I believe you are wrong. The potential energy of those upper floors was immense. The statement that they could only destroy it's own mass has zero basis in Physics. Even if you were right, which you absolutely are not, you can add the mass of the collapsing floors and be wrong by your own rules.

Beliefs don’t trump laws of physics. The top portion and bottom portion would crush each other equally during collapse. And since the bottom portion was stronger than the top portion, it is physically impossible to crush anything larger than its own mass. For every action there is equal and opposite reaction. You are ignoring basic laws of physcs taught to grade school children. As is anyone who thinks the tower collapse happened as explained by the (((news))).
The top portion does not get to stay as a whole chunk while crushing a stronger structure below it. Not possible.

You think you have anything more than beliefs in this World?
You left out the acceleration due to gravity, you daft cunt rat. Understand? Apologize once you figure out the error in your belief.
