1. the argument doesn't have to be that poor

It can be stated that buildings similar to the WTC towers have survived greater damage than the damage to the towers prior to their collapse. If that were true, it wouldn't prove CD, but it would be salient.

It seems, however, that the buildings said to be "similar" aren't all that similar, so the argument isn't very good.

I wouldn't say that your version is a straw man: I'm pretty sure I've seen arguments that bad.
