based on a purely commonsense analysis, was confirmed by a technical analysis of the North Tower collapse by mechanical engineer Gordon Ross. Far from failing to retard the downward movement of the building’s upper portion, his analysis showed, the lower portion would have quickly and completely stopped the top portion’s descent. Having made the necessary calculations (which NIST failed to do), Ross concluded that the “vertical movement of the falling section would [have been] arrested . . . within 0.02 seconds after impact. A collapse driven only by gravity would not continue to progress beyond that point.”70
If Ross’s calculations are even close to accurate, then NIST’s account – according to which the Twin Towers came down “essentially in free fall,” even though they were not professionally demolished - implied two enormous miracles (one for each building).

Except that the towers did not come down "essentially at freefall," however the planning, prepping, and perpetration of so massive an undertaking - which for some reason included slamming those passenger jets into the Towers and setting chaotic fires an hour or more before tripping the undetectable charges that somehow survived the fires, all without detection or exposure - would not only have amounted to "enormous miracles" but complete and utter impossibilities. As always your 9/11 CT silliness is dismissed with extreme prejudice.
