Look Pavy. I am not going to go off on you because you are trying to give an answer... You gave the same answer many times but none of this gibberish answers any of my questions... This is the same stuff I hear from media and that's where you got it too of course... You have so called knowledge in the field but the average American does not and they babble the same exact sh*t...
Either you both got your BS from the same programmer or EVERYONE is an engineer...

YOU can..? How is that.? Have you ever seen a steel building do this..? Has a steel building ever collapsed from a fire prior to 9-11..? It's what you'd expect..? Who would expect..? This sounds so cut and paste...
So how was it the ENTIRE PLANE went into the floor system without any resistance again..? After all that is what I asked...

Once the columns started losing their bracing at each level and also weakened by the heat the towers were doomed.
Each floor fell and pancaked on the floor below resulting in additional load imposed on the open web joists which overstressed and failed them. Without any lateral support the exterior columns imploded inwards and this is what you saw on TV.

PANCAKED..???? hahaha wow now that's a description I have never heard before when getting the media explanation to how the buildings collapsed.... I would appreciate if you didn't copy them word for word... The towers were "DOOMED"..? do you really talk that way... This all sounds so cut and paste...
So let me ask you a question I actually think you know the anser to... What are the floors made of in that building ...my guess is steel and concreate..? How did the plane completely and ENTIRELY go into these floors BEFORE all this gibberish you are talking about...

If the Sears Tower in Chicago was hit instead it probably could have survived because it has a complete skeleton of columns and beams made of steel which gives it more redundancy to resist the effets of fire.

By heat...? So you are basically ignoring video that suggests that the colums were cut by the wings right..? Heat was why they weaken not because a wings sliced each column... What is the wing span of a 767 and how many columns would have been effected... and how didn't the building instantly collapse..? Oh it was waiting on the heat..? LOL!!!
Look Pavy. if I wanted the MSNBC version I would ask for it... Pavy. since you went to school how about some laws of physics that explain how a plane can COMPLETELY go INTO a floor system as you call it..
For someone who claims to be educated in this field I would say this is a pathetic explanation...
