The 911 North Tower Demolition Explained

The Model for 'removing' skyscrapers
is the Penzer Building in Detroit, courtesy of Controlled Demolition, Inc. Notice the yellow enclosed area showing some of
the cutter charges that demolished ALL of the support columns on one floor. The total weight of the unsupported structure
hammered the building to the ground after the core structure was blown to pieces:

Among the litany of 9/11 exposures is the SEQUENCE
of the White Jet's arrival from its destruction of alleged Flight 93 in Pennsylvania to finish off the North Tower, Trip #3
to the Big Apple on 9/11: |
FEMA, the Federal Government agency that
covered up the OKC bombing, arrived in NYC on 9/10 claims:
Review of videotape recordings of the collapse taken from
various angles indicates that the transmission tower on top of the structure began to move downward and laterally slightly
before movement was evident at the exterior walls. This suggests that collapse began with one or more failures in the central
core area of the building.

FEMA claims in their conclusion:
The fire-performance
of steel trusses with spray-applied fire protection, and with end restraint conditions similar to those present in the two
towers, is not well understood, but is likely critical to the building collapse.
http://www.serendipity.li/wot/wtc_ch2.htm
In a Nutshell, FEMA is claiming trusses that supported
the floors were not solidly attached to their end supports, the exterior wall and the interior core structure. Just heat from
the alleged burning fuel caused the trusses to expand falling off their supports resulting in the 'collapse' of the North
Tower. Many have seen warehouses with their steel trusses supporting the roof. These trusses may or may not be attached to
their supporting walls. HOWEVER, the North Tower is a 110 story skyscraper not a warehouse!
THIS PHOTO shows such
a warehouse OPEN WEB JOIST or TRUSS (The angular bars from the lower beam helps to support and stiffen the upper roof beam.): |
FEMA claims the North Tower floor
joist in the next diagram is a open web joist or TRUSS. However, the red circled areas show that the angular braces wrap around
the upper beam ,THUS they serve no supporting or stiffening function for the top beam:
WHILE YOU ARE INSPECING
THESE DIAGRAMS notice FEMA is claiming that TWO 5/8 inch bolts ONLY attach the beam at its ends.
Just to let the cat
out of the bag: THIS IS NOT A TRUSS. Steel beams only provide the primary support for the WTC floors. This diagrams explains
the purpose of the angular braces. They allow the upper beam to support the lower rail that in turn supports the ceiling and
all of its contents:

This photo of a WTC office shows how close the ceiling
approaches the windows. Perhaps the South Tower Boeing 737 went though such an office space. In their final report FEMA ignores
the napalm bombs that went though the South Tower along with the CFM56 engine from a Boeing 737 NOT a 767 the Fed Govt. claims.
See the RENSE article, The Rest Of The 9/11 Street Engine Story
http://www.rense.com/general64/wth.htm
This final piece of
the puzzle shows the section of the floor assembly in place with the lower rail of the assembly almost inline with the top
of the windows. The assembly is heavily bolted and welded to the exterior wall brackets.
This photo shows the
floor assemblies in position. The assemblies of one floor are covered with 4-5 inches of concrete to increase the strength
of the floor. FEMA claims 'lightweight' concrete was used and thus it was weak. Since the concrete was a vital part of strengthening
the floor that would be nonsense.

The design concept
of tubular framing (the so-called tube within a tube architecture) has been employed in the construction of many of the world's
tallest buildings. These include the John Hancock Center (1105 ft), the Standard Oil of Indiana Building (1125 ft), the World
Trade Center Towers (1350 ft), and the Sears Tower (1450 ft). In fact, most modern skyscrapers use this design, a design which
uses a specially reinforced perimeter wall to resist all lateral loading and some of the gravity loading, and a heavily reinforced
central core to resist the bulk of the gravity loading. The lateral loading (horizontal force) on the building, is mainly
due to the wind while the gravity loading (downward force) is due to the weight of the building (i.e., due to gravity).
In
the tube within a tube architecture, it is of vital importance that the horizontal forces on one wall be transfered to the
other walls, so that the entire structure will bend to the minimum extent possible. It is also of vital importance that these
horizontal forces be transfered to the central core so that the entire structure bends uniformly as one unit.
This
is achieved by the use of a composite flooring system, which is designed to act (in essence) as one super-large beam. The
idea is to connect the steel joists supporting the concrete slab, to the slab,
The combined steel joist-concrete slab,
has sufficient strength to transfer the lateral loading to the core and the other walls, so that the building bends as little
as possible, but when it does bend, it bends as a unit.
The Sixty State Street Building (Bosten) has solid steel beams
spanning the gap (of up to 40 feet) between the central core and perimeter wall (these are the beams at the back and on the
left in the photo):
MORE
FROM THE MIT STUDY
Strangely, the authors of the FEMA Report "forget" to mention the 24 x 18 inch metal plates that
were covered with shear studs and also set in the concrete slab. THESE PLATES (together with the 6 foot long diagonal bars
and the welded and bolted truss connections) PROVIDED A STRONG CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FLOOR SLAB AND THE PERIMETER WALL. The
plates are the dark rectangular objects along the perimeter wall in this photo:
TO TOPPLE THE TOWER cutter charges
would be placed: 1) on the exterior columns, 2) at the intersection of the floor assembly to the wall, and 3) on the inner
core support columns and cross beams. Video analysis indicates that one floor was taken out simultaneously with the whole
core structure being blasted to pieces.This photo shows the unconcreted floor assembly abutting the exterior wall:
THE
RED SQUARES in this diagram indicate the support columns of the inner core. Notice the easy access to the support columns
from the elevators, stairways, storerooms, etc. TO TOPPLE SUCH A MASSIVE CORE cutter charges would be placed on all columns
and all cross beams at each floor level all the way to Ground Zero.

70% of all 'removals' here are some links to follow:

Mark Loizeaux, president of Controlled Demolition, Inc
Loizeaux said, "If I were to bring the towers down, I would put explosives in the basement to get the weight of the building
to help collapse the structure."
