(My previous post wasn't clear who I was responding to, so I'll say it again.)
The videos are out there; the tools are free (I recommend Tracker from Open Source Physics); it's really not that hard to do. [IMHO you should] Do it yourself.
I did.
From OP Thread http://www.internationalskeptics.co...alskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=150934
... THREE. CD explosives-ejected perimeter columns should have outdistanced the dust cloud behind them, they did not.
“Niels Harrit: “We do not know if the thermite that we have found is the same thermite which has been used for melting the beams. It’s very, very possible that different varieties were used, and I personally am certain that conventional explosives were used too, in abundance.”
Russia Today: “When you say “in abundance,” how much do you mean?”
Niels Harrit: “Tons! Hundreds of tons! Many, many, many tons!”

(1) Since we know from the above visual evidence (in refrerenced thread) that explosives/thermite were not placed inside the columns at the hand access holes or near the spandrel plates, the purported explosives could only have been placed in the ceiling lay-in tile plenum offset from the face of the columns a sufficient distance (and still discoverable) and with the necessarily large enough quantity of explosives to have explosively propelled the columns horizontally hundreds of feet.
“ Girders [sic] from the North Tower of the World Trade Center weighing about four tons each were found in the Winter Garden 600 feet away after the towers collapsed. How fast must they have been thrown to land that far away … The girders [sic] were blown out … by explosive charges that were set in the building ahead of time. … You might try pondering how four ton girders [sic] ended up 600 feet from the base of the World Trade Center.” – David Chandler video below.
Here is the answer - large sections of attached, toppled column assemblies at Winter Garden that David Chandler claims below were exploded in pieces 600 feet distant are seen instead wholly attached and toppled onto the ground reaching the Winter Garden.

(2) Proximity and relative height of WTC1 to WTC7 (in picture directly to the left of WTC1) and Winter Garden.(in picture directly below WTC1)

(3) From this video of WTC1 stop it two seconds after failure (at 33sec). The plumes on the right side are about 60 feet from the building. Stop the video two seconds later (at 35 sec). The plumes are about 120 feet from the building.

(4) David Chandler calculates that at this failed floor WTC1 (96th floor), the explosive velocity of the columns propelled 600 feet horizontally onto the Winter Garden would be about 50 mph. At two seconds after failure, this would put the exploded columns at 73 fps x 2 seconds = 146 feet away from the building, outdistancing the dust plumes (60 feet) and should have been visible in the video. They are not. At four seconds after failure, this would put the exploded columns at 73 fps x 4 seconds = 292 feet away from the building, outdistancing the dust plumes (120 feet) and should have been visible in videos. They are not.

(5) Since the expelled columns ahead of the dust plumes are not visible, the columns could not have reached 600 feet by the use of large explosive charges in the ceiling plenum, or elsewhere for that matter, they reached 600 feet by toppling, David Chandler, Tony Szamboti, et al CTs are wrong.

(3) Falling dust clouds, perimeter column sections are seen upright, not crushed, not exploded - then toppling. First video at 36 - 39 seconds, second video at 14 - 17 seconds, lower right offcenter . These videos show a number of critical facts. The top columns/floors block fell without loading/crushing the perimeter columns directly below the initial failed floors. The floors first collapsed past the perimeter columns,the columns remained standing. The columns were not explosively expelled. The columns toppled.

"If you don't like these conclusions you can reject the theories, but you can't reject the facts." -David Chandler.
Conclusions:
All the visual facts confirm the solely gravity collapse of the Towers.
All the visual facts refute the use of explosives/thermite in the collapse of the Towers.
