Did you get your degree in civil engineering from Looney Tunes University? Because this is flat-out wrong.

I'm sorry but I should have clarified that it wouldn't have started to bend from the ground up. The analogy is a bit flawed perhaps a better analogy would have been that the tower should have toppled over like a tree that has been axed on once side.

If you look at the diagrams in this thread the damage from the 2nd plane I believe was done on only one side of the building where both the inner and outer steel beams were heavily damaged. This means that on a couple of floors the support structure was severely weakened on one side while almost completely intact on the other. So, if all those fairytales of weakening steel were true then the MISSING STEEL on one corner coupled with the weakened steel theory should have slowly caused the top of the building to keel over and topple to the side while the bottom portion of the tower remained intact.
