections: 1• Jet fuel was not the only material burning in those towers. In fact, it probably burned off within a few minutes. *BUT* it acted as an accelerant that started office fires, which BTW burn _hotter_ than jet fuel! (It was the office fires that burned at up to 1000°C or 1800°F). And those office fires had virtually unlimited fuel! 2• The collapses of the towers took considerably longer than stated here; the north tower took over 20 seconds to come all the way down! Time it yourself: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d4eVq6ePqK_Ue5c.html 3• The critical "condition" the engineers did not consider was the _speed_ of the crashing airplane. The 9/11 jets were going roughly 3x _FASTER_ than the test scenario, and since kinetic energy goes as the square of velocity, the 767s struck the towers with approximately *_nine times the energy_* which did considerably more damage to the towers' structure than they planned on.

So i belive at the Theory of some poples about the first time when they start to build. It was stipulated by the building authority that in the event that the buildings had to be removed at some point, there would be a plan without damaging the neighboring buildings. Some people say that small nuclear explosive devices were integrated into the construction, which also explained the pulverization.

    What I can't understand is those helicopters circling the general area. They might not have had rescue cables and baskets themselves but they could have immediately radioed their coastguard friends with their helicopter to help those trapped above the impact zone. They had plenty of time to do it and also they could have rescued a few folks from the top of the building. It's almost as if they didn't want anyone with in-building witness testimony to be saved and share their testimony. Weird hey?

    Ok. Great video. The reasoning is sound. BUT ... #1: was the combined mass, velocity, and structural design of the aircraft (aluminium sheet and trusses) really sufficient to rupture/puncture the inner steel structure of the towers? And #2: the towers ultimately collapsed at or very near free-fall velocity, i.e. the upper, descending mass was not slowed by the lower static and fire-free structure. Thanks for any thoughts on or explanations for this.

    @@BrainFuck10 His reasoning is fine, but his example is simplistic. The towers were held up by the strength and stability afforded to structural integrity of the perimeter tube design. Once that integrity was compromised, the structure became weaker and less stable. Given the damage done by the airplanes compounded by the effects of heat from the fires, collapses were inevitable. Just to clarify, above ground level concrete was only used in the towers for flooring.

    #1 Yes. The force of the impact on the North Tower was a bit more than the thrust of ten F-1 engines. No, not Formula 1 engines, but the engines on the first stage of the Saturn V rocket (five Rocketdyne F-1 engines). Imagine the force of two Saturn Vs at liftoff. #2 They did not free fall. A free fall from the 100th floor of the North Tower (first floor above the impact zone) would take 8.722 seconds. So it actually took 50% longer to fall than a free fall. Also remember that as the mass fell, it basically plowed down through the inside of the building. If you watch footage of it you will see the external columns - the outer structural skin - just peeling away. The external columns contributed a significant amount to the strength of the buildings, but were never designed to be freestanding. As soon as the hat truss separated from the external columns, which is what happened milliseconds after the collapse started, the external columns were providing effectively zero structural support. Each floor that failed when hit by the falling mass became part of the falling mass, adding to the momentum that would hit the next floor. If we had very high speed camera footage of the collapse it might be possible to see that it was not smoothly continuous. Rather, it was one floor at a time. The mass would be falling and accelerating, then it would hit a floor, abruptly but very briefly decelerate, then resume falling and accelerating. This cycle happened too quickly for human perception though. I hope this clears things up.

    One thing i never understood. Why does a softer, sagging floor create more inward force on the walls than a straight one? I don't get this. it's the same load, and the load vector is downwards in both cases. If there is a pull inwards where does that pull force come from? Or is it that the floor is no longer working as a horizontal brace against the walls? But still where does the inwards pull force come from? I think I need to see some vectors to wrap my head around this.

    _"Why does a softer, sagging floor create more inward force on the walls than a straight one?"_ The total downward force will not change, since the mass of the floor doesn't change. The load vector changes however. A stiff, intact floor will distribute its load onto the truss seats which are mounted on the columns. With a sagging floor, the center of mass changes to a point below those connections which makes the vectors shift indeed. Try putting up two wooden poles in your backyard and mount a steel rod in between. The poles will be fine. Now swap that rod for a steel chain. If the chain is heavy enough, it is near to impossible to get that chain as straight as the pole. Leave it alone, and your poles will start shifting into each other's direction. The tension in the chain pulls on the poles in the direction of the chain.

Another was the bomber was trying to land after getting lost in the fog (this is what led to flashing lights at the top of buildings).

Empire State is also smaller as it goes up, so less weight on top than the equal sized floors of the World Trade Center.

