Anyone ever found it weird that the walls of the lobby were still left standing? https://www.flickr.com/photos/textfiles/48028450883/in/album-72157708997281912/
But the entire rest of the building was just completely annihilated. I guess they couldn't access that part of the building to attach explosives.
Actually, that is a really great point. I've never heard anyone else bring that up, but there definitely is no reason the lobby should do that well when the rest of the building literally vaporized.
For a gravity/pancake collapse the bottom part of the building should have been just a giant pile or concrete / steel. Instead the lobby walls were just standing there while the rest of the building was just completely gone. It made absolutely no sense.
