Alex, they haven't updated the stats here lately, but there are 975 ARCHITECTS (people who design buildings and know a bit about steel) and ENGINEERS (who undoubtedly know something about steel as well). http://www.ae911truth.org/ Knowing that their signature on this website can mean a loss in business, they signed up anyway. I say that takes a lot of guts. Perhaps they know something that you don't?
There were 47 support columns. The original models showed that the flight of the planes took out only three at most in one building and less than that in the other. To make their models work they had to say it had to be 10. The only things on any of the planes that could take out any of the support columns were the engines - and that's it. One engine went through the tower practically intact and did not hit any support column. Now one plane was the Boeing 767-223 with two engines. The other was a Boeing 767-200 also with two engines. I seriously doubt those three engines brought down any of those buildings. The science doesn't support it.
Certainly not straight down as none of the cores were weakened at the bottom. It would have toppled sideways. Do you understand physics?
