Some Misunderstandings Related to WTC Collapse Analysis

[Albert Doyle]

Only 1/3rd of perimeter columns were spliced on any given floor. So your hypothesis is incorrect.

Not if you correlate it to the actual conditions in the tower. The damage area in the tower was from floor 93 to floor 99. This would easily cover all the splices in the drop area. Plus the actual dynamic involves the antenna dropping, so the entire 12 floors were having a catastrophic failure that would involve all relevant members from the roof line to the 93rd floor. You have to understand the totality of the event as it corresponds to everything involved. The floor pads flanged the perimeter skirt just enough to drive the top section like a wedge down the shaft of the outer frame.

You can't seriously believe the focused jets we see emanating from the building are form pressure due to floor collapses. Logically that pressure would be spread over a wide area.

That's exactly what they were. If they were explosives charges where was the residue? Explosives are made of identifiable chemicals. For the third time, where were the detonation flashes seen in all other controlled demolitions? The tower had glass windows on all sides. You have an Ashley Banfield sound analysis for the blasts in Building 7. Where is that analysis for these very prominent timed demo charges? You can't tell me demo blasts seen so prominently on the collapse video made no such recordable sound? Time you gave an answer for that. As I've explained in detail, the compressed air pressure blasts would occur with each floor pad as it collapsed on the one beneath it. Funny how that's exactly what you see in your video. The pressure would escape out the point of least resistance - which is exactly what you see with those jets escaping out the windows.

In the meantime a second escape point would be inward and into the inner core column. Your thinking is somewhat 2 dimensional. Unfortunately this is a three dimensional problem best shown by animated illustration of the key dynamics involved as they occurred. As each pad crashed it created the pressure blast jets you see. The relevant dynamic is that of each blast as it occurs in a split second and drives the outer frame outward and inner core inward. You don't seem to fathom that the tower design was an inadvertent self destruct design as the pneumatic blast from each pad destroyed the column supports as its force was aimed horizontally. At the point of those jets the force driving the pads was the mass of all the debris above it shooting down the shaft. You fail to understand that the dust jets you cite on video are those very blasts appearing right in the right place at the right time as this phenomenon occurred. If your theory of CD initiating the collapse were true those dust jets are far too late into the process and are not seen earlier on the upper floors.
