A core of lefties is having no footing in the world of reality, physics, engineering or any applied arts.

The World Trade Centers, unique buildings, had all their structural support on the outside. All those nice stainless clad vertical members. Explosives, tons of them, each in 40 pound packages per member would of had to been drilled, placed, taped. No one would see that. Further, miles of demotion cord would have to be snaked. No one would see that, or that being done. The cord would have to be joined. It would require a team of men, for weeks, or more, and that would be if it was done overtly.

Not to mention the flying jets that a hundred thousand people saw.

And supposedly, the demolition team was so expert that they could factor in a massive burning for hours, near the demolition cord and explosives.

Yeah right. As that fat, ignorant, billionaire said, “Every knows steel can’t melt”.

Apparently, those you accuse are not the only ones with a reality problem...

Your statement is inaccurate and has no footing in the world of reality.

World Trade Centers 1 and 2 had 47 immense columns at their core (an 87' x 135' area at the center of each floor which housed the elevators, stairwells, restrooms, utility shafts and support spaces). These 47 core columns ran from the bedrock, below the building, all the way to the top of the building. The 59 perimeter columns, on each side, which you mentioned, carried almost all of the lateral load and only shared the gravity load with the 47 core columns.

In actuality, the things that may not have any footing in the world of reality, physics, engineering or any applied arts are the explanations for the near free-fall symmetrical collapse of World Trade Center buildings 1, 2 and 7, especially explanations that fail to mention, and factor, the core columns. Building 7, of course, was a 47 story structure, which symmetrically collapsed, at near free-fall speed, and which had not been struck by an aircraft.
