9/11 Free Fall 7/18/13: Dr. deHaven-Smith and "conspiracy theory"

[Ace Acme]

44. Core column access from elevator shafts would have facilitated planting

... of demolition charges. That is not "truther bullshit" as you claimed. It is objective fact.

I didn't say that "where the collapses started" was irrelevant. I said that at the 95th floor the loss of the 16 core columns accessible from elevator shafts could arguably cause the core to collapse. Your own diagram shows 13 core columns in the elevator shafts (and 3 more in practical proximity) at the 95th floor. Those in practical proximity in mechanical shafts were accessible by breaking through partitions from the elevator shaft to reach the mechanical shaft.

I didn't parrot any bullshit. The 44th floor floor plan is hardly irrelevant to the collapse of the 44th floor. The collapse of the lower core under no more stress than its own weight--after it had been relieved of its job of holding up the upper 65 floors and after the collapse of the outer floors had concluded--is one of ten essential mysteries that NIST neglected to address in its 10,000 page report.

I do not make indefensible claims. I leave that kind of cynical, useless, and time-wasting activity to you.
