There are violent and somewhat focused expulsions emanating from the Plasco building right before and during the collapse which do not immediately lends themselves to natural means.
Ah yes, "I know you are but what am I", combined with a retreat to the motte. Sunk costs are so hard to mentally ditch, aren't they?

Nobody is dodging anything, but you seem to be making comparisons between 2 buildings here because you want to make the comparison, not because the comparison is fair.
You are dodging, because you are not directly addressing the question of what difference it makes, just passing the buck.

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.

Yeah, the forced expulsions were due to the beginning of the collapse due to a huge fire.

Not a natural cause at all!

Can you explain the mechanism that you believe would violently force air out in a relatively focused way?

By the way, these expulsions happen just before the collapse starts and throughout the entire collapse.

No, why should I? I can't measure it in the photo, but I can count storeys, and I count 16. 17 if you include the roof.

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.

"Relatively"? Violently?

Yes, the partial collapse of the structure. Ever use a bellows?

Had it happened prior to 9/11?

That is hilarious!

So what height was the building then, 42m ? We agree ?

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.

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 ?

Very easy to explain. Just think how air is forced out of a syringe.

As an expert of 31 years, you are supposed to know what that means, so go ahead and explain it to us because I want to see how much you know, or should I say, don't know.

Fire did it, you have a fantasy version with no evidence. Sad to see ae911t make up lies about another fire so they can keep the fraud up, and keep donations coming in to support Gage's one man travel club.

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.

This matters how? Do you claim there is an absolute value for a building that can or can not collapse (or the NIST did)?

I don't think the syringe analogy works, as it has a structural funnel, which the building doesn't have.

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

ETA I don't think NIST will stand by this.
