350. Cognitively challenged?
Yes, I know it was before the collapse. Once the buildings collapsed, things were no longer falling from the sky.

Let's see if I can walk you through this. Plane hits building. Plane hits the other building. Are you with me so far?

Now, the buildings did not collapse right away. They stood and burned like a couple of giant candles for quite a long time. You may have seen photographs.

While the buildings were burning, big chunks of things were falling to the ground from above the points of impact. These things were falling from a great height, because these buildings were both more than 1,360 feet high. Big chunks of building fell to the ground. Chunks of the planes fell to the ground. Great big heavy things were falling approximately a quarter of a mile to the ground, and hitting asphalt. They went "boom" when they hit. Even the people, both flaming and not flaming, who were jumping to their deaths made a "boom" when they hit, as well as a big splash, because they were falling from such a great height. This fact has been commented on by many people.

When big heavy things fall from a great height, it sounds like an explosion. It is an explosion, actually, just not the kind you have in mind.

And this is all over your head, isn't it?
