      9. Rapid Collapses and Conservation of Momentum and Energy
      10. Controlled Demolition "Implosions" Require Skill
      11. Steel Column Temperatures of 800ºC Needed: A Problem in the Argument of Bazant and Zhou
      12. Problems in the NIST Report: Inadequate Steel Temperatures and Tweaked Models
      13. NIST's Failure to Show Visualizations
