Of course, the first is WTC 7 and the second is the Plasco building. I am glad you posted these as it is unusual in a pancaking collapse to have an exterior wall on top of the pile. That is something one would expect in an implosion and even the NIST consultant Ramon Gilsanz admitted that WTC 7 was an implosion. It appears that the Plasco collapse was due to an implosion also.

I'm smelling an epistemologically crippled mechanical engineer who has spent 8 years chasing a fantasy only to have forensic structural engineering experts lay bare with their independent analyses the erroneous ways he had to conceptualize aspects of the WTC building collapses in order to keep said fantasy alive. The flaws in his approaches include relying on a clearly erroneous heating model that omits pre-heating and arbitrarily truncates the direct heating phase of a traveling fire and attempting to model floor collapses with a horribly over-simplified girder connection "model" that does not even take into account reasonable damage to such connections due to the fires known to be present on the floors in question (see also here).
Must be quite the gut punch to now also have to watch a reality directly intervene and demonstrate to all his followers that he has been just feeding them woo for years. Wake up, Tony. |

When you explain the simultaneous free fall acceleration of all four corners of WTC 7 as being due to fire maybe then we can talk. Until then I am casting my pearls among swine by even contemplating your silly arguments. There is only one explanation for the simultaneous free fall over the full length and width of the building and neither NIST, ARUP, or WAI explain it. That is because it won't comport with what they want to say.
It is kind of like we aren't going to discuss what seat you get at the show when you don't even have the money for admission. |

Previously yes through his office, many times. But not in this specific regard, yet.
What height do you think this building was? The CTBUH don't give a figure, but as I showed you in my link, they do state 17 storeys specifically above ground. Does 142m seem a bit low to you for this many storeys above ground ? |

It is silly to claim that explosives were responsible for the destruction the WTC buildings despite the lack of visual, audio, hardware, and seismic data evidence. I can simply use the following video to debunk the claim that explosives were used to demolish WTC 7. WTC 7 Collapse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD06SAf0p9A |

No Shyam Sunder does, in this video here at around 32s
