For those of us with an engineering or physics background...

In other words, the law of conservation of momentum would cause the side of the building most damaged by the fires to collapse first, and so on.


LOL, the guy contradicts himself, unless by "engineering or physics background" he means, "I've heard the term 'conservation of momentum' somewhere."

Again, we see a common thread in all of the collapses of that day – the main supporting steel columns, some of them massive, gave absolutely no resistance to the collapse of the respective buildings. For WTC 7, this implies that all 25 central steel columns and 58 peripheral steel columns failed within 1 second of each other.

Again we see a common thread in most "truther" arguments: faulty logic applied to faulty information, spread around the web by people who really don't give a fuck if it's idiotic nonsense.
