47. Hi spooked, glad to see you back.

Edited on Sat Dec-30-06 04:12 AM by petgoat

Since the "floors" were built only to hold themselves
up, to me the proposition that five collapsing floors
could have brought down the sixth seems reasonable.

What is not reasonable is that the core should have collapsed.

Stripped of the supplemental lateral support of the floors,
the core would have toppled eventually, maybe in 500' chunks.
