However, it is likely that while much of the destruction, after the initiation and first several floors, could have been due to gravity, the corners of the perimeters were very likely separated with some form of charges. You have not accepted this in the past but had no real argument against it and there is clear evidence of it with focused ejections running down the corner in close proximity. The corners would need to be artificially separated as they were stiff and could easily have slowed or stalled a collapse.
The reality may be that the collapse needed less help after it had progressed past the first several floors which were surely instigated artificially, since it is provable that there was no column involvement in resisting it.
The corners were no stiffer ie... the connections than were the sides.. all were the same.
I have not accepted that there was any destruction of the corners.. which would have had to occur every two stories. No evidence of that whatsoever.
The corners were no different and material was pushed out the window/openings... weaker than the columns... just like the side.
You are making stuff up and that won't fly.
