40. You Haven't Pointed Out Any Of The 47, 1300 Foot Steel Columns Yet.
The engines would have only taken out a few steel core columns along 2 entry paths and so the tower with steel core columns cannot collapse as we saw. It also cannot stand as it did because the steel is too flexible in at that length no matter how much trussing you do.

You woul dhave to be familiar with the engineering of steel structures to know that .............. so just show me some pieces of steel core columns in these pictures showing the core area.

WTC 2 with all the exterior steel fallen away. What is that monolithic thing with the rounded of top? Does steel round of like that when multiple vertical steel columns are exposed?



If there were steel columns in the core would they not be seen here, these fine elements are too small to be the cores as they were about the size of the interior box columns.



Below is an interior box column, you can see by the floor beams that the column is a part of the outer tubular framework adjacent ot the core. The spire is near the core corner. Thsi photo is at the same distance of the photo above.
