Here's an attempt to quantify the logistics of the explosives and manpower of operation twin towers.

Note: While the author seems to be uninformed or misinformed about other segments of the 9-11 attacks, (mentions global hawk, missile, etc). that should not take away from his apparent expertise in the area of explosives. Enough said.

It appears this took a year or perhaps more to complete. Giving ever more meaning to things
that transpired going back to that time and perhaps a bit further, than we had ever assigned.
Perhaps, also, more details can be found in the transcripts and anecdotes of those times that qualify as suspicious activity. But more important, will be the ideas of any explosives experts,
who can further flesh out and/or correct any of this.

Destruction of the towers by explosions is furthermore clear according to the photographs and reports of the eye witnesses. In the picture below, a range of cutting charges have just exploded in the down left sector and a typical white cloud is formed outwards from the wall. Down right, explosions are seen as well. Even a detonation flame is seen, many stories below the point of impact.

In video tapes taken of the planned demolition of the WTC, more explosions of these cutting charges can clearly be seen. The explosions advance quickly, with a gap of a couple of floors, cutting the strong steel pillars in the outer wall. The explosions are skillfully timed so that it appears that the tower collapses occur in the same timing as in a gravitational collapse. The explosions are not completely synchronized in timing, probably a few charges are triggered by radio, and other charges explode out of the impulses of one of these charges (infrared, pressure wave).

More challenging problems to the demolition men, however, were the reinforced steel central cores of the buildings and the 47 steel pillars more robust even than the ones on the outer rounds. The pillars of the central cores were made of steel 100 + 100 mm thick, much thicker than the side armors of a battle tank. Cutting those, even with explosives, is extremely difficult. One would need to surround the whole pillars, every single pillar on every floor blasted with powerful cutting charges. These charges would have needed to be placed in such a way that the inhabitants of the skyscrapers could not notice these preparations.

As seen in the following pictures, the cores of the towers were not destroyed by thousands of powerful cutting charges of thermite as were the surrounding beams, but rather by a modern thermonuclear explosive, a small hydrogen bomb. In the picture below, a hydrogen bomb explosion, the bomb having been placed in the lowest basement level and directed to the core, shows the resulting energy wave has reached the roof of the tower and the upper parts of the outer walls. On its way up, the waves of intense hydro-fire pressure partially penetrated about 100 floors of concrete and steel. Over ten million degrees of heat created by such a hydrogen bomb sublimated all water within the concrete in seconds. The water (or more specifically the Hydrogen content in the concrete) exploded extremely quickly into 24-fold volume which then totally pulverized the concrete and steel into a fine, white, and “hot” flour-like powder. All people, all office equipment and computers that were in the buildings immediately vaporized, turning instantly into heat and light. That is why almost no human remains of the nearly 3,000 victims and/or any recognizable office equipment residue was found in the ruins – yet thousands of offices were supposedly only “collapsed” from gravity. Where are the human remains of the victims??

Here you see the brown “energy cloud” of the explosion extending well over 63 meters in either direction of the 63 meter wide tower. This incredibly potent energy wave could not have been produced by a mere gravitational “collapse”.

Storax Sedan 104 Kt shallow underground hydrogen bomb (100 times larger than the WTC nuke but yet showing the same energy release characteristics).

In the upper picture the explosion is in theory 100 times stronger than in the picture below, but in practice the difference is only four times due to the “capability of direction” of the small hydrogen bomb along a prescribed “corridor” such as the base columns of the WTC Towers.

Radioactivity released in the air creates shades of brown as the Electro-Magnetic Pulse knocks out all electrical devices within a specific, defined radius of the blast. (The subterranean nuke in the picture on the right is 10 times stronger than the small nuke on the left.) This is the primary reason why the FBI did not search the crime scene, and why the area was immediately cordoned off from the general public. Ground zeros of nuclear weapons are a public health risk and belong exclusively to the “experts” of FEMA.

Furthermore, normal fiery jet fuel conflagrations and planned demolitions do not remain extremely “hot” 5 to 10 days after the fires have been extinguished. However, hydrogen bomb sites remain thermally reactive and “hot” for days and even weeks. This is clearly demonstrated by the USGS calibrations of the WTC areas.

Images of the World Trade Center Site Show Thermal Hot Spots on September 16 and 23, 2001. (Downloaded directly from the USGS Website – with their commentary and explanation.)

Having skimmed the article the author has clearly been reading too much fiction. The buildings came down MOSTLY driven by gravity, with perhaps some engineering applied to initiate the collapses. There is no evidence of cutter charges, and the core columns outlasted the collapse/destruction of the floors... with many of the standing as high as 70+ stories before toppling over having inadequate bracing which was destroyed by the collapsing floors. No mini nukes required.

The fact is that the twin towers were a rather new design with a flimsy floor system spanning between the perimeter core columns and the facade columns. The latter peeled away, broke apart at the bolted connections... the former (core columns) toppled from Euler buckling when the bracing was ripped off by the collapsing floors. Columns were strong and were not crushed in the collapse phase. The author simply hasn't studied the towers and their weakness and shows little comprehension of structural engineering.

If you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
