With those two factors the odds of the building imploding upon itself without tipping in any direction is a million to one. The odds of two buildings doing it is 1,000,000,000,000 to 1. But what about 3 buildings, where the third building isn't even hit by anything more than debris?

In the entire human history there have only been 3 steel frame high rise buildings that completely imploded upon themselves due to fire. There have been many horrific fires in high rise, steel framed buildings, but only 3 imploded. All three collapsed on 9/11 at the World Trade Center. We have had fires that raged for 24 hours without them collapsing, yet the two towers both collapse after little more than an hour, and building 7 collapses about 8 hours after the attack.

Any forensic investigation of this fire would look at the steel. However, in this case the forensic investigators were not given access to the steel, it was guarded by the US military and shipped to China to be recycled.

Neither the directional force, nor the immediate explosions brought down either building. But they did start a process whereby the infrastructure was progressively weakened by the file, eventually leading to the collapse of the affected floors. And with the weight of the floors above now dropping downward, the lower floors began to collapse in sequence all the way to the bottom.

If there had only been the physical damage on the side of entry and no explosion to spread the destruction across the affected floors, or if the impact had immediately caused the building to collapse, then your presumption about the odds it would fall straight down might be correct.

But the infrastructure held. There was serious damage, but it could have continued to stand. Possibly.

Except for the extreme fire that then began to work on the integrity of the steel structure. No more lateral motion. An explosion that would have taken in roughly the entire floor(s) affected, not just a corner of the building.

Now it might not be controlled like an intentional demolition. But the factors are beginning to become more equal across the floors. Two planes, fully fueled, early in their flights striking into buildings. The explosions and fires would have been sufficient to spread the destruction thoroughly across the affected floors, therefore be somewhat uniform.

So are you suggesting that the U.S. govt either was in on the attacks, or knew enough to have charges set at the right places to help the buildings come down neatly when the attack finally happened?
