They also say that there are explosive “squibs” that can be seen going off in the buildings. Research has been done on this theory by professionals, engineers and others, who oppose this belief and have looked at this issue, and have gathered evidence against it. The conflicting group says the reason the building fell down at its speed is because of a process known as pancaking, or professionally called progressive collapse. The studies of the people led them to believe that there was an initial localized failure around the impact zone of the plane and that was likely what led to the progressive collapse. Further studies by a person known as Doctor Seffen have led the person to believe that their calculations of the building would take around nine seconds for the buildings to fall down. At the University of Cambridge, they say it was “a fair assumption in terms of how the building fell.” How the building fell and how fast was not the only thing they looked at. The group looked at the evidence of
