Has Anyone Seen A Realistice Explanation For Free Fall Of The Towers? [Archive] - Page 31

Here's how I see it:

--------------------------

Question #1:
Why do you think it was freefall?

A: It is most accurate to say the towers fell at near free fall because the exact moment they stopped falling cannot be exactly determined.

Conclusion: Substitute "near free fall" for "free fall" in all claims.

--------------------------

Question #2:
What is near free fall? Would that include a rate of fall that takes air resistance into account? Or is there a +/- value you can give us that separates near free fall from some other category of fall?

A1: The issue of free fall is minor. If they took 20 seconds is doesn't matter to me. The fact that they did so identically to the ground is ASTOUNDING. Defying logic totally if described as "collapse".

A2: Consider that it is actually unimportant as too the exact rate of fall. What is importnat is the explanation as to HOW they fell that fast, however fast it was.

A3: The explanation for the rate of fall is the point of the thread. If it is not exactly free fall, this is a minor issue. the rate of fall was way too fast.

A4: The historical posts in the thread accept that I have retracted "free fall" and adjusted it to "nearly free fall" and reasonably so because we simply do not know when the debris stopped falling.

Proposed conclusion: Substitute "rate of fall was way too fast" for all claims regarding "free fall" and "near free fall".

--------------------------

Question #3:
What, exactly, is the rate of fall (by which I mean, what is the rate of downward acceleration of main structure members), and what rate of fall is expected during a total structural collapse of this building?

--------------------------

ChristopherA clings to a term to which he will give no meaning, so I propose we accept it as unanswered, then move to the next question.

This new approach is interesting, in that it shows the evasiveness we're up against. If we can't even agree terms Chris, you can hardly expect an adequate answer to your question now, can you?

As I've said, the title field only accomodates a certain amount of text. You are attempting to make a non issue, an issue.

And you are waffling.

s not your role to decide what is most important in what I ask. Clearly, an explanation is the point not the exact rate.

But without understanding the rate, no explanation can be forthcoming.

If the rate were, say, 14 m/s/s, obviously no normal rational explanation could cover such a rate of acceleration; if, however, the rate were, say, closer to 5 m/s/s, the rational explanation is that the structure of the building failed, and the tower suffered overall collapse.

Consider this analogy:

A: "Why were you speeding?"
B: "What do you mean speeding? How fast was I going?"
A: "The important thing isn't how fast you were going, it's why you were going as fast as you were."
B: "And how fast was that? If I was doing 45mph I wasn't speeding; if I was doing 95mh I probably was; so how fast was I going?"
A: "Well, you were nearly speeding; why?"
B: "What is nearly speeding?"
.... and so on.

You're saying something is wrong, but refusing to define what, exactly, is wrong!

Clearly, if you read the thread, that the historical posts in the thread accept that I have retracted "free fall" and adjusted it to "nearly free fall" and reasonably so because we simply do not know when the debris stopped falling.

Problem being that A) you haven't defined what 'near free fall' means; and B) you don't need to know when the debris stopped falling; all you need is to be able to calculate where the debris was over a set of times, say, every 1/10th of a second, and determine the rate of downward acceleration.

This is not a physics discussion.

WRONG! THIS IS EXACTLY A PHYSICS DISCUSSION!!! ONLY PHYSICS CAN DEAL WITH A QUESTION ABOUT THE RATE OF FALL!!!!

If I intended it to be such I would have titled the thread, "What is free fall and did the towers do that?" Or something like that.

And so you did.

More pertinant to the gist of the issue is the strcuture that fell too fast.

So what does 'too fast' mean?

This is EXACTLY the problem, Chris. You're throwing the term out and not telling anyone what that means. It's meaningless, Chris.

I'm certain FEMA lied.

And we're certain you're lying. You've already demonstrated a piss-poor memory for details and facts, and a willingness to make up lies on the fly. So why should we believe you over anyone else?

If you knew about materials you would know that steel core columns cannot be cut to fall instantly.

