Remaining perimeter- (square) and core- (rectangular) columns of the Twin Towers at “ground zero” (amidst deadly radioactive vapors ascending from under the rubble). For those, who forgot how the actual core and perimeter columns of the Twin Towers looked like, there is a reminder in a form of the photos. Just to remind you: each wall of these columns was thicker, than a front armor of a tank. Imagine that the same kind of columns, that belonged to the lower and middle parts of each of the Twin Towers (as well as to the entire length of the WTC-7) were instantly reduced to complete, fluffy microscopic dust, that allowed the upper parts of the Twin Towers to reach the ground at freefall speed – as if under them were not remnants of any steel columns but merely air alone. By the way – the fact, that these particular columns shown on the photos were not pulverized should not mislead you into believing, that the entire steel structure of the WTC managed to survive the pulverization. The thick columns shown on the photos apparently belonged to surviving corners of the Twin Towers that occurred within a “dead space” because the demolition devices were positioned slightly “off-center”, while thinner sections of perimeter assemblies visible in the pile obviously belonged to the undamaged tops of the Towers. On the second picture you can see one of the most famous “Ground Zero” photographs, that shows a red-hot chunk of metal being removed from the North Tower rubble amidst streams of radioactive vapors eight weeks after September the 11th.
