Hi Harry,
See my other posts in this thread. The building you see in the video
fell on the afternoon of 9/11. So, it was not demolished. Here is my
basic question.

How is it possible for all the outer columns to fail at the same time? I
don't find any physics that would increase their load because the core
fails 3/5ths of a second earlier. As I understand it, this building is
done the same way as the twin towers. The outer columns and the core do
not share the vertical load. So, what happened?
