1) Scientific analysis by comparison: First and foremost. NO steal structures have ever collapsed by fires. All three buildings (owned by Larry Silverstien) made history as being the only steal structures to collapse by fires (at near freefall speed in their own footprint). We will use two hypotheses. 1) Collapse by fire (because collapse by fire is of the official report) and 2) Collapse by controlled demolition (because total collapse of buildings with controlled demolition has prior history and meticulous reports of the occurrences are available along with comparable criteria analysis). Other hypothesis would be considerably less likely than then two criteria offered herein. Was there: a. Sudden onset of Destruction? Yes. This is characteristic of Explosives and not fire. b. Straight down, Symmetrical collapse into footprint of building? Yes. This is characteristic of Explosives and not fire. c. Columns that gave way at the same time allowing building to go straight down in path of most resistance instead of toppling or swaying to weakest side? Yes. This is characteristic of Explosives and not fire. d. Free fall speed in path of most resistance? Yes. This is characteristic of Explosives and not fire. e. Total dismemberment of steel for removal? Yes. This is characteristic of Explosives and not fire. g. Minimal damage to adjacent buildings? Yes. This is characteristic of Explosives and not fire. h. Sounds and flashes of explosives? Yes. This is characteristic of Explosives and not fire. i. Clouds of Pulverized concrete? Yes. This is characteristic of Explosives and not fire. j. Squibs i.e. visible explosions from buildings away from actual impact zone? Yes. This is characteristic of Explosives and not fire. k. Chemical evidence of cutter charges and/or thermite? Yes. This is characteristic of Explosives and not fire. This criteria proves that explosives were more likely the cause of structural failure. Fires cause large gradual deformation & asymmetrical collapses along path of LEAST resistance. Usually in wood buildings and Never befor in steel frame high-rises. 2) Forensic proof (any of which can be proven by film footage, unedited from multiple angles and other references): a. Explosions. b. pulverized concrete. c. horizontal ejections. d. proof of thermite. e. molten metal and fires burning for more than 6 weeks (uncharacteristic of kerosene fires) 3) Eye-witness accounts (any of which can be proven by film footage, unedited from multiple angles and other references): a. First responders. b. news reports. c. laymen on the street.
