What you had were several thousand degree fires causing the girders to give way. It’s my understanding that these towers had been built to sustain a 727 hit. They weren’t built to sustain a 747 hit fully loaded with fuel.

The construction of two towers was unusual. The exterior of the building actually tied into the structure allowing them to avoid using other types of support. Once one floor went, other pancaked.

You have to realize the weight of those structures above where the 747s impacted the buildings. Once those began to pancake, the weight couldn’t be stopped crashing down floor by floor.

Part of the reason why those floors looked like charges had been set is because as each floor collapsed, there was a massive rush of air out of the structure on each floor due to compression. This resembled explosions at each level. It wasn’t.

Close a book in your home. Note the air escaping as you close it. Same thing, bigger scale.
I would urge you to go slow with this.

I appreciate that.
however
all the idiots want to paint a picture based on the CIA imploding the buildings.
There have been many a story and movie created on horseshit.

Zeitgeist was one.

As we can see, they have airtime one more time....

Uhmmm... No 747s hit the WTC. Either building, Or the Pentagon. Or a field in Pennsylvania.

If you can't tell the difference between a 747 and ANY other airplane, why should I believe anything else you propose?

The WTC towers were built to survive one aircraft hit.

They weren’t built to survive one hit to each tower.

The water supply was adequate to supply the sprinkler system of one building; it wasn’t adequate to supply the sprinkler systems of both buildings simultaneously.
