I see two flaws, and to me they are major ones.
While the point of no modern steel frame building ever collapsed as a result of fire, I did not see the point made that there has never been a modern steel framed building of that size ever struck full on by a modern jet airliner that was virtually full of fuel.
Typical fires reach temps of what? Several hundred degrees. The fuel fed fires were estimated at reaching temps of what? Several thousand degrees.
The second flaw in this theory is that it usually takes months for experts at doing this to plan and place the explosives, which must be done with precision. I have a hard time seeing how the government could send in a demolition team and have them place the large quanity of explosives that it would require for the building to collapse as this group's theory says without someone noticing.
Sorry I just do not buy into this. Until I see something that uses some logic across the board I will stick to the "theory" that the steel in the building were subjected to extreme amounts of heat which caused it to weaken, even totally melt in some locations, and eventually give way. The ultimate cause of the collapse: Jumbo jets piloted by nut cases.
Yes, I admit that the presentation is a bit drear.... but the questions you raise are indeed addressed.
A bomber hit the Empire State Building ... it shows that later.
And, it also shows that most of the fuel from the one plane that hit was shot out the other side, so there wasn't that much left inside.
Then later on it talks about the heat from the fires from the fuel... that bit was harder for me to follow, but some fellows on some other forum found that bit the most compelling...
did you watch it far enough to see the "hot spot" material...? and the cut columns?
I went and got what one of the fellows wrote:
