RIGHT NOW: a documentary on Discovery
Channel about the WTC called "Collapse" (East Coast - NY). I just turned it on. Please tune in if you can. So far, they have talked about the new designs and whether they are vulnerable to terrorist attacks. They are now delving into "The Anatomy of Collapse" . It's aabout the design of the felled WTC towers.

2. It was interesting.
It certainly supported the OCT.

But you had to see this one part:

An MIT prof was demonstating the instability of a high rise if floor failure occurs. During his demonstration, he stacked weights on small scale models of a high rise with an intact middlefloor and one without an intact middle floor. Of course the one with the middle floor was more stable, but get this: the unstable one fell over on it's side. It didn't collapse within it's on imprint. He caught it before it hit the table.I LOL.
