The NIST simulations show the perimeter columns as well as the core columns.



The perimeter columns were certainly structural. If you removed them, the floors would fall down.

The NIST sims bear no resemblance to reality becausee they show the building folding up like a wet paper bag. Claiming they do bear a resemblance to reality because they show the collapse of the penthouse is like saying a fly resembles a bear because they both have two eyes.

Why would "they" hypothetically cut the floor beams on the 46th floor to cause the penthouse collapse? Can you really not imagine why? Do I really have to tell you? You really haven't thought very much about these things, have you?
