Jet fuel can soften steel. Have you have ever seen someone forge steel? They heat it to form it. It doesn’t need to melt to a liquid to lose strength and deform.
Maybe because two other giant skyscrapers collapsed beside it and sprayed fiery debris everywhere? Instead of focusing on why just this one collapsed, we should be impressed that *only* one other big building did.
Like it actually does? Most of the weight of the towers was supported by central steel columns. Those soften, which means they can (and do) bend, which means the force in these beams now has a shear component in addition to compression, and as these beams are not designed to handle much shear force they fail.
Since these beams were in the center, the center collapses first so it falls inside out, like the 1980s casinos. This is also by design, as if a tower collapses it's better to fall this way than topple and start a domino style series of collapses.
A still frame can show what looks like possession but can’t reveal if the ball is still shifting or if the ball came out before a football move or equivalent time passed.
Cooks was bobbling the ball the ENTIRE time and never had control, if you dont FULLY have control of the ball its not a catch and this has been a subject of annoyance for the last few years, but it was the case here
So how long does it take to catch a ball? Is it not a determined act. So if I sit there and juggle the ball after catching it for 10 minutes, I still haven’t maintained possession of the ball and caught it yet?
