But they would also fall relatively straight down rather than just toppling to the side entirely due to the way they dropped. Basically imagine it with each floor held up by support beams, then you take out the 30th or 40th floor from the top, the weight of those 30 floors is going to be massive and it will drop about 10 foot then impact the next floor - that is a massive amount of force, but one that the supports will hold against for a fraction of a fraction of a second.
What you basically create is a rapid but noticeable concertina effect as each floor's supports give out so the horizontal movement will be very small. Basically the building wasnt constructed the same way as a house where walls have support, the support was in a central core with the building kinda like a bunch of doughnuts built around that core so as they gave out lateral movement would be minimal relatively speaking.
The "explosions" are caused by the effect of the floors giving out as the above ones fall on them, basically air is pushed out of windows rapidly giving an actual explosion but one caused by pneumatic pressure and not explosives.
Look, here is the deal. All the 9/11 conspiracies have been debunked. Literally all of them. You will spend your time better just ignoring it entirely, but if you do any research start by finding out what the claim is, look up the debunking of it, then go back to the conspiracy theory and lol at how dumb they are. Cos they are.
Thanks for the post. Definitely interesting and I like your explanation on the 'explosions'. This is a video of the website I have gotten a lot of my information from so far.

I also think the person who mentioned the passports is very interesting. How do we find passports but there is basically no luggage around the pentagon or flight 93 (at least from the photo's I have seen)? That part doesn't seem to make sense.
