WTC 4, 5, and 6 were damaged beyond repair, but they did not collapse at free-fall speed into their own footprint. They actually looked like buildings smashed up by falling debris. Massive chunks of them were broken and collapsed, but they still looked like buildings.
Most importantly, they were between WTC1 and WTC2 and WTC7 which collapsed completely into its footprint from minor fire damage.
Another major tell that people forget is that after, despite “learning that steel framed towers can completely collapse from minor fires” there was no changes to our building codes to prevent it from happening again.
Anyone remember the TV show "Alias"? If not, it was about a woman (Jennifer Garner) who thought she was working for the CIA, but was really working for a rogue intelligence organization, created by former CIA personnel. Their office was located underneath a huge building in the middle of downtown whatever-city-it-was-where-the-show-was-based, and her cover was that she worked for a bank.
There was an episode that guest starred Quentin Tarentino, where he takes over this rogue faction's office, and triggers a countdown timer, which will detonate explosives planted at key points in the building's structure. If these bombs detonate, the entire building will collapse, and Jennifer Garner has to race around throughout the parking structure and defuse these bombs.
Goddamnit. That's good.

My second TV show reference of the day...

Seemed relevant to me...
