How was all the concrete in WTC 1and 2 turned into dust?

Question

The floors of the floors of the WTC, like most high rises built in the laqst half of the 20 th century, were steel pans filled with concrete and covered with flooring, carpet and padding, lineolium, tile, etc. These would colapse into a pile of rubble, not pulverize into a cloud of tiny dust particles in a convential colapse. To turn concrete to dust, especially if it is well covered, takes " explosive " energy. The dust clouds emanating from ground zero on 9/11/01 had all of the ear marks of a pyroclastic flow cloud as seen at an errupting volcano. What force accounts for the pulverization of the solid matter in the Twin Towers at the time of their collaqpse into their footprints at the speed of freefall in a near perfectly symetrically fashion?

Answer 1

I'm not even going to answer the whole question as the premise is so weak generally.

Explosives would break the concrete into LARGE chunks not power ... please do not listen to the opinions of nuts (including me!) and take them as fact. Read up a little on structure and explosive demolition ... the work required to prep the building would have taken weeks and would have been as obvious as hanging billboards - it is only in the movies that a few satchel charges bring down a building.

BTW I have heard the 'free-fall' thing so many times ... pick up a physics text book please.

Answer 2

you are right, you must be an engineer to know what exactly concrete slabs will do that have been subject to very high temperatures and then being pushed by several hundred tons of debris fell several hundred feet to the ground. they should have landed intact and just been stacked there like pancakes! No idiot the force of the floors hitting each other and then the growing momentum of falling and the acceleration from gravity of falling just 10 stories would cause enough "explosive" energy when it hit the ground to pulverise just about anything.
But then again you saw it in a video on the internet. The fact that CNN has seen it too but is still ignoring it ought to tell you something about how reliable these "documentaries" are.

Answer 3

BIG building, LOTS of falling debris, TALL height from which most of it fell, GRAVITY, increased speed as it falls, what more do you want? Here's an experiment to try: Drop a cinder block by itself from a tall building and my guess is it's going to shatter, drop thousands more on top of it, and there won't be a block left.

Answer 4

thousands of gallons of jet fuel, plus the shear weight of the floors collapsing down upon one another as well as the ensuing fires caused by the exploding jet liners, don't you think that would do it?

Answer 5

heat/pressure

Answer 6

So you are suggesting a conspiracy??????
