They can't do that, as they are connected to the columns, and 5 stories of columns would need to collapse before 5 floor slabs would be free to generate ROOSD. In other words, when the failure occurs at the 98th floor the 99th floor slab comes down onto the 98th floor slab, but not the other 11 floor slabs. They need to wait until their respective columns collapse. So 5 stories of columns would need to collapse before ROOSD would have the minimum number of floor slabs to generate it.
The real problem in the natural collapse theory concerns why the columns aren't resisting.
Tony,
It seems as if the core columns suffered loss of capacity from mechanical strike of the plane, weakening from heat, loss of bracing and this led to the core collapse .. the antenna dropping and the floors falling very rapidly pulling away from the facade...the recovered facade columns truss seats show what sort of forces and motion was in play. The ROOSD mass was being built behind the facade from the collapsing floors of the top section. This is the same as it was in WTC2. And there are reports of a sequence of booms which were likely sections of floor slabs collapsing onto the floor slab below. I don't think these were explosions... why? No reason to sequence them to drop the top... just have them go off all at once. Conclusion: sounds were artifacts of the collapse.. initial floor collisions.
