How did you establish there were no I beams in the debris?

Okay, so how thin were the spandrels that were so easily bent? Quarter inch? 1/3 inch? For the steel to bend like you said it did would require it to be pretty wimpy, especially when considering the light bend where the column struck the curb.

I can't get my head around the idea that office outfitters arrived to be presented with fluted steel floor pans trimmed with rebar. Such a nuisance for siting cubicles and desks, and when you're fetching a few cups of coffee and have to avoid tripping.
Or, that nobody ever occupied the buildings at all. Meanwhile, the concrete was an essential structural component to the integrity of the buildings, not merely something to walk on conveniently. It's almost an amusing idea |

I see a lot of dust that the authorities and the truth movement seem to want us to focus on. I do see remnants of truss straps and I do see evidence of the lobby ceiling being cut away where it met the walls, but I can't find any of the ibeams or truss systems that supported that massive amount of dust.
It's your story - that the progressive collapse turned the concrete floors to dust, but that also means that there would be a pile of the truss and deck systems, as well as ibeams. |

If the lobby ceiling had been cut away at the walls, the collapse would have started there. Not where the impact occurred.

I hope that this is what you think he is saying, rather it being what you are saying.
False Flag suffered the delusion of thinking that any one floor supported all the floors above it, but despite the stupidity we hear from this chap, he hasn't, as far as I know, said anything of the sort. |

No you don't, not in the sense you mean*. Asserting this doesn't make it so, any more than when you first mentioned it. You have got nothing to back this up.
*You mean deliberately cut away so as to enable a collapse/ demolition. The floor was cut away, certainly, by the weight of all the floors above crashing onto it. |
