They Just Don't Build Them Like That Anymore: WTC6
(the top of the picture is west, the right hand side is north; the remains of WTC1 are to the left of WTC6-- to the south)
The amount of asymmetric damage this structure took without collapsing completely is astounding. Not to mention that this building must have suffered fire damage as well.
The footprint of WTC6 was somewhat larger than one of the WTC towers, but certainly not more than twice as large.
The building has been carved up so that the northern and southern sections are only 20-30 feet wide in spots. How did these sections stay upright when the whole building structure was being completely traumatized by huge falling chunks of WTC1 and fire (and the weapon that took down WTC1)?
I must have missed the official explanation for how the WTC towers completely collapsed from asymmetric column failure while the outer frame of WTC6 stayed perfectly upright after much more severe internal column failure.
Don't tell me NIST can't explain it!!!
Because that would suggest something WEIRD happened!
