Ok ...I guess I can't be the only one who doesn't way in on this. I try my best to keep an open mind, since I admit I know nothing about the way buildings fall (either by plane impact or demolishing), but I do have common sense.

It just seems odd that they came down perfectly straight. When considering other videos of different buildings getting demolished...you can't argue that there's an an almost identical similarity.

Also, the fact that when all three of the buildings fell, they took the path of maximum resistance. This would certainly cause a delay in the time they took to complete their fall...."pancaking" onto each floor has got to slow the fall at least somewhat.

Lastly, some have suggested that it wasn't the fire that brought the buildings down....(which I can't believe it was, because it was pretty clear that a massive amount of the fuel burned up immediately)....but rather the simple fact huge airplanes slammed into the buildings, weakening the structure.

Now...like I said above, I don't know how buildings are demolished, but if a plane slammed into a building thus weakening it's structure enough to result in it's eventual collapse..........wouldn't the building collapse toward the direction of the fatal blow? Picture a tree falling after it's been cut down by an axe. It falls toward the direction of where it's structure has been weakened...

If the structure was indeed weakened by the planes impact, it seems to me that there would be noticeable lean to the building prior to collapse......no?
