I managed a concrete testing lab and several concrete plants for 12 years. As soon as I saw the towers collapse into dust I knew it was bullshit. Steel reinforced concrete does not pulverize into dust. Even if the "Pancake" theory was true the building would not have exploded and blow out. It would have stacked, like pancakes and either stopped or toppled over one of the sides.
Break, collapse, fall, lean, crumple, buckle, and crack but it sure as hell does not pulverize into powder.
Little known fact: As long as moisture is present concrete will always gain strength. Moisture in the inside and outside of the building, condensation, etc. The concrete in those buildings was stronger in 2001 than when they were built in the Seventies.

Same with the Bali bombing, they had concrete vaporized so that you could see the rebar sticking out. At 40 yards from the 'car bomb'. Total nonsense, whatever hit that thing was way way way way stronger than a simple terrorist bomb.
They said it was a truck bomb made from Nitrates while they were pulling unexploded bombs from inside the building and actually reporting the bombs being removed live on TV. People still believed the truck bomb bullshit.
Because I do not know. What would it take to make concrete break up like it did? I remember there were some HUGE ass girders in the base of the towers.
The entire building was made of huge ass girders. All the concrete was steel reinforced meaning there are webs of steel bars inside the concrete, it helps the concrete hold together when stressed.
I have no idea what would make concrete pulverize into dust, but it isn't from falling.

And then there is always building 7.

That reminds me of The OK city Bombing.
They said it was a truck bomb made from Nitrates while they were pulling unexploded bombs from inside the building and actually reporting the bombs being removed live on TV. People still believed the truck bomb bullshit.

A caveman could watch that implosion and know something wasn't right.
