Verniage is an example of gravity driven progressive global collapse. No explosives required.
That is about as far as it goes with Verniage.
While the WTC7 did not suffer column on column impact as in Verniage, it did experience progressive collapses, first vertically as column 79 failed and brought a very large amount of rubble down onto the eastern end of the core, then horizontally along the core.
With the core thusly compromised the elevated foundation for the upper 40 storeys failed.
Again, Verniage is an example of initial collapse leading to global failure with only gravity driving the full collapse. However Verniage was not, afaik, introduced wrt WTC7 so your first question to Mick is without basis anyway.
Better now Aemilus?
,,,and as mentioned, and the reason I first addressed Verniage wrt the towers, this thread deals with the towers. WTC7 was introduced in this thread in error, imho. If my post did not answer your question then start another thread.
Hope Mick doesnt mind my stepping in.
