The real conspiracy is all of these random, ramshackle buildings in far flung locations that are conspiring to defy physics just to make AE911Truth look like a bunch of kooks that don't know what they are talking about! Won't someone please think of AE911Truth and tell these buildings to stop defying physics just to spite them!?!

1. What is "transnational terrorism"?
2. What's with twoofers and their obsession with linking EVERYTHING with the CIA & The MOSSAD Agency? This is getting really boring after a while. Normal question: Have the CIA and the MOSSAD ever worked together with anything? Also:

It did appear to collapse into its own footprint at freefall speed and created pyroclastic flows of smoke and dust.
From the rubble it looks like steel framing with reinforced concrete floors. Only going by the available pictures though and I am no engineer. News reports say one fatality which is sad but also remarkable. |

Another angle, with collected images:

So, no nutter has stepped forward to say that Planet X is behind it (I personally wouldn't be surprised)?

I actually agree on that one. Counting this one, it has happened about 6 times in history, 5 if we don't count the Windsor which was a partial collapse, and 4 if we don't count the Plasco either which was 15 stories high above ground and it may not be considered a high rise by some standards.
A different matter is why that bit of trivia is significant. |

As usual these days, the best research on new technical issues related to 9/11 Truthism is again being done on Mick West's forum:

Neighboring building across the street "may collapse any time now" - even though it was never hit by a plane...

The only problem is that the building was owned by the Federal Government, not a private person. It was abandoned several years ago probably due to structural problems. Sao Paulo's homeless-exploiting mafia of left wing movements proceeded then to promote the invasion of the building, charging each person some 100-200 dollars a month for basically nothing in return. But thats another story.

To me, the exterior columns look too sturdy for not being structural, and too weak for being carrying a significant load.
