Sigh.
I'm not your walking stick just because you can't walk on your own to
the school.
Start doing your own hard work. You don't even answer direct questions.
Do you think I like being right about this?

Okay -- so where are the "energy levels simple kinetic forces cannot

And where are these "molten steel" artifacts you lay claim to?
And can you show that the "molten steel" wasn't due to the fire's heat?
You've stacked a lot of numbers, which is good -- but you haven't
really shown anything. If you have a point, try to get to it.
Here's molten steel pulled out early-on 9/27/01.

I regret I can't find the URL for one with construction workers in
front of red pools deeper down and later. It's on a drive somewhere,
but out of reach just now.
Look at this construction photo and tell all of us just how all that
offers less resistance than butter the entire length down:

"Of the more than 170 areas examined on 16 perimeter column panels,
only three columns had evidence that the steel reached temperatures
above 250ºC… Only two core column specimens had sufficient paint
remaining to make such an analysis, and their temperatures did not
reach 250 ºC. ... Using metallographic analysis, NIST determined that
there was no evidence that any of the samples had reached temperatures
above 600 ºC"

Here's what a steel frame modern structural failure looks like, every
time until this most-special day of Coincidences Grande.

It's only under controlled demolition that symmetry occurs.
Only.
Ever.
Where's the money-quote from the designer - or even original owners -
that stated this was a disposable building & their biz plan
anticipated the investment would be past it's shelf-life by the
beginning of this millennia?
Have you paid no attention at all to architectural design in the last
half century? Pick up a magazine on the topic. I'll not burden myself
with trying to educate you further.
Warren, we haven't met, but I feel sure I've seen your silhouette
shaking fists at yungin's from the porch. If you did know me you would
have known I sent away for my college transcripts from the Tulane
School of Architecture just yesterday. LoL.
If you want to talk about then life-cycle of suburban housing, well...
I was complaining about that fact when I was in high school.
Commercial grade skyscrapers are a whole order of magnitude upgrade
over the razors+blades model the contractor-builder offers.
You've got yourself a big mouth, but it don't seem to really say much.
Follow the links I've traced and maybe you'll have something to say
next time.
