Are you an engineer or did you get this from somewhere reputable? Or did you just make something up just now?
I think the controlled demolition proponents are so convinced of their beliefs that they fail to look at other simple explanations. KISS: The South Tower collapsed first because it had more weight above the heat-weakened damaged area causing more stress.
Why would they collapse the South Tower first if they were trying to imitate a natural collapse? Peter said all sorts of unpredictable screw-ups occur and maybe some CD devices had snafus that caused this. But if you stop to think how they would have fixed that it ventures into the preposterous. No chance it was because the South Tower had more weight above the impact zone that caused the collapse earlier than the North Tower? It sort of makes sense doesn't it?
