There are photos of people standing in the hole just minutes after impact.
Someone, please, explain this.

Don't even get started ...
Is it not plausible that some of he beams got weakened enough that the combination of burning fuel, fires inside the building caused by the fuel, the weight of a plane's metal and whatever was inside, the impact of a plane crashing into the building, thousands of pounds of office furniture, flooring, the odd overweight temp, perhaps a loose bolt or two and who knows what else ... could have caused the first beam to collapse or break?
After that a domino effect.
Or do you have a better theory?
(Please, don't answer that... just do a search here on GFY for all the arguments ad nauseum!)