And that the towers didn't fall 'instantly'. Instantly would mean that the time between the beginning of the fall and the subsequent settling would be effectively zero, which we can tell it was not. However, since you have a problem with how fast the towers fell, the first thing you need to do is tell us how fast the towers fell, and how fast they should have fallen.

the underlying issue is the concrete core,

The underlying issue is irrelevant until the initial question is properly defined. Period.

http://algoxy.com/i'matotalasshat.html

More attention-whoring for your crap website. Quit the nonsense, Chris, and deal with the question.

because concrete can be fractured to fall instantly.

Unlikely.

THSI FACTOR can EXPLAIN the high rate of fall.

WHICH WAS WHAT, CHRIS???

So the thread has been anturally an properly focused and your attempts to re focus it are diversionary tactic.

The only diversionary tactic being employed at the moment is by you.

FACT: You initially ask for an explanation for how the towers fell at free fall.

FACT: You have changed this to 'near free fall'.

FACT: You have now changed this to 'falling way too fast'.

FACT: You have NEVER, not ONCE, properly defined what you mean by either 'near free fall' nor by 'falling way too fast'. Until you can define these terms, we can neither agree nor disagree and cannot examine ANY explanation for ANY of these phenomenae. I could just as easily claim the towers fell 'way too slow', and demand an explanation.

So, quit the idiotic diversionary tactic, and address the question at hand:

What does 'falling too fast' mean? What was the rate of downward acceleration?

If you refuse to exactly define what you mean, I will counter that the towers fell exactly as fast as they should have fallen, consistant with a steel core building suffering structural failure from impact and subsequent thermal damage, and point out that any disagreement from you is irrelevant until you define how fast the towers fell, and compare that collapse rate to the expected rate of collapse of the towers.

So please, Chris, stay on target: what is 'way too fast'?

christophera, let's approach it this way.

i could contend that the towers started falling at 08:47 and 09:03 on 9/11 (wtc north tower and wtc south tower respectively) and took 103 and 58 minutes to fall. i could then argue that (the rate of fall) was (roughly) 10 metres per minute in the first case and 20 metres per minute in the last case. removing the tongue from my cheek, i could then ask you whether you think my calculations are correct. couldn't i? then we could agree or disagree or even compromise on a solution and then perhaps move on. right?

Christopher, let me see if I can explain to you everyone's dilemma here. You claim that the topic at hand is an explanation for why the towers fell at the rate that they did (whether that rate is "too fast", "near free fall", or whatever). Fine, we'll discuss possible reasons. But to do so, we first need to know at what rate you think the towwers fell.

You understand why this is necessary, don't you? If they fell at one rate, there might be one explanation. If they fell at another rate, there might be another explanation. So to pin down the correct explanation, we first need to pin down at what rate you think they fell. Does that make sense?

All we need to know is they fell too fast and there is no question about that. Your disinformation tactic of selectivity is tremendously obvious.

Explanations are the point of the thread not minutia of free fall.

I explain how rates of free fall might be attained. (http://algoxy.com/psych/9-11scenario.html)

I contend that after you solve (sic) you non existent issue of exactly "how fast", and "what is free fall anyway", you still won't be able to prove it could happen with the core you so often fail to provide proof for, so after you waste our time with "how fast", and "what is free fall anyway", you are still lost because you don't have the correct structure.

You ask me to back a claim that does not need backing. It is obvious that the towers fell to fast.

More obvius than that they fell identically to the ground. Impossible for a collapse.

Your insistence on making the free fall claim an issue is simple collusion in an attempt to make unreasonable selectivity appear reasonable.

So two towers, built in the same way, hit by identical airliners at about the same height, fell in the same way? WOW!

We are asking relevant questions. We select points that are obviously very important to you.

Explanations are the point of the thread not minutia of free fall.
First you must show that the towers fell too fast, and only then try to explain it. If it didn't happen there's no need to explain it. Don't you agree?

But this is YOUR issue.

...you still won't be able to prove it could happen with the core you so often fail to provide proof for, so after you waste our time with "how fast", and "what is free fall anyway", you are still lost because you don't have the correct structure.
But "how fast" is exactly your point of this thread!

