Characteristics of the Twin Tower Collapses and What They Show

You aren't a freakin structural engineer.
You never will be a freakin' structural engineer.
Hell you probably can't put IKEA furniture together
without a consultant.

Nah, he gets his PRC Chinese buddy to read the instructions, which loosely
translated from Mandarin read; "rotate the locking cam on the post with a
flat-head screwdriver until it is aligned with the portrusion on the frame
rail". Having unlocked the key to assembling it, he then digs up a drywall
screw he found at the bottom of one of the kitchen drawers, grabs an
irregularly shaped rock from the back yard garden, then starts whacking on
it in the finest pre-Iron Age Cro-Magnon tradition. He then wraps it a few
times with duct tape, puts a trash bag sized twist tie around the whole
thing, and Voi'la! Yep, Obwon's an expert at collapsing structures,
allright... :O|

Wait a minute! These instructions above sound like the same ones used
to tune up my lil' Ford pickup truck.

Heck, I had an old 4-cylinder Ranger at one point, and a "tune up" meant
knocking the crud off of the old well-gapped spark plugs and adjusting the
size of the duct tape patch over the air intake to adjust the fuel/air
mix... :Oo
