No, sorry if I didn't make myself clear (that's an honest apology, not a sarcastic one)
The building is designed to not deform under normal loading, and above normal loading to a certain extent for safety reasons. That way if the floor is rated to 1000kg per square metre, and someone actually puts 1000kg per square metre load on it, then the building will be well within its safety limit, rather than being right on the edge of it.
The problem with 9/11 was that the buildings exceeded those limits, because large amounts of the support structure was damaged by the impact of the planes. This means that while the building was designed not to deform while it worked within its limits, when it was pushed beyond those limits, the steel could no longer hold out.
Or in other words, the building was designed to resist deformation up to a point.

These jref people are mendacious and malicious
They are undoubtedly influenced by Intelligence/mind contol agencies to keep people in an endless loop

No, I think we've come to a stop, because no-one seems to be able to prove the explosive demolition theory.