    Buckling is indeed unavoidable with a structure of this size, and the reason that extremely big structures almost always pancake rather than topple. The heavier the object, the more force it experiences through the acceleration of gravity. With extremely large buildings, this downwards pull overwhelms almost any sidewards momentum. In order to topple over, you need a pivot that can withstand the downwards force of the mass above it. But a falling mass of this magnitude will crush any potential pivot element and then continue to fall straight downwards.

    I am a registered architect of 41 years, took basic structural engineering/physic courses in college, and worked on high-rise structures in my early years. A few questions. First, how did the perimeter trusses give way all at that the same time? Was the fire's heat evenly spread throughout the floor, unlike any other fire I've known of. If the truss perimeter connections gave way sequentially instead, the upper structure collapse would've come down rotationally, that is lopsidedly, not in one even downward thrust. Just think of a wood frame truss on a house and how a fire will bring down the trusses in portions. Second, the stair/elevator core was made up of a dense network of columns that was even tighter than the Empire State Building's layout. My professional sense is that that the core would've held up even with 15 floors coming down on it. That or resisted some of the collapse as it reached closer to ground level where the core columns would've been even thicker. What I think we should've seen is a collapsed outer shell with a good portion of the core still standing. Third, while the WTC Towers had a unique structural design from the 1970's, how is that no other high-rise has ever collapsed after being engulfed in flames. I understand the jet fuel burned out rather quickly and what fueled the rest of the fire was the office FF&E, and FF&E fuel has never brought a modern high-rise down. And separately, how did WTC 7, across the street from the falling Towers, collapse after only a few structural members hit it? I call B*ll d*ng and I mean no disrespect to the 3000 who lost their lives in this tragedy.

    _"I am a registered architect of 41 years, took basic structural engineering/physic courses in college, and worked on high-rise structures in my early years."_ Great. Let's see the arguments of a professional. Yet, I do not really care about anyone's alleged qualifications. I care about their arguments. _"First, how did the perimeter trusses give way all at that the same time?"_ Perimeter trusses? What on earth are you talking about? _"If the truss perimeter connections gave way sequentially instead, the upper structure collapse would've come down rotationally"_ You might want to explain that bit in a little more detail. What kind of force would have made the upper structure rotate in a few seconds and why? _"Just think of a wood frame truss on a house and how a fire will bring down the trusses in portions. "_ Now add a 12-28 story building on top of those trusses and see what happens. _"Second, the stair/elevator core was made up of a dense network of columns that was even tighter than the Empire State Building's layout. My professional sense is that that the core would've held up even with 15 floors coming down on it. That or resisted some of the collapse as it reached closer to ground level where the core columns would've been even thicker."_ This quote alone shows how you have no idea of the engineering of the towers or the collapse sequence at all. Why would the thickness of the columns be relevant to the way the towers collapsed? Didn't you mention the floor-to-column connections before? Also, there may have been many core columns. But how were those a network? You know they weren't cross braced? You know the core depended on the tight floor connections for its lateral stability? _"What I think we should've seen is a collapsed outer shell with a good portion of the core still standing."_ That makes sense. And that is exactly what we have seen in every video of the collapses. Now add the lateral instability of a free standing core and voila. _"Third, while the WTC Towers had a unique structural design from the 1970's, how is that no other high-rise has ever collapsed after being engulfed in flames. I understand the jet fuel burned out rather quickly and what fueled the rest of the fire was the office FF&E, and FF&E fuel has never brought a modern high-rise down. "_ DO you really understand the design of the towers? Find me one single example of a comparable high rise that suffered the same kind of damage please. _"the office FF&E, and FF&E fuel has never brought a modern high-rise down."_ You might want to do some research before you make such a claim. Yet, how relevant would it be if the engineering and damage would not be comparable? _"how did WTC 7, across the street from the falling Towers, collapse after only a few structural members hit it?"_ Ah, you forgot the "burning" part. And do you think "a few structural members" would be an adequate description of what happened? Did you forget about the uncontrolled fires over 8 floors? You, being a "registered architect for over 41 years". of course have read NIST NCSTAR 1a, right? The report that deals with the collapse sequence of WTC 7.

    Funny thing, I just replaced a wooden 4x4 support column by the metal one, and the construction guy was telling me how metal trusses (and columns) are less fire resistant than wooden ones. Wood starts burning at relatively low temperature, but it maintains its rigidity as it burns, so it has to burn through significantly to collapse, while steel softens much below its melting temperature, at around 600 C, and once you heat it up, it sags.

    f you take the entiere quatity of the material used for those buldings and the poor amount left on the ground, you will understand the truth. It can't never be this low amount of trash (debris). So i belive at the Theory of some poples about the first time when they start to build. It was stipulated by the building authority that in the event that the buildings had to be removed at some point, there would be a plan without damaging the neighboring buildings. Some people say that small nuclear explosive devices were integrated into the construction, which also explained the pulverization.

