Re: September 11 2001
I hate to say it, but we're all dumb idiots. Shit can almost always be explained by science. We're too dumb so we just ask questions there are scientific answers too. We just don't know them and we know nothing about science either.
Unless it comes from the big bang theory, I don't know much about science - not at that level at least. I used to love science as a kid, but that's a far cry from this stuff.

A large object free falling from 1,300ft would take roughly 9 seconds and that's in a vacuum (no atmosphere), now add in the resistence of just our atmosphere (oxygen etc) and that will add another second, bringing the time to fall to roughly 10 seconds. The buildings took roughly 11 seconds to fall.
Are we to believe that the intact mass of the building underneath the area of collapse could only offer the same resistance of air?
I know I keep saying this, but don't forget the near killoton of kenetic energy going on during the fall - that's like 1/16th of the atomic bombing of hiroshima going through the structure...doesn't surprise me that it only took an additional second or two to be pulverised.
