    This just in: scientists have determined that a more direct cause for the towers falling than defective spray-on fireproofing may exist. Rumors have begun to circulate that the WTCs collapse may be attributed to the two aircraft which collided with them. Details at 6.

    (I kid, I kid)

      Well, it would’ve collapsed either way, as you can see on the pictures during the fire that the metal is starting to buckle uniformly around the entire floor with the fire. But patches without insulation probably meant that it collapsed sooner than it could’ve.

      Didn’t help anyone trapped, so the net result is the same in that I fail to see how 30 minutes extra before it crumbled would’ve made any difference
