fastom, who I was originally arguing with, did not state F or C, I assumed he meant F.

Well no. the undamaged columns did offer resistance, a lot of it, how ever, the force of a collapsing building is orders of several orders of magnitude bigger
A static load is very different than a dynamic load, the weight of the above tower at rest is very different than when it fell one story, after falling 10-20 feet it exerts much more force than when it is stationary. Place a bowling ball on your foot, it will be very heavy, but not break anything, now drop it 1 inch onto your foot, it hurts like a bitch huh, now 6 inches, then 1 foot, then 2 foot, keep doing this until you realize that the higher it falls the force exerted increases exponentially. Nothing, and I mean Nothing could stop that many floors from dropping.

Never, just showing that a lot of the conspiracy websites are based off of false statements
