It is physically IMPOSSIBLE for a smaller portion of building to completely crush a much larger and stronger portion without additional assistance.

Basic grade school physics.

For every action there is an EQUAL AND OPPOSITE reaction.

30 floors of building can crush at most 30 floors before being completely consumed by the forces involved.

That is not true. Keep in mind that higher up floors have higher amounts of potential energy than lower portions.

The crushing forces are applied equally to both the top and the bottom. The top is not immune to being crushed because it is on top.

Why is equal and opposite so hard for some idiots to understand.

30 floors cannot crush more than 30 floors, there will be no solid material anymore to do the crushing.

If I drive my car at 100 miles an hour into a semi truck going 0, I’m not going to crush the whole fucking truck because I have more potential energy.

Please let everyone know where you went to school so we avoid sending our kids there.

Totally agree. Also it's not like the top 30 floors were dropped from above into the bottom section. It should have fallen over not collapse into its own fucking footprint. Demolition experts today can demolish abuilding and give you whatever size chunks of material you want. This building was turned into dust essentially. No fucking way that happened naturally.
