BBC Horizon - The Fall of the World Trade Center

As usual, this is another excellent BBC Horizon documentary. Made in 2002, this is the minute by minute story of what happened to the World Trade Center on 9/11.

This is a good video but NIST's latest findings tell a different story now.

Things like:
* The trusses pulled the outer columns inward to breaking point initiating the collapse.
* The towers fell in 9 and 11 seconds (not 30 as stated in the video)
* There was no progressive collapse or pancaking but the floors below offered almost zero resistance to the momentum of the falling upper section.

Thanks for that info, dr20. I knew that new details emerged after further investigation, but wasn't sure where the discrepancies were. Still, given the information at the time of this show's production I'd say it's a good documentary.
