lets stop arguing about whether it collapsed or not. let's just all agree that this was a horible tragedy, with casualties that should not have been.

[chrysaor911]

Thanks hagem.... your totally correct....regardless of anything this was a absolute tradegy that should never of occured...god bless the victims, survivors and familys of everyone involved

It does seem weird on how the entire building would collaspe. Considering there would be weaker corners from the impact of the planes. Like an axmen would cut the tree to fall in a certain direction. The tops would've done the same I think, and the entire buildings would've never fully collaspe.

[chrysaor911]

i agree SR . . the top of the building could possibly of fallen but for the whole structure to fail...i cant imagine how this would happen during a collapse of that type

[realistromeo]

wow it gets blown out and it apears to get sucked back in! it's like the dust and debris wants to go outward but is pulled back in by the free fall of the remaining mass!

Makes sense tho/ who wants to deal with a potential 35+ storey rubble pile...got ridd of the concrete check,got ridd of welded joints check, steel cut in managable pieces...check. you would think there would be bodies..i mean there would have had to be people trying to reach the roof or the top most floors?

[chrysaor911]

Absolutly... most people should of been recovered. . .example..Kobe Japan 1995 Earthquack (ie collaping buildinds/ fires)- Over 5,200 people died - 26,253 injured - 52,579 buildings damaged. 290,000 homeless only 125 people were unrecovered! As yet over 1000 people are unrecovered from ground zero.

why when the collapse progressed the perimeter columns were ejected but the northeast corner moved backward?

[EliseBeaXoX]

The entire building collapsed because the fire coating was eliminated in the initial explosions, so the fire burned the steel and the top fell down crushing the floors beneath it, some of the outer shell remained because of the tube on tube design where all of the support was on the perimeter to allow offices an open floor plan. So stop with the conspiracy theories because There was a logical explanation. It was an actual event, by actual terrorists.

@kopwner Lucky them

[RIPTheRevofA7X]

I hate how in the Inside The World Trade Center movie that they told people to go back into where they were working like seriously why would you tell them to get back into their offices if theirs a chance of the building collapsing. I would get the hell out of their screw what the firefighters say RIP all those who died.

[ShiftConttrol]

ok the reason it fell wasnt because of the plane crash.... ppl seam to miss that... the burst of the crash blew the fire protectice coating off... the jet feul melted the exposed steal. the weight of that brought the level down and then it was a cycle from then

[blueb0g]

@SRt4Chris401 Wrong. Consider the design of the WTC itself. No concrete casing. Consider the top 30 floors of the building acting as an indipendant block, falling of its own accord, crushing the floors beneath it as it fell, failing both the perimiter and central collumns and destroying the floors and roofs.

yes it was a tragedy, that was made by USA, what a shame, kill so many inocent people just to have fake reasons to get into iraq, just because of petroil... and now that they "killed" (looool) bin laden, what are the troops doing there? the job its done, get the fuck out of there, leave them alone, make war against the real killers, or USA people just see what they want? If they told you that god did that, you would bealive it ... open your eyes.. you brought this to yourselfs....
