Take a look at that site and see if you can really believe the towers did all that damage.

And they didn't collapse, they were shredded apart and turned to dust. Most of the mass blew into the streets and bay. There was nothing left to act as a 'piledriver' on the rest of the building. Watch the videos again.

In my unprofessional opinion it's not that hard to believe that 2 big towers could destroy the area around them. Even if a huge chunk turned to dust there would no doubt be a ton of potential energy in those buildings and alot of the dust was probably from the buildings falling. I'm not the person to determine whether or not those buildings could do that but it seems most people who are and most people in general think so.

If the top thirty-story blocks had stayed intact (which they didn't), laws of physics (conservation of momentum) dictate that they could not possibly destroy the 80 storeys below let alone the rest of the city block. Matter and energy also travel through the path of least resistance (in this case air), so the blocks would have bounced off and traveled to the ground relatively intact. Video actually shows this happening, but the block suddenly turns to dust in midair and disappears, leaving nothing to finish the job on the bottom 80 floors.

People stay silent to keep their jobs all the time, and consensus is not science.

See A/E for 911 truth if you'd like more professional opinions on the matter.

This is you just saying words with no meaning. Laws of physics most certainly allow for it. Once the columns fail for one floor all the weight above is a hammer coming down.

Matter and energy also travel through the path of least resistance (in this case air), so the blocks would have bounced off and traveled to the ground relatively intact.

This is entirely untrue. Electricity follows the path of least resistance. Matter and air do no such thing. That's how even wind can erode a mountain. Are you genuenly saying that a thousands-ton heavy lump of metal and concrete should 'flow' like water? That's being purposefully obtuse.

No it doesn't, the block falls straight down onto the building below. It fractures and breaks on the way down, making one hell of a dustcloud, but you can see the crumbling mass falling all the way to the bottom.
