Bandaged ice that stampedes inexpensively through
I notice you now talk about the building having collapsed as a single unit. That's not what you said before so be careful what you accuse others of doing.
Please remind me, with links, where I denied that "the building above floor 14 collapsed as a single unit". Alternatively, admit that your implied claim here is also either a mistake or a lie.
Let me remind you. NIST states that the building above floor 14 fell as a single unit. In other words, the top 33 storeys stayed intact and didn't break apart as it fell. So your words about rotations and kinks are pure nonsense.
How can anybody type anything like this and expect to be taken seriously? NIST themselves pointed out the presence of the kink, and at no point suggested that the building above floor 14 fell as an undeformed single unit; nor do they state that the orientation of that single unit remained constant. The kink and the rotation can both be seen in pictures and videos of the collapse, and you've already admitted to the kink yourself. So tell me, in your world, is it impossible to rotate an object without breaking it? It isn't in mine.
(Nor, in fact, do they specifically deny that the upper block broke apart at some point; it's rather obvious that it did, in fact, given the fact that it wasn't still standing after the collapse. Which, of course, rather goes against your bizarre and unconventional definition of symmetry.)
