25. back in the good old days
when I was modding the tinfoil forum, I actually determined the heat and pressure created by the floors falling onto each other. It was more than enough to account for the molten steel and the pure vaporization of the concrete.

I still don't understand why people don't realize that this building was designed to fall straight down, the strength was on the outside forcing a collapse inwards. And last time I checked, stuff falls down, not over. the WTC, like many modern skyscrapers, is basically empty space, intersperesed with very heavy slabs.
