Here's a fascinating video that a guy took from his rooftop north of the WTC on 9/11. It's several videos spliced together so the time clock is not real time.
He used a camera with a super zoom lens. He has started filming after the 1st plane hit the South Tower.

Interesting

(whoops! 1st plane hit the North Tower. He is filming from north of that.)

1. 5:08 2nd plane hits the South Tower
2. 15:40 molten steel is falling from the NE corner of the South Tower. This is evidence of a thermitic reaction that has started prematurely.

The reaction is Iron Oxide + Aluminum yields Iron + Aluminum Oxide + a lot of Energy (heat)

What you are seeing is molten iron falling from the corner of the tower as this incendiary device is burning a slot through the width of the steel column to weaken it.

3. 16:18 South

Tower collapses. Giant clouds of pulverized concrete can be seen, forming a pyroclastic flow that covers southern Manhattan. The majority of the concrete in the building was in the 4" thick floor panels, covering approx 3/4 of an acre. 110 stories. So LOTS of dust

deliberately created so that there would be no concrete slabs to deal with during the clean-up, which would significantly add to the clean-up time. Also, the dust obscures the explosions that are happening from top to bottom as the controlled demolition progresses.

4. 25:46 Notice that the fire is almost gone out in the North Tower. The Tower is not buckling in any way (it was designed to withstand the impact of a giant airliner). So almost all the heat has gone away from the jet fuel and office furniture burning. The ridiculous

notion that the 9/11 Commission reported that the floor trusses gave way because of thermal degradation can be seen to be a giant lie. Besides, some of the floor trusses had been torn through by the aircraft, and the floors didn't "pancake" then...so it's a giant lie.

5. 26:45 The North Tower falls. BUT NOTICE! At 26:49, you can see some columns still standing, approx 60 stories high. These are the columns that were NOT accessible via the elevator shafts and so no explosives were placed there. A few seconds later, the columns finally

fall.

6. Note the gargantuan pyroclastic flows of concrete dust. Approx 50,000 tons of concrete per Tower were pulverized.

7. Important! At 34:00, the camera guy reports that "continuing explosions" are underway. These are the explosions inside WTC7, which took out the

electrical plant in the basement of WTC7, and destroyed the staircases so that nobody could ascend.

8. 42:00 Fires visible inside WTC7 but they are rather small.

9. 43:00 Smoke visible ascending from behind WTC7. There were more fires on the south side of the bldg than

the north side.

10. 43:18 WTC7 collapses. Again, huge pyroclastic flows of pulverized concrete.

Here's the video:
