There are four major structural subsystems in the towers, refered to as the exterior wall, the core, the floor system, and the hat truss..The first, the exterior structural subsystem, was a vertical square tube that consisted of 236 narrow columns, 59 on each face from the 10th floor, to the 110th floor

Man, 236 pieces of square tubing on the exterior walls of every floor from 10-110..Thats a whole lot of thermite, which would have to be strapped around the tube because its square..On the other hand if TNT were used, one would have to torch cut to weaken every, or damn near every column on a huge number of floors..You would litterally have to strip the interior walls right out to do the job, and put in new walls, paint, wallpaper, rugs, etc and thats only the exterior walls, never mind the rest of the construction

I dont see that happening

It would be more productive instead of the incessant "yes he did, no he didn't" arguement.

No. It means taking in mainstream information (or from anywhere) and coming to your own conclusions. Not just parroting what you've absorbed from other sources. All this repetition has a lot of the parrot about it ... "Polly want an empirical cracker ... rawk, rawk ... relevant expert."

I am not having any of you characters telling
me what I said when I didn't say something.
This has nothing to do with semantics.

So if this tower was so fragile as to collapse in the manner it did how did it survive the bombings from 1993?

You're comparing bombs in the basement with fully loaded 757's crashing into the towers at 500+ miles per hour and an hours worth of unfought fires?
A new low.

You ignore the work of all those experts and instead rely more on obtuse comparisons and coincidences.

Flown by sex mad martyrs with university degrees and GPS calculators.
Hilarious. Those guys were hardly relevant experts and look at the havoc they wrought.
