And the physics would show when you put enough heat into structural steel from burning jet fuel, it loses strength and the structure collapses. And yes, you also need to look at the chemistry/metallurgy of the event.

Ya physics doesn't lie. Ever stood on a pop can and touched the sides? That is what happened to the airplane that hit the Pentagon.
The point of failure was the pint of impact. You didn't know that in advance. No eye witness reports of demolition activities after impact. And not disruption to the building before impact.

Point of impact was point of failure. The airplanes brought the buildings down.
Why were the people allowed to board the airplanes with box cutters? That is the question. They had plenty of advance notice to just talk to them about the box cutters.

It doesn't collapse in a freefall motion. That would require leaning (tipping over), or pancaking. Neither of which happened on 9/11.

I'm talking about WTC. Impossible for a lateral impact to cause freefall motion.

Although caused by the airplanes, there were multiple points of failure as one floor pancaked onto another.

Yes, the government lies all the time. I believe that. What about physics (and, if you want to use physics, it's "physics don't lie")? Belief is relevant when we have to take the word of others.
The Law of Conservation of Energy.
Every engineer takes this in college. In order to convert gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, there needs to be external work in the system. The buildings were struck and did not go into freefall. The freefall event happened over an hour after.
The structural steel explanation is ludicrous, as that would require pancaking from the upper floors. The demolition happened from the bottom, dude. Those buildings fell at velocities close to freefall in a vaccuum. You can buy the explanation.. but physics says its pure bull****.
watch the video. The top overhangs the bottom. It did collapse in free fall mode.
