verification note

DOI and full bibliographic record confirmed via CrossRef 2026-08-26; publisher text paywalled and not obtained, so no passage is quoted from it here. Note for reviewers: this DOI embeds parentheses, which automated identifier checkers truncate — a tooling artifact, not a malformed citation.

reliability notes

• Peer-reviewed and directly addressed to the demolition hypotheses; not an end-to-end simulation of either tower's total progression, which no published work has produced.
• No content quotation is authorized from this record until the text is obtained.
