In reply to the discussion: 9/11 Physics: "You Can't Use Common Sense" [View all]William Seger
(11,050 posts)34. Yes, if even one floor collapsed, total collapse was inevitable
...and the WTC towers were probably two-floor collapses. Your reply insults this board even more than it insults B&Z.
But speaking of liars and buffoons, look on the bright side: That means that BushCo didn't need to plant magical silent explosives all the way down the building. They only needed those magical suck-bombs that bent the floors and buckled perimeter columns inward, over a period of 20 minutes, to initiate the collapse. And since magical suck-bombs would presumably be silent, that explains why we don't hear anything resembling a controlled demolition in any WTC videos. Mystery solved.

No, as that paper explains repeatedly, calculations of the real life physical process were not done.
