Some Misunderstandings Related to WTC Collapse Analysis

[Albert Doyle]

NIST also determined the failure initiated at the 98th floor and their analysis here matches those of others and is not in dispute.

Sure. The 98th floor is well within the 93rd floor to 99th floor impact zone. You fail to comprehend that it is perfectly reasonable that the collapse would appear to start on the 98th floor because that was the first level of stable, intact structure vs the unstable, wrecked structure below it that gave out. The load's "center of gravity" was redistributed to the first intact level, the 98th floor. When the area below that failed this intact area dropped as one unit creating the appearance of the collapse starting on the 98th floor, which technically it did, but was caused by the floors below it failing.
