I was casually thinking about high-rise building collapses, and I cannot think of any other building that has had such a catastrophic collapse, at near freefall speed, within its own footprint – apart from controlled demolitions. The only one that came close was a 6-storey building collapsing in 10 seconds, which is ~1.6 seconds per floor (Royal Plaza Hotel, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand) . https://www.bestonlineengineeringdegree.com/the-10-worst-high-rise-building-collapses-in-history/
On 11 September 2001, three skyscrapers collapsed at near freefall speed, within their own footprints (i.e. they did not topple over much). For a 110 storey building to collapse at ~1.6 seconds per floor, it would take 3 minutes, not 10 seconds.
Let's think about this a bit more 🙂 The only time this has ever happened was on one day, three buildings! It has never happened before, and has never happened after.

To be fair, skyscrapers are designed so that if they collapse, they collapse on their own footprint instead of toppling like a domino.
Have many other skyscrapers been hit directly by large airplanes? It would be an interesting comparison, I only remember hearing about Cessna sized planes hitting skyscrapers and I don’t think the pilot was trying to do maximum damage.
Those building were brought down by a DEW. Not some Kerosene/Jet Fuel from non existent planes. Look into Teslas frequency weapon. Explains how the concrete and steel of those buildings turned to dust on their way down. Dr. Judy Wood’s where did the towers go is a must watch. Can be found on bitchute.
There is an engineering reason for this. The old WTC supported the entire weight of the structure on the outer walls through stacked vertical beams instead of internal columns where the outer wall, usually glass, is a curtain that hangs on the internal structure. This is unlike every skyscraper built to that point and unlike most today.
When the jet fuel started burning on the upper floors it melted the cross trusses which sagged pulling in the vertical beams making up that floor’s wall. As they collapsed onto the next floor the weight caused the same thing to happen, starting a chain reaction all the way down.
At street level there was so much debris that it did explode outwards. Enough to destroy buildings around it.
I can confirm. I was one of the people hired by the CIA to install the demolition equipment.
