...Using observations and conclusions from a very long history of fires in steel office towers, it would require a great leap of imagination to find any evidence that fires, engineered or by random fluke, can cause the complete collapse of a steel office tower.
Except that there is plenty of evidence that fire can collapse steel, and both LeftySarge and TriForCharity have much more fire knowledge than you, and think it's perfectly possible.
Also, literally no one has argued that fires could deliberately cause the collapse. In fact, we have argued that the odds of deliberately engineering a collapse in such a manner would be nigh-impossible, and certainly too slim for a conspiracy. You have attempted to conflate arson and random fire.
It would require an even greater leap of imagination to accept the likely possibility that this NIST hypothesis of a fire-induced collapse could achieve a visual profile which would be a demolition engineer's wetdream.

About that; CD engineers have repeatedly said they could not have done 9/11, IIRC. The truthers managed to get one to say it looked like a CD...then he changed his opinion when he saw a video with sound.
Your layman's incredulity notwithstanding.
I can just imagine the telephone conversation between the "truther" demo company and the insurance company.
- <TDC> We're a new company and we plan to demolish buildings using the same techniques used on 9/11.
<INS> Excuse me?
<TDC> You know, Start fires so the buildings fall into their own footprint.
<INS> What?
<TDC> What part don't you understand? NIST said fires brought down the buildings.
<INS> OK?
<TDC> We're going to do it the same way.
<INS> OK, for that policy we need 9 billion dollars premium...........In advance.
<TDC> Cool, the lease holder has 10 billion in insurance. We'll make out like a bandit.
No, you don't understand. MM is saying that arson couldn't do it, therefore random fire couldn't do it, therefore it couldn't've been fire, therefore hushananothermite, therefore aliens.
Of course, this is all a lot of nonsense that relies on conflating arson and random fire, and predicting something with determining what has already happened.
Also, he's conveniently stopped responding to me after I doubled down on his attempted "first time in history" gambit.
...
Say, how many people died when WTC7 collapsed anyway? What would be the point of a CD? On a building that you couldn't even gaurantee could be affected by the WTC1 or 2 collapse?
I have repeatedly asked truthers how They knew 7 would be damaged. I've only gotten two answers, ever, both from Clayton Moore, which were basically "science!" and "computers!" with no elaboration.
He cropped the page so floor 33 was at the top. You couldn't see how the lower drawings were numbered but the floors above were marked with ascending numbers. His own video does not support his claim.
