okay, as to what happened to all that steel. Look at those pictures Kmarion posted above. I mean, take a good look at them and reference them during the reading of my post. Also, I want you to remmber scale.
Now, look at this photo of the construction of the WTC:
I want you to note a couple of things; first the design of the outer support columns. Second, the color of the steel in the construction. Now, go back to the Ground Zero photos above. Do you notice that brown 'latticework?" That is not facade, that is the steel of the outer columns. All those brown bars would be the steel of the internal core. Also, Kmarion is correct in another regard. Those steel beams were brought in in pieces and riveted together (for the most part). The support columns are not a single length of steel going 100+ floors up. But REALLY look at those photos; just remember, grey=concrete, brown=steel.
Why do I keep harping on scale? Because we tend to forget these things looking at photographs. Look at the cranes on the ground, then try to recall how large they are up close. Look at the nearby buildings to see how many floors up the rubble is sitting.
Also, one more thing. The more you apply a critical eye to the 'controlled demolition' theory, the less it seems plausible. How exactly do you suggest the outer columns be "demolished"(explosively cut) without being obviously noticed, since they are pretty much the outside of the building?
Last, skorp, you are asking a lot of questions but you seldom aknowlege points. Do you have a rebuttal to the manpower requirement for any possible 'controlled demolition?' Specifically, how did the amount of manpower needed, the prep time needed, and the prepatory work for all of the explosives go unnoticed? How did these hypothetical explosives survive the plane crash in order to bring the building down? How did the teams know exactly where to place the explosives, given that the collapse began at the crash site?