Now in science, to be close to something you'd have to off by only a very minute measurement (ie in time, you'd have to be off by on a fraction of a second to beconsidered "close" or near)

That's not quite right.

What is considered 'close' would depend on (a) the order of accuracy you have measured to (represented by significant figures) and (b) the magnitude of the phenomenon being measured.

An example of (a) would be - if you are measuring, say, the time it takes someone to run 5km (or miles, but I'm in Australia), and you used two different stopwatches. Say the average time is 30mins.

The first stopwatch has divisions in minutes, the second in groups of 5 minutes. Measured on the first stopwatch, you could report a measurement of 26 +-1 minutes, and you could say that this is NOT close to average, it is considerably faster. Measured on the second stopwatch, you could report a measurement of approx. 25 +-5 minutes, and the argument could be made that at such an order of accuracy, this IS close to the average.

An example of (b) is geological time. This time scale often talks of hundreds of millions of years. On this scale, 10000 years (which seems like an incredible period of time to a normal person) is considered a VERY SHORT period of time.

Christophera: Stay on target. Once this question has been dealt with, the socks will be passed on and we will focus on another part of your hypothesis. This is not about evasion, it is about being systematic.

Wrong, the explanation for the rate of fall is the point of the thread. If it is not exactly free fall, this is a minor issue. the rate of fall was way too fast.

Okay, but if we're going to focus on the explanation for the rate of fall, don't you think we should FIRST establish the ACTUAL rate of fall and determine if, indeed, it is "way too fast" ?

It is common sense and knowledge. If you've got it and can use it you may be capable of arguing reasonably here.

Those are fundamental questions. Without an answer to them we cannot proceed logically.

Pretend you are explaining it to someone who can't analyze te video on their own. Suppose you were explaining it to a child. You say "It fell too fast." They say "How do you know?" What's your next response?

I don't think it's unreasonable for you to say "They fell too fast" and for us to respond "Prove it". You say it's obvious. It isn't obvious to us. If it's so incredibly obvious, it ought to be incredibly easy to prove.

I think, generally speaking, people on here would be more than happy to discuss reasons for the rate of fall, once the rate of fall is established. We are not trying to avoid discussion...just proceed along it point by point, logically.

Would you accept a ticket for speeding withhout proof from the cop that you were actually speeding?

15th November 2006, 05:37 AM

What is the rate of fall, Chris, and what is the expected rate of fall? Saying it 'obviously fell too fast' won't cut the cheese here, Chris. It didn't obviously fall too fast; it obviously fell just perfectly. It's up to you to demonstrate, using mathematics and physics, how the towers cannot have fallen at the rate they did (which requires you to show the rate of downward acceleration of the towers, as well as the expected rate of their descent). This is your claim; the burden of proof is on you.

I think, for once in this board's life, we have a consensus to discuss NO OTHER ISSUE with you in this thread until you either retract your claims that the towers fell too fast, or provide the rate at which the towers fell, and an expected rate of collapse.

That's the current state of affairs, Chris. Deal with the initial issue in your post, and we'll move on. I'm sure there are plenty here who want to discuss 'total pulverisation', 'identical collapse', 'to the ground', etc. BUT NO ONE WILL DISCUSS ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL YOU DEAL WITH THE COLLAPSE RATE ISSUE.

Welcome to the new order, Chris.

The Almond

15th November 2006, 08:28 AM

All we need to know is they fell too fast and there is no question about that.

Here's where the problem with this argument lies. You're attempting to start a discussion wherein the opponents of your theory are asked to make a major concession supporting your theory without evidence. That's no basis for a reasonable exchange of ideas. Can you imagine an argument between a theist and an athiest that starts out, "Ok, the first thing we have to agree on is that God does not exist."

Explanations are the point of the thread not minutia of free fall.

Again, your argument rests on the assumption that the towers did indeed fall too fast, which people here have challenged. This is part of a specific logicall fallacy known as "Begging the question" wherein you attempt to prove the correctness of your assumptions as the basis for asking the question, "Why did the towers fall too fast?" In assuming that they did, you make a fallacial argument.

