PAINFUL DECEPTIONS -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY |
|
When it was over, it was difficult to find anything resembling office furniture, chunks of concrete, human bodies, or large pieces of the steel frame. The Towers had steel frames. They were not steel reinforced concrete structures. The concrete was used only as a flooring material. Somehow, virtually all of the beams broke apart into short sections. Only a few steel beams that were along the outside of the Tower remained connected together.
Such as these. Here are two steel columns that are still connected to each other by steel plates. These columns were along the outside of the Tower.
This assembly was also along the outside of the Tower. It shows damage, but the steel parts held together. How could only a few assemblies along the outside be strong enough to survive the collapse?
A closer view of the rubble makes it look as if the Towers were put through a giant shredding machine.
What happened to all of the office furniture? Where are the elevators? |
