   There have been some very extensive and detailed studies done on this one.   
   The fact that the buildings held up as long as they did and collapsed in the   
   manner they did is a testament to the remarkable engineering that went into   
   them. The combination of the energy released by the impact, the amount of   
   fuel set afire, the holes through the building, and the nature of the   
   structures themselves created a blast furnace effect. The temperatures and   
   amount of heat released must have been awesome. "Judy" would not comprehend   
   that heat and temperature are not the same thing.   
      
   As far as the "demolition job" goes, maybe she needs to contact the Loizeaux   
   family and ask them how it could have been done. Prepping buildings like   
   those for demolition would take months, strip them of any utility, and be   
   pretty darned obvious.
