That's a pretty good question. Was the entire building rigged so they could detonate charges on just the right floors? Nothing's impossible in Trutherland, I guess. (Imagine one of the planes crashing before it hit its target. Now we have a 110-story building wired for demolition and a hell of an explanation problem...)

Had those two planes hit only the very tops of the WTC towers, say only the top 6 floors and then collapsed, I could understand some conjecture about if they were rigged for demolition.

The energy stored above the actual plane's impact zones is what caused them to collapse.

That combined with the fact that the two towers were designed in a cantilever style construction as well as having been built at a time when cost was a factor (less steel and thinner steel with just the right amount of tensile strength to do the job it was meant to do) is what caused them to collapse.

That reminds me of WTC 7.

Coincidence?

Or, was it the devastating result of the law of propinquity, as has been stated over and over again.

Good girl, bad girl = bad girl, bad girl. Hey, it works as an explanation for the neural spread of crazy-assed prions.

Did you even bother to LOOK at the memo itself that was from the Joint Chiefs of Staff and SIGNED OFF by the Joint Chiefs of Staffs?

It was presented to McNamara and shot down. At times I wonder if Kennedy wasn't killed in part because of his refusal to stoop to such tactics.

And it isn't a fallacy when it's in black and white in front of your face! Like the memo you did not even look at!

Speaking of which...the BBC reported that WTC7 collapsed 20 some minutes in advance of it actually collapsing.

Oh, and the transcript of the actual interview with Andreas Von Bulow is out there on the Net (I heard the actual interview and it's been pulled from this site below where I heard it), but it's fascinating. If anyone is interested, I'll post the interview with Der Spiegel which has now been translated into English.
