Reply #31: OK, relatively brittle compared to what? [View All]

The steel used in all other buildings? Doubtful. The steel used in springs? Not really.
Steel supports in large buildings are useful precisely because the steel used is stiff, yet flexible. There is no brittle about it, relatively or other wise.

Your post was nothing except another attempt to derail this thread, which brings me back to the question I keep asking about the video. What do you think about the video in the OP, starting at 8 minutes, 25 seconds into it that shows the tower collapsing, starting at the very top?
