Comment on Would it be possible to model 9/11 using hot dogs for the planes?
bearoftheisle@europe.pub 1 week agoThe towers were demolished after the fact via controlled explosive charges because they were no longer safe to enter.
Source on that? Wikipedia seems to say that they suffered a progressive collapse on their own in part because of structural damage from the hits, in part from fires heating the steel supports enough to seriously weaken them.

I watched the plane crash into the building, then witnessed through media reports the cleanup and demolition?
There was definite structural damage, as I said, but the impact didn’t bring the towers down.
What Wikipedia says doesn’t disagree with that.
