So, why don't the burners on my stovetop buckle and sag and collapse?

Steel. 47 of the biggest steel core columns on the planet in each tower. Steel support columns around the outsides of the towers. the buildings designed to absorb impact like a pencil going through a screen...weight-bearing just shifts to other supports. And steel, steel, steel.

But say the towers were made of popsicle sticks. How could they have fallen in 10 seconds? One floor falls onto another and encounters resistance, same with the next, the next, etc. Even with popsicle sticks as construction material, it is physically impossible for the collapses to have happened in 10 seconds. Physically impossible. Unless you factor in explosives clearing the way ahead of the collapse area. Blow the floor beneath so no resistance is encountered, and free fall speed can be achieved. That is the only way. You don't need Isaac Newton to remind you of this, you just need to watch the 10-second collapse as concrete and steel is aerosolized, and multi-ton beams are thrown UPWARDS and out hundreds of yards.

Again, someone tell me why the burners on my stove don't collapse.

The 9/11 Truth movement is about to get a HUGE shot in the arm when Cindy Sheehan squares off against Bush's partner-in-crime Nancy Pelosi. I think I've handed out over a thousand tapes and discs about 9/11 now. My favorite lately is to leave them wherever I find Selective Service material. Post offices have little holders full of brochures, so I put my discs in those. "Free Video." 8 hours of 9/11 Truth videos.
