More importantly, though, where's the pancake effect? This thing just flopped down onto the freeway below - which remained standing so that the fire dept. could walk along it with hoses etc. But the drop was much more than that between floors of WTC, and the mass of the collapsed span enormously greater than a falling bit of floor.
So I honestly don't think this validates any official explanation for Trade Center collapses
