7. "the building will come straight down"

None of the WTC buildings really came "straight down," but getting a building to fall as straight down as possible isn't complicated: You just need to remove all the supports at the same time. Since that's not what happened in any WTC building -- all of the collapses were asymmetric to some extent -- the debris is widely scattered. Getting most of a building to fall into a specified place (whether it's "into it's own footprint" or to one particular side) can be very complicated (and also limited by physics), so trying to do it without an expert is not advised. For example, WTC 7 fell to the north and damaged more buildings, which would have been avoided by falling in on itself or falling to the south. Best not leave that sort of thing to chance.

Furthermore, it seems you'd need an expert anyway to inform you which buildings couldn't be brought down by your proposed demolition method.

I guess we don't need all the demolition experts then. ConcernedCanuk Aug 2013 #5

"the building will come straight down" William Seger Aug 2013 #7

WTC7 came straight down in terms of its E and W walls remaining plumb. Ace Acme Oct 2013 #9

Pointless point William Seger Oct 2013 #10

Point: it came straight down absolutely for most of its fall. Ace Acme Oct 2013 #11

Hmm, good point -- except for being wrong William Seger Oct 2013 #12

Oh brother, read it again: The CURTAIN WALL panels are not in the model William Seger Oct 2013 #16

Are you claiming that the perimeter columns fell down with the rest of the structure Ace Acme Oct 2013 #17

Umm, no William Seger Oct 2013 #18

What you expect is not what NIST's models show Ace Acme Oct 2013 #19

You are pointlessly running around in circles William Seger Oct 2013 #20

You seem to be obfuscating Ace Acme Oct 2013 #21

Obfuscating? You seem to not understand much of what I say William Seger Oct 2013 #22

It's not my fault I don't understand what you say Ace Acme Oct 2013 #23

I can explain it to you; I can't understand it for you William Seger Oct 2013 #24

You're going in circles Ace Acme Oct 2013 #25

Here we go round the Mulberry bush William Seger Nov 2013 #27

You believe that the perimeter columns remain standing when the interior of the building fell down. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #30
