Why didn't you just say what they all say ? 'Where's your calculations' lol
Here's your math:
A WTC tower was 1200 ft tall and 110 floors.
The concrete was 4 inches thick per floor. Round that up to 12 inches per floor for the truss supports, etc. That means 110 ft of "content".
If you suck all the air out of the towers, the resulting pile would be something more than 110 ft tall.
That's about 12 floors high, still within 210x210 footprint.
About 6 floors of that sunk into the basement. That's almost half the volume.
Each tower was one acre in footprint in a plaza about 24 acres in size.
The debris (6 floors worth) that didn't sink into the basement was spread over 24 acres, for two towers, that's 12 times the footprint.
