Have fun storming the castle.

ON EDIT: I mean, after all, you got what you wanted, right? What you knew was there. Not even a page concerned "collapse". Page after page of how the fire raged through the building. Page after page of how the fireproofing was affected by the impact, and the damage caused to the structure by the impact. Whole sections devoted to how the building was designed and built. Diagram after diagram showing the stresses in various parts of the building, and picture after picture of the building's damage and fire.

But just a page talking about collapse initiation. So the whole thing is a pile of crap for you.

Never mind that everything in the report up to that point is focused on that last page. Every bit of work was done to support it. No, you get to ignore all the support and hold one single page up to ridicule. Why?

Because that's the rules on the Internets.

So the world goes on. The NIST study will be used by those responsible for designing buildings as it was intended, and they will make future skyscrapers stronger, and more accomodating to evacuation and emergency procedure. Lives will be saved because of this document.

And the darkweaving will go on, as it has throughout history. And the tapes will be sold, and the flock will willingly deceive itself, just so they can feel like they have some measure of possession over the random acts that the world throws at them.

You'll pay to know what you really think. Have fun storming the castle.