    1. The perimeter columns didn't all give way at the same time. Euler buckling failure occurred on one side of each tower, followed shortly after by the opposite columns failing in tension rather than compression. Seems obvious enough just looking at it. 2. The core did hold up - for a while. Cores were the last component of both towers to fail. Again this is obvious enough watching the collapses. But the cores were part of the integrated system that made up the Twin Towers and quite incapable of remaining standing on their own AND of course the collapse process heavily damaged the cores, primarily through beam strip down. 3. Not true. I can name several. Also, _first time in history_ or _only time in history_ (either way) are obvious logical fallacies. And don't forget the physical damage from the aircraft impacts. This is where so many people lose the plot; single-element (non)thinking. Twin Towers collapses required four primary elements; Impact Damage _ Fire + Time + Gravity = collapse. Invariably though these discussions become _Impact Damage_ *OR* _Fire_ while Time and Gravity never even come up. You have to factor in all four elements. 4. Hit by *thousands of tons of burning debris* and burned out of control on at least a dozen or more floors with no fire fighting for several hours. If you are what you claim to be your question should be _How did it last so long_ not _why did it collapse_

    Really useful video. One thing I would like to understand is the lack of resistance from the lower floors in the collapse in terms of how quickly it collapsed. Even if each floor provided a little bit of resistance, why did it fall through like glass, surely 80 floors would make it fall down for longer than it did? Is it just the sheer weight at the top?

    Finally, a serious question. And a good one too. This is genuinely exciting. 👍 OK, so collapse initiates and thousands of tons of debris is falling within the four outer walls, through the open office space. With the exception of a couple of mechanical floors each of the floors is of identical design and construction and only intended to carry the gravity loads normally found on that floor - furniture, equipment and people. As soon as that falling mass hits the first floor those 5/8" bolts that attach the floor trusses are going to shear, the floor will break away and join the mass of falling debris free falling another 12 feet to the next floor where the process repeats. Remember, this is one floor at a time. Too many people get hung up on false _block dynamics_ mechanisms of _20 floors can't crush 80 floors_ when it would be more accurate to say 20 floors fail one floor, then 21 floors fail one floor, then 22 floors fail one floor, etc_ It is a progression, not one action. As this progression continues the mass of falling debris increases and its speed increases - each subsequent floor fails just a bit more quickly, slowing down the momentum a little less each time - therefore its energy increases while the (minimal) resistance offered by each subsequent floor is always a constant. This process can _only speed up_ as it progresses. While the floor failure progression starts out somewhat slowly it accelerates to the point it eventually is close to free fall - the average for the whole process being 65% of free fall. Total collapse times for the towers were 31 and 34 seconds respectively, which is exactly what it should have been.

    Your descriptions of the conditions and phenomena are some of the best, most sensible explanations I've heard to date. Unfortunately, I must take issue with some of your animations which show the buildings collapsing in a manner that resembles sinking into a pile of rubble that originates from the base of the building. While the "they collapsed like a controlled demolition" crowd may be quite pleased with our animations, I would suggest a revised edition with the collapse accurately portrayed. As you explained, the buildings began to collapse at about the impact site, with the floors above that point falling as one large mass onto the floors below, causing each floor to rapidly collapse, one after the other all the way down. Otherwise, the information presented seems good. I hadn't heard any mention of how the floors were attached to the structure, or the effects the sagging floors would have had on the outer support structure prior to this video. Looking forward to your WTC7 video.

    That's a great presentation. I do have a problem however with the soda can 'experiment'. Let's say due to bending of the steel beams suddenly it lost support for so many floors (it would be more gradually), the weight you push on the can does in no way reflect what happened to these buildings. Thats like 1000 times its weight.

    I would say then you missed the point of the demonstration. The pristine can (representing a column) can hold 4,000 times its own weight. If you bend a column (or can) its ability to support a load drops off dramatically - by up to a factor of 4. The demonstration illustrates how bent columns are weaker than straight ones. Now watch the Gary Pollard video linked in the description, particularly the first 12 seconds. Your other post contains numerous factual errors and an obvious logical fallacy. We can address that later. First off, what do you see in the Pollard video?

The separated upper part should have toppled off when it was tilting which can be seen in the video. Though it doesn't, it gets corrected right away to fall perfectly vertically in its own footprint. From the perspective from the front you will see the first thing which is coming down is the antenna, so the section at the very top of the building. In another video when one of the towers is down you will see remaining standing vertical beams which EVAPORATE in a few seconds: turn into dust. You go on and deny everything calling it whatever to suit your flawed theory.
