  • Core on core design. It's weakness was the outer core relied on the thin floor trusses for their strength

  • 3:28 shows closer to the true relative thicknesses and spacing of core columns.

    These core columns could easily carry the entire weight of the buildings, multiple times over (heavily redundant) all by themselves.

    This video improves at the end.

  • @ 2:15 central columns are shown far, far smaller than they actually were.

    Many of the core columns (the four corners and the outer perimeter of the core column) were 52 inches by 22 inches and 5 and 6 inches thick at the base. These columns were also double box columns (sort of like a concrete block) with steel also in their centers up to 6 1/2 inches thick!

    The remainder of the solid steel core columns were 36 inches by 16 inches with a thickness of 4 inches at the base.

  • @ 1:37 he says, "But neither the outer skeleton nor (sic) the inner core could stand alone."

    Lie. Both the outer columns and the inner core columns were capable of carrying the entire load on their own, to multiples.

  • @ 0:47 - A lie. He says, "... so most of the load on the building was transferred to the outer walls..."

    The core columns were made of far, far stronger and thicker columns anchored into the bedrock. The core columns carried the great majority of the load - not the outer columns.

    The central columns were designed to carry many times the weight of the entire building on their own. The outer columns likewise could carry the entire weight of the building alone, even with a plane hole.

  • ABSOLUTE SHIT OF BASTARDS!!!

  • @BadBoriBoy LOL, you're just avoiding the point. The structural design of the Twins was crap.

  • @BadBoriBoy HaHaHaHaHaHaHa

  • @steveo1274 What planes,I`ll do your homework for you,look at an image of a J.A.S.S.M. AGM 158 missile.Something similar to this was flown into the towers.

  • @bgdrewsif If it was filmed by thousands then WHERE are all the different views of the videos??.You are Illinformed,there are no more than about 15 different views of film.PROVE otherwise.
