Evidence of this being a non HSS building is from? NIST? UL? 911 Commission?
Pictures of the debris. Pictures of the construction. If the column section in your first photograph had been filled with concrete, trust me, you would know it.
Dust and concrete were everywhere during the collapse. Lots of water doused flames and lots of moving were done to the material without any forensic investigation that would determine your conjecture. We do not and cannot know this as an argument. We can however assess if HSS was used before or near the construction of the Twin Towers and if this was constructed with reinforced concrete? I would think it would be a simple question to answer factually? That search and rescue website seems to think so.

At the heart of the structure was a vertical steel and concrete core, housing lift shafts and stairwells. S
