All the people posting these theories lack credibility when they neglect to understand the rudimentary basics of the towers ... as in how they were constructed and their design weaknesses, which are well documented, such as lack of internal support (for open floor plans), lack of concrete around the core (drywall used instead for economy), and lack of redundancy compared to box-frame construction (ie. Empire State Building).