I contend that after you solve (sic) you non existent issue of exactly "how fast", and "what is free fall anyway",

Why should we solve the problem? If your claim is that they fell too fast, prove that they did. You make the claims, you provide the proof.

you still won't be able to prove it could happen with the core you so often fail to provide proof for, so after you waste our time with "how fast", and "what is free fall anyway",

Ok, I'm still a little fuzzy on this argument. You believe that the WTC towers contained a concrete core of some type that would have slowed the collapse of the towers to speeds well below those achieved with free fall. The only way to achieve the free fall speeds, you claim, is to prematurely destroy the core itself so as to provide instantaneous collapse.

It would follow that your argument then diagrams like this:
If the towers were brought down by controlled demolitions
Then they would have experienced free fall collapse
And if a concrete core existed in tact
Then free fall collapse cannot exist
Q1: Collapse of the towers was too fast
P1: A concrete core exists
By Q1, If A
Then B
By P1, And if C
Then Not B

What you have is called a Non-Sequitor fallacy where you're attempting to imply a causal relationship between A and B by disproving Not B. You can't make an inference such that If A Then B, Not B, Therefore Not A. That means you can't logically prove that a concrete core would have prevented free fall collapse in the same argument where you prove that the towers fell too quickly as means to prove controlled demolition. Furthermore, it has been shown that your postulates Q and P are false, though you seem unwilling to yield to the evidence.

you are still lost because you don't have the correct structure.

I don't think anyone here is lost.

as i stated before, i could argue that the towers collapse began right at the instant of the plane impacts. by this reckoning the towers took 58 and 103 minutes to fall. you state this argument is "bogus" but give no reason why you think it is. why is that argument bogus? why is it not reasonable for me to think that might be the case?
why is it so difficult for you to offer your analysys + estimation of the time it took for each tower to fall?

It seems so - I keep forgetting to show off the :socks:. Keeping my feet warm, you see.

And I've sworn to relinquish the socks when either a) he retracts the notion that the towers 'fell too fast', or b) defines/demonstrates the rate at which they fell, and a thoughtful and mathematically correct rate at which they ought to have fallen.

Given his track record so far, the most reasonable point would be to concede the rate of fall issue and move on; however, since we know his reasoning skills are deficient, I expect he's going to waffle some more, shout some accusations about those magical 1300 foot long solid pieces of steel that ought to exist, and maybe, eventually, tell us that the fall rate was 17 seconds, or mu, or some other number/symbol that does not actually represent a rate of acceleration. Then he'll waffle some more, claim that the rate of fall isn't an issue, backtrack to 'near free fall', make some more accusations, and desperately try to get everyone to forget he made a specific claim without backing it up. Oh, and let us not forget - posting his links to one of his websites, since surely that will up his traffic.

Realistically, as a hypothetical alternative to demolition, or a collapse, I would expect only the top of the towers above the impact pints to fall and they would topple with that piece falling at near free fall.

A collapse doe not go all the way to the ground unless the structure topples.

What we saww was not a collapse and this image clearly shows it was not. The image shows what can only be a high speed series of well contained detonations by high explosives which are optimally placed and dsitributed which progresses from the top down.

Once again, I'm not going to begin, or in this instance, barge into a debate where I'm asked to conceed a point as a pretense to discussion. I demand that we begin from neutral grounds with each party bringing in evidence to support each claim. That's simply not been done here.

Go find a thread dedicated to "Did the towers fall at free fall?"

Would you care to post an instance where you have provided evidence for, and conclusively proven that the towers fell, in their entirety, at free fall acceleration. For the last 15 pages of this thread, people have been asking you to produce direct evidence that the towers fell at a particular acceleration or speed, and you've been doging the question.

This thread IS about explanations for the strictly incredible rates of fall IF the event was supposed to be a collapse.

So, rather than providing direct evidence for your first postulate, you seek now to engage in a debate where everyone conceeds the point to you? Why should we do that?

Auxilary, and not included in the thread title is "How could 2 towers with completely differnet damages fall in nearly identical ways to the ground?"

