Location of initial structure failure correctly identified. Cause pure speculation and not evidence to support this... other than your political beliefs. The stairs being in the cure were adjacent to core columns... but all the vertical shafts very what was defined by core columns.
The columns were certainly not involved in the collapses and the only plausible explanation I can think of is controlled demolition with devices eliminating their ability to provide structural resistance. In addition to the lack of column involvement and no deceleration problems for a natural collapse in the North Tower there is also video evidence of focused and concentrated blowouts which can only be from squibs. See this short video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSApOavkHg8
Squibs... you don't know what caused the material to be ejected other than over pressure and there are many things ASIDE from bombs which cause over pressure.
Don't you understand that the building got stronger as you moved down the tower? It was a virtual pyramid strength wise. The columns under the 28 story load on the South Tower were built to withstand an average of four times the load above them, just like the columns under the 12 story load on the North Tower were built to withstand an average of four times the load above them. The further down you went the bigger the columns got to handle the bigger load above them.
Column strength had not to do with resisting the collapse. You know it was the floors which broke free, where shattered and flowed down inside the tower with no column involvement. The facade columns fell away after losing bracing and the core collapsed from Euler caused instability.
So why didn't the perps just burn all those SEC files with a few cans of gasoline? They chose the simple operation to dismantle (according to AE911T) a floors of 81 columns?.... or more likely the joints / connections of the massive transfer structures which supported the 40 stories of the core over the Con Ed sub stations.
Take of your blinders and be intellectual honest about the observations and learn to distinguish between your speculation driven by your bias and the actual observations and data. Yes CD could produce the observations... but there is no evidence for it and the heat was weakening those connections leading to the global failures. You refuse to accept this causality as possible. I think you are incorrect. False certainty on your part.
And no need to call someone who disagrees with you a plant or agent of the fascists. That, Tony, is very telling. Attack the character of those who disagree with you. A cheap shot and rather unconvincing... especially without a smidgen of evidence.
