it didn't "appear" to collapse at the impact site, it didmoementum7 said:Hey leopold.
Exactly, because the collapse appeared to start at the point of impact, on the upper 1/6th of the building on the outside corner, there is no way that there was enough momentum to begin the rate at which the building collapsed from the top down.
Because the damage was done near the top of the building, each floor should have successively slowed the rate at which the building collapsed.....instead of the free fall fashion.
Leopold, what is your opinion of the the collapse of the 3rd building, and why it was purposely detonanted?
Thanks.
it seems like each floor should have slowed the collapse but judging from what i know of the construction of wtc1 and 2 that may not be the case
i do not know enough about the construction of wtc7 to give an informed opinion about its collapse
i do know the southwest corner was damaged by either the aircraft or the collapse of wtc1,2. also fires burned inside the building for about 6 hours
