as romero stated before his retraction, only a few well placed bombs would've been necessary for the manner in which the towers fell. also, the majority of the steel is no longer in possession of the united states. i wonder what percentage of steel made its way to staten? not a whole lot i imagine.
of course, we still have the pesky problem of all those audio recordings of pre collapse explosions and now admitted free fall collapse. 😉
I don't know how much steel made it to the dump on Staten Island, actually. The only part of that operation I know for sure is that the trucks hauling the stuff went somewhere under very tight control.
The route I'd expect they'd take would be across the bridge to Brooklyn on to the Narrows bridge and to the dump. I think my sister said that she saw steel on barges... that was early on when she said it... like maybe end of '01 or early '02...
Ok... if there was only limited placement then I'd not expect there to be signs on darn near every piece.
In the towers:
Aside from the molten stuff ... the anomalies that I'm still wondering about are: Assuming a Bazant scenario... I'd like to have seen some rather long central core columns found and what was found seems to have broken at the 32' welds in all or most cases.. The destruction to the metal parts of all most all if not all the vehicles in the area mainly roof and hood and trunk areas...
Who ever uttered the word 'explosion' in video or audio captures need to be asked what they really meant... aside from those who spoke to the flashes etc.. cuz they mean detonations. And on that issue why did no one inside the buildings relate explosive devices... I guess cuz there were none where they were... duh!!
IF there were detonations of any magnitude why don't I see that reflected in the windows of the floors it occurred on... assuming pre collapse events.
What made floor sections fail way down below the impact zone.. like floor 27 I think it was that hit some fire people in the stairway... maybe it was a lower floor... but the Rodriguez guy found them another stairway to use.. Engine 10 guys.
Five minutes after the plane hit or a bit longer there was an explosion on the ground floor... and it was a fire event it seems... folks were alive as they scrambled out the elevators... that seems too long a time for jet fuel to be the cause.
What was floor 34 used for? It was empty of offices (Tower two, I think I was told) Not that that is all that important but it seems odd for some reason. The length of time it was empty that is.
How do massive sections fly 600' and embed into other structures.. what energy did that...
There are a few others but the main one above all the rest of them is: There is only so much potential energy available to become kinetic and I can't grasp how the buildings came down so fast... and do all that they did to the stuff inside of them... Sporadic floor collapses preceding the full collapse is one thing but the 'cone of devastation' (the pulverization) seems to occur floor by floor over only 10 or so seconds... and No Jolt... As the top disappears downward... iow, it seems as though each floor was made of already pulverized matter.. (Bazant) as the top came through but the core columns also get broken up... and the exterior as well... I can imagine a Bazant event having exterior and interior columns standing up there as the floors collapsed... The energy to do the column structures is rather large...
Bazant only works if the top bit never meets the lower bit till the end of the journey. The core system seems a bit beyond the collapsing floor bit capability... by an order of magnitude multiple. The exterior does not seem to exhibit that kind of event... to my eye... But, so far it is the best example of how it can happen...
