Yes I know. Hey buddy

The ? is was there enough gravity or inertia or momentum or weight in motion to start a pancaking on a fairly healthy structure where most had not been touched by fire.

People were 30 floors up for sure and came back with no fire or structural damage on the lower floors.

So that is the question. So we need to know more. Yes it is huge but there are also lots of verticle beams too.

Also if I pancake an erector set with a heavy enough weight it will indeed pancake straight down but it must be very heavy in relation to the standing structure.

I may be missing something. If so I apologize But I am usually not wrong. lol
