The speed of collapse was in the neighborhood of 65 mph... and so the floor impacts would be at that speed. This wasn't an internal combustion engine in 4th gear so there would be some variance. That speed means a collision about every .01 seconds... about 10 per second once it get up to speed.
A CD presumably blow out the structure at the base... not sequentially up the tower... as it is done in 99% of building CDs. Would the explosions be those at the various columns below the top section? There were about 45 below the typical floors with 81 columns.
What was being exploded? Are you suggesting one acre of concrete per floor per explosion along with the column connections? You're not suggesting the building was vaporized by these explosions are you?
We don't have an historical record of 50 story buildings collapsing as a reference. Nor do we have any CDs of that size. This is virgin territory any way you look at it.
So what do the CD experts say about how to take that tower down...not what it looks like. It looks like a building collapsing. It was!
The swaying cause is yet to be determined. I don't know that thermite could weaken the frame. It's not been proven to have been there AND it was supposedly on a thin layer in the paint. How would that work on steel plates 2" thick?
