Conspiracy theorists see evidence of a "controlled detonation"
No, conspiracy theorists say 19 men with boxcutters took their flight-school flunk-out experience and did top gun flying into their targets. That's the conspiracy theory.
Here's a link to the photo of WTC 2 falling sideways:
Here's an explanation of angular momentum as it applies to this event: "Conservation of angular momentum requires that an object continue to rotate around its center of mass once set in motion, unless acted on by an outside force. Even if the tower beneath it had completely given way, leaving it nothing more to push against laterally, the rotation once started would not abruptly stop. But the top section does not stop rotating and drop straight down, as some have claimed. What does in fact happen is that the top section breaks up internally so that it no longer behaves as a rigid object, relieving it of the obligation to conserve angular momentum.. By turning into a slurry of concrete dust and shattered steel the rotation becomes dissipated into the motion of what is essentially a fluid..."
