Did you consider the possibility that the stairs were in a different part of the building? Did you consider that stairwells are designed to insulate people from the fire on the floor? Read the guys story,the man he rescued wasn't in the stairs, he was on the 81st floor, not barbequed.


I suppose it is possible for enough of the support to be weakened in one part of the floor to cause the whole thing to collapse. No, it isn't

Doesn't the fact that so few people were able to escape from floors above the impact strongly suggest that most were unable to get past the floors that were hit? READ IT AGAIN


Explosion on the ground floor - Again, not sure what you are getting at. Uh, that there was like, an explosion on like, the ground floor.It's not clear from the man's story how closely the explosion he saw preceded the collapse of the building. It isn't? Logic suggests there was some time lag, or he would have been crushed by the building when it fell. Read it again, aloud Are you suggesting that it was some sort of failed or premature demolition explosion? Ding, ding ding!! He get's it!



Even those who argue for the demolition charges theory (which I think is preposterous for many of the reasons cited by others) don't, to my knowledge, suggest the charges were placed at the bottom of the building. Throughout the building, the only way the whole thing could collapse like that.
