The problem with the collapse theory is that the "collapse" takes the path of greatest resistance in a matter of 10 seconds or less for all 3 buildings. A few storeys of building material is not going to plunge through 80 or more floors to the ground in 10sec. without assistance of some kind. If the planes impact zone hollowed out the structural elements of the twin towers then they would have collapsed almost immediately, and not in a symmetrical way either....
NIST even admitted in their final report that free-fall did occur for 2.3 seconds in the case of WTC7. In order for this to happen, all materials, structural or otherwise would have to be moved out of the way or nullified simultaneously in a precise manner for their to be no resistance.
I find it funny when CaptainCrunch believes certain witness testimony to support the pentagon impact and the supposed "bulge" in building 7 (I'm not saying these things are not true/plausible btw), but then dismisses all the witness accounts of explosions/flashes in the basement/lobby sections of the twin towers and WTC 7 (Barry Jennings). Tons of witnesses saw the flashes, heard the bombs, saw the molten steel under the rubble pile.....
I fully acknowledge the damage to the corner of WTC-7, but it was minor compared to the overall size of the rectangular shaped building. You can go to youtube and see high rise buildings that are damaged from war etc. and they always fall in the direction of the damage, often times remaining intact or breaking into several large pieces and falling over.
Thermitic materials have been found in the dust samples using the scientific method, and it's been replicated at real institutions like the University of Copenhagen and others I cannot remember. This is irrefutable, no matter what the news channels and Popular Mechanics has to say about it. NIST did not even test for the possibility of explosives, and ignored the thermal images showing high temperatures several weeks after the event, so all you have is a bunch of government/media trying to explain it away, and I'm not buying it.
And again ........6 out of 10 9-11 Commission members complained and denounced their own investigation and one even resigned during the process.
There are cases where fire can cause steel to weaken and sag, but not outright melt and fail like a house of cards and plunge through the rest of the structure below it.
Also ...........with regards to the nature of fire. They do not remain stationary. Fire burns up the carpet, desks and chairs and moves along to find more fuel. Fire does not cause collapse of a steel building.
