27. The videos of their model DON'T show any walls
Take another look: it's just columns "bending every which way." There is no reason to expect the exterior columns in the real building, with rigid curtain walls attached, to behave like that. Curtain walls don't carry gravity loads, but they are not flimsy; they need to be rigid and sturdy enough to carry a lot of wind load to the floors and columns without caving in.

And I can't say I care about what you find "obviously wrong" with the model. I'm still waiting for Richard Gage's "over 1300 engineers and architects" to come up with a single valid technical reason for believing the highly implausible "controlled demolition" hypothesis.
