This is rather important to your theory.
But what about the supporting steel "trusses" underneath every floor? What about the thick steel beams running vertically from deep into the ground up to the 110th floor?
So it was much more than 4 inches X 110.
And you have to account for all the dust spread all over town. And you have to account for the continuing fumes that emanated from Ground Zero for more than a year.
The steel beams around the core elevators might survive (some were quite stout), however the trusses would be bent over sideways. They're rather deep and are comprised of very light steel sections. They can't handle any forces except pure vertical.
This is utter BS. The steel beams of the WTC were made to handle the horizontal forces of a hurricane. Ignorance bothers me. Steel doesn't turn into dust if you subject it to an office fire.
Ignorance bothers me too. Why do you claim to understand how the towers were built and then make a post like this? It show very clearly you don't know what your talking about.
I hope you aren't saying that the Twin Towers were built in such a way that they had no resistance to horizontal forces. This would be stupid. Hurricanes happen, and those buildings withstood many storms during their years, although not a direct hit from a hurricane.
Wind presses against a building horizontally. Of course the Twin Towers were built with strong resistance to horizontal forces. To say anything else is bizarre.
Skyscrapers collapsing? Give me one other example.

Yes. Look at the pictures of the recovery efforts. You will note that, where there were once huge buildings, there was a relatively short pile of debris.

The steel of the World Trade Center became dust, almost entirely.
I have been at JREF since 2006, and this is the biggest, purest, 100% lie I have ever seen.
I have never been so confident of a statement being a lie, than this one.

You're point? I'm talking about during the immediate aftermath of 9/11. Not after they had already begun moving things around.
Have you ever looked at what's left after a fire? Dust. Lots of it. Wood ash, paper ash, soot - it's all, more or less, dust.
What is it with truthers? A three-year-old can see how stupid this idea is.
