The buildings DID survive the jet impacts for the reasons given above.
What reasons? lol Those aren't reasons those are ideological ideas and agenda driven excuses.
Just like the WMDs in Iraq.
Okay, so
300 TONS of ALUMINUM can break through
13,000 tons of concrete and STEEL. Gotcha Fuji. LOL!

CONSTRUCTION MANAGER of the WTC buildings recorded in January of 2001
""the bldg was designed to have a fully loaded 707 crash into it, the building could probably sustain multiple impacts from jetliners, because this structure is like the mosquito netting on your screen door, the jet plane is just a pencil puncturing the screen netting. It really does nothing to the screen nettting." --- describing how the buildings could take multiple hits from jet liners,
the (tube) structure could take the hits.
37:22 - WORLD TRADE CENTER STRUCTURAL ENGINEER
describing how a 300 ton plane hitting a building designed to carry a 13,000 ton building wouldn't do anything.
37:43 - (ANOTHER) WTC STRUCTURAL ENGINEER
"we designed the building to take the impact of the Boeing 707 hitting the building in any location"
37:50 - the CHIEF ELECTRICAL DESIGN ENGINEER of the WTC
"the plane already hit but what I noticed was, the lights were still in the lobby. That led me to believe that the plane never got to the core columns.... because the feeds for all the lights were in the core columns."
What they did NOT survive was the heat from the resulting massive fire. It was the weakening of the structure under prolonged extreme heat that they did not design for.
Funny you should mention that.
On February 13, 1975, the WTC North Tower was beset by a fire, which "burned at temperatures in excess of 700°C (1,292°F) for over three hours and spread over some 65 percent of the 11th floor, including the core, caused no serious structural damage to the steel structure. In particular, no trusses needed to be replaced."

Amazing, it didn't collapse back then. Just incredible.
In some ways the design was a success.
According to the structural engineers, the guys behind the design, the guys in charge of building it, it SHOULD have been able to take a single 300 ton plane no problem, multiple aircraft, no problem on ANY side, no problem.
That thing was made to take hits, MULTIPLE times.
So aluminum can cut through concrete and steel, awesome.
People should sell any stocks they have in steel and invest in aluminum.
And your "demolition expert", had this guy ever worked on a building with this tube design? And no swinging a sledgehammer at WTC debris doesn't count.
Now you're reaching, it's pretty desperate and said. Straw Man Fuji.
Experience demolishing a two to twenty floor building based on a standard compression design isn't expertise on this topic.
These guys are EXPERTS in demolitions. According to NIST, debris and fires took out a SINGLE column of WTC#7. You honestly believe that story? lol
29:20 explosions before and during the collapse, but NIST denies any explosions?
NIST John Gross - Co-lead investigator - "knew of no eye witness that saw molten steel"
CUE the fireighters 30:45 - "I saw molten steel...like a foundry......like lava"
Poor ol' John Gross, I heard nothing, I saw nothing, therefore it didn't happen.
lol
And no a nuclear guy is not an expert on what amount of heat for what time causes this type of building to fail, another example of a fake expert: somebody with a cool job title who actually knows nothing about this topic.
I left him out, so you stop cherry picking and address the pros who actually BUILT AND KNEW THE building, stop your crying and whining, Straw Man Fuji.
I can, however, point you to some real experts: the very many professionals who worked on the NIST report, most of whom would have to be in on the conspiracy you imagined.
Yes, John Gross, a co-lead who works for the government. "I didn't see any molten steel, what are you talking about?"
LOL
WTC # 7
A single column failed, therefore the entire building would collapse on a 40,000 ton building?
lmao, dude, you really believe that shit?
Fire and debris took out one column?
I'm amazed at how the Oklahoma city building didn't collapse though, looks like it had more than one column severed, okay, maybe two at most.
Granted there is a different design possibly, McDonald's straws?.... but DAYYUMMN!
