And while the floors may have been equally spaced, they were not equally loaded.
Wrong... the difference in the floor loads was insignificant compared to the structure that supported the live loads. You are talking about something you don't know much about.... obviously.
Oh, how you must have enjoyed that one.
Explain this to me: Given that we're listening to evenly spaced "booms," and that you hypothetically ascribe the spacing to a reasonable-to-expect series of floor collapses, why wouldn't differing floor loads -- a term which this layman uses to refer to varying levels of resistance based upon varying levels of materials on each floor -- create an asymmetrical series of "booms"?
Unlike some who post on this thread, I am eager to learn -- and the first step in the eradication of ignorance is to acknowledge its presence.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
