Simple. The concrete holds the steel together and the steel holds the concrete together. Engineering 101.

No not in this case,check out the blue prints,the central core was built out of 47 steel columns.It was a free standing core,that the concrete floors attached to it.Even if the floors collapse,the core stays standing.Or in the event of a plane flying through it,the top could collapse or fall over.But there were still 80 some floors of both tower where the core was undamaged.Even the NIST report stated,the fires weren't hot enough to bring the core down.I'm not saying there was explosives used,but so far thats the only theory that takes everything into account.

I don't see why that wouldn't work. The real key to the whole thing is the length of the tubing, to create that anoxic zone for the bacteria to establish sufficient population numbers. Why not just give it a try and report back how it works?

Only concrete floors.
The photo that is supposed to be demo charges going off sure looks air pressure ahead of the pancaking.

9/11 was an inside job
concrete buildings never fall because of the fires never before 9/11 never after.
A 120 gallon woops 120 floor building collapsed at the free fall speed almost as fast as the speed of the rock dropped from the roof.
That means there was no obsticle to the folling upper floor and it did not hit the lower floor.

Ok forget the Towers the smoking gun is building # 7 why did IT collapsed ?there was no plains flying in to it just small fire on two (!) floors.
Building # 7 was block away from the towers and other buildings that were even closer then #7 were NOT damaged.
The truth is out there and it is ugly !

Default BBC Reported Building 7 Had Collapsed 20 Minutes Before It Fell

hey guys, check THIS out

An astounding video uncovered from the archives today shows the BBC reporting on the collapse of WTC Building 7 over twenty minutes before it fell. The incredible footage shows BBC reporter talking about the collapse of the Salomon Brothers Building while it remains standing in the live shot behind her head.
