"The combination of the two likely contributed to the ease of each floor pancaking onto the one below."

Those floor connectons were welded ONLY? (No bolts or rivets?) Your observation makes excellent sense to me...

~~~~~~~~

My instantaneous reaction to the initiation of the collapse (I saw it live) was that there were internal demo charges. That lasted only a few milliseconds -- long enough for three or so floors to pancake.

Then I recognized that it was the air between floors being compressed and "squeezed out" by the "piston effect" of the falling upper floors -- and escaping laterally in a big puff of air that only looked like a low VOD explosion. That first, erroneous impression was very fleeting -- then I started watching the four corner verticals slowly spread apart as they guided floor after floor straight down and through that same pancake compression sequence.

At some point, the weight and inertia of the falling "floor stack" overcame the strength of those same floor bracket attachments even on lower, undamaged floors, and the "chain reaction" continued all the way down.

No magic. No sabotage. No explosives. Just heat-weakened steel, gravity, physics -- and the gas laws -- at work...

Absolutely. I believe a couple of those people on Jesse Ventura’s Conspiracy Theory, like that pilot aren’t rational, or totaly truthful.

I do think the FBI got back the black boxes from Airplanes, however in that hot an atmosphere, it is possible they were too damaged, and claiming they had them but no info would look like a conspiracy....so that one I can’t explain, why the 9/11 commission would lie about that.

However 9/11 commission did lie about Sadaam Hussein’s Republican Guard meeting with Al Queda members, there was at least one meet that was proven. Another lie is that NO WMDs were found, because we had several threads about the yellow cake found in Iraq, that Bush soldiers sat on, until it could be removed and shipped to Canada, and sold to a Canadian Company. It was type used to build nuclear weapons.

There was an article on Canada Free Press, and AP revealing that info in 2008. No media actually reported on it, because they were too busy saying none were ever found, and even Bush has kept quiet about it. It was discovered close to Iran border.

NOW FOR SATELLITE PICS, there was a satellite pic before we attacked Iraq showing truck convoys entering Syria from Iraq, because we gave Sadaam a 6 mo notice we were coming. I saw those satellite pics on the news, and I am appalled that they were only played one or two times. Any moveable WMD or chemical warfare barrels were transported to Syria, it was clear what was taking place. Those weren’t mattresses, or towels being escorted to Syria.

NATO has rules of war engagement countries have agreed to after WWII, and we need to throw them in the trash, it’s damaging our troops, and our freedom. No enemy should get a 6 month warning that we are coming, how stupid! Bush had no choice, and American’s do not realize how we are gagged and bound by treaties, and our enemies. We still beat the jackar$$es, with one hand tied behind our back! And they say there is NO GOD...HA!
