You don't have to be a structural engineer to figure out the collapse of the 9/11 buildings, you just had to watch while they were building them.
The first thing they did was build the straight up and down structure.
Then the built the TOP FLOOR inside the bottom of the structure, raised the top floor up to the top, just like an elevator inside an elevator shaft, welded hundreds of holding brackets to keep it securely in place.
Did the same thing to the floor below the top floor, the floor under it all the way down to the bottom floor.
The holding brackets, designed to hold fifty percent more weight than needed, worked well for each floor but not near enough to support two floors when the weakened floor above it came crashing down.
They easily pancaked all the floors under them, and pulled the collapsing outside structure down with them.

Put this thing in context...so we can understand what you are trying to say. In fact, why not stop "trying to say it"...and actually say it!
@Rickoshay75,
you certaily understand that this foroum has been overly gifted with the babblings of several of the "9/11 was an inside job" gang that most of us wonder what the point of any new 9/11 thread is.
SO far youve not said anything substantive Rick.
I say the Venutians did it . . . i got film, but i'm tired of the close-minded ridicule, so i ain't postin' it again . . .
I need a detailed explanation to understand what you exactly what to say ??

It was not an inside job. Major damage weakened the structure, and it all came tumbling down
@Rickoshay75,
Well why didnt you tell me you were a CAtholic!! welcome aboard!
@Rickoshay75,
An Accordian Failure!
One only has to remember that tall buildings, like bridges, are not in a least energy state, and an accordian stretched vertically will fall closed. I can easily buy that explaination better than most of the conspiracy structures.
As an example of a vell researched multi floor failure look at the Kansas City Tea Dance failure of about 1980 sumpin. The balconies were suspended off of each other rather than separately like called for in the AE drawing. It didn't matter until the balconies were loaded with couples dancing to the music. The top tier fell on the the second tier and both fell to the floor. The difference was it wasn't initiated by a burning plane, just a jive band. And the Construction Engineer went to prison for five years.

You buy the USGOCT because you think the twin towers were built like an "accordian stretched vertically".
That is the wackiest thing I have ever heard from a US government official story conspiracy theorist. Not even farmerman has come up with anything that nonsensical.
Come to think of it, farmerman has never come up with ANY evidence for the USGOCT.

Yeah, that's what he believes. It's the explanation of last resort. Pretty funny.
