Jim,
Frankly I am not qualified by experience to describe smoke from collapses or explosions and collapses of DEWs.
The towers came down over a period of perhaps 15 seconds. This means whatever was happening was taking place over time. A progressive collapse takes time. A nuclear explosions take a instant... I don't know how a DEW works and we all know that in a CD charges go off over a few seconds and then the structure collapses and depending on how much of the structure was destroyed by the blasts, and its size will dictate how long it takes to collapse.
CDs rely on gravity after the structure's columns are rendered incapable of supporting the loads they were carrying.
When structures collapse they break apart. Structure with concrete which involved crushing and grinding of the floors (and columns and beams if they are made of concrete). .. and the gypsum wall board turn to dust some of which remains air born as the heavier material falls to earth.
As they say... it takes a long time for the dust to settle and in this case it is literally what we are seeing... the moment after the collapse before the dust has settled. Seeing that in a video will provide a time context and you can see the cloud of dust being blown to the SE by the prevailing wind.
Context supports meaning. Something taken out of context (in this case your image from time) is deceiving. I am not trying to deceive... and you may not be either. But you are BEING deceived and trying to get others to join your ignorance.
I'm not playing. Most others aren't either. Get used to it.
