Americans will never forget the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. One commentator remarked that the force of the explosion at the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center was strong enough to blow glass and parts of the steel structure to small fragments. Yet the television coverage showed thousands of sheets of paper floating down, many still intact. Explain how that could be.
