this is truly horrific footage, femr2. thanks for uploading.

I think that one explanation for this is an upward rush of very hot air ,coupled with the concrete being pulverised to an almost talc like consistency.
There´s NO way this amount of heat was caused by the dying fire in the tower.
And how can the dust get to such a fine state?

Let the video load in full. Pause. Then drage backand forth from 1:12 to the end of the video. A large darker smoke cloud emerges.
What caused it ?
Again, remember scale. The height of the smoke clouds dwarfs the original towers.

Wow. yeah I see what you mean.
There´s no difference between the pyroclastic movement of a volcano´s ashes and that gigantic plume.
The first wave of smoke could maybe, just maybe explained by the energy from the collapse, but the second..which seems to be even larger?
Good point. I´ve often wondered this myself. How did the initial column of smoke/dust remain static.
The behaviour of the plumes can be seen more clearly if you scrub back-and forth by dragging the video position handle.
In this way you can see:
How the 'ball' of smoke created at collapse initiation expands into a huge spherical smoke mass drifting left.
How the large darker smoke plume emerges from center frame after collapse.
How there is a ridiculous volume of smoke emerging from the right of the frame.
Remember scale. WTC 7 is 147m tall. The plumes are HUGE.
so whats wrong
