Everybody understands and accepts that there was damage caused by the airplane strikes. At least I certainly do, and always have. People differ on whether that damage was "massive" or not. Considering it affected only about 10 floors out of 110, the word "massive" is exaggeration, all the way.
And a little bad news for you: in case you have not paid attention to the NIST report, it said that in addition to whatever damage was caused by the airplane strikes, the cause of the "collapse" was burning office furnishings.
And of course NIST did not mention the explosions in the basement described by Willy Rodriguez and others present in the North Tower BEFORE the airplane strike there.
Yes Fabulous Jack, your boys at NIST said that burning office furnishings were what caused the "collapse". Not only did your boys at NIST fail to address the significance of the basement explosions, it failed to address the lateral ejection of large structural pieces hundreds of feet horizontally.
The reason it did not address those things are several. First, NIST report was a political coverup, and was conducted in large part by one of George Bush's "very best friends". Secondly, it was only window dressing, meant to satisfy gullible members of the public like yourself, while protecting the guilty parties that were responsible for those explosions in the basement and those lateral ejections of large structural pieces.
It's really quite simple Jack, but one MUST be curious, and one MUST open one's eyes.