Would you care to define the term "nearly identical" as it relates to this discussion? See, when you attach qualifiers to an event, you need to give some specificity. For instance, "Most of the concrete on I-95 is not cracked or damaged" is not as conclusive as the term "60% of the concrete on I-95 is not cracked or damaged." How do you define "nearly"? How do you relate the damage? Similarly, how do you define completely different? A plane hit both towers, stripped off fireproofing and ignited secondary fires. Is the damage not then similar? Are they nearly identical?
The explanation to that question would be the same as to the free fall question.

If you have other credible explanations, and collapse has already been deemed INCREDEBLE, post them. Otherwise if you wish to change the topic, start a new thread.

I've got a credible explanation. But I'll need you to conceed the point that the NIST report is factually accurate before we can begin a discussion. If you conceed the factual accuracy of the NIST report, I'll conceed that the towers fell at near free fall speeds.

We're laser focused on this issue. We even tried to set up rules to concentrate on one subject (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?postid=2093936#post2093936) at a time. You are dancing away from answering the simple question of how fast the towers fell.

Yes, and it has been explained that the thread title field doesn't have room for qualifying the statement with more complexity.

Stay on target Chris! This is not an answer to the question. You were not asked about the type of collapse, you were asked about the rate.

So, once again: How fast did the towers fall? How fast should they have fallen?

You are in error.

But there IS a question about that, Chris. HOW FAST did it fall, and HOW FAST would you EXPECT IT to fall ?

Those are fundamental questions. Without an answer to them we cannot proceed logically.

Within the descriptions the type of fall dictates how fast and I've stated that when toppling the falling portion falls at free fall.

An explanation for what appears as a series of explosions is found here,

http://algoxy.com/psych/9-11scenario.html

The first part of th thread title is;

"Has Anyone Seen A Realistic Explanation", the term free fall simply references a rate of fall which is obviously too fast. if you cannto accept that then you are not capable of engaging the discussion.

This thread IS about explanations for the strictly incredible rates of fall IF the event was supposed to be a collapse.

Please indulge us. In what way is it "obvious"? In what way are these rates "incredible"?

Ther is only one explanation on the entire internet to the near free fall and pulverization of the twin towers which is comprehesive to all factors and it is found here.

Chris, you are asking us to agree to an assumption and then explain a cause for that situation. First we need to make sure it is a valid assumption. What you are doing is very similar to saying, "Since it is obvious the Titanic was not sunk by an iceberg, we need to explain how it was sunk."

The NIST report tells you how the WTC collapse could happen, and as we saw, it did happen. No explosives and you ideas on the explosive place during construction are so wrong, they could never happen.

Below is what we saw. In no way does it resemble a collapse which automatically renders the NIST report as a waste of taxpayers money designed to conceal the true event.

To stay focussed, are you retracting your claim that the towers fell too fast? Or at least admitting that you do not know how fast they ought to have fallen?

Before we can discuss pulverisation, plumes and mushroom shapes you have to:

a. concede that the rate of fall is irrelevant to your thesis; or

b. produce evidence that the rate of fall is too fast to indcate a collapse.

Once we have dealt with the issue of the rate of fall, we can move on to other issues.

William Rea

15th November 2006, 03:17 PM

Ok, if we're going to be sensible and focussed and the usual monkey brains aren't going to keep chipping in with their inane contributions I'll kick off...

Free fall means falling ONLY under the influence of gravity with no other forces being involved. In this pure state the object will fall at 9.81 metres per second squared regardless of mass. It will continue to accelerate at this rate unless acted upon by any other force.

If anyone wants to come forward with the actual value of g for the New York District we could be more precise but I think 9.81 metres per second squared is an adequate approximation. The actual value for New York is 9.802 metres per second so the time to free fall would actually be 9.158 seconds.

If you were to take a weight and drop it in a vacuum from the height of the roof of the WTC at 411 metres from the ground then it will take 9.15 seconds to hit the ground.

Those are facts and a suitable benchmark to start from.

How can we establish how long it took the tower to fall from the point at which near free fall conditions occurred, anyone want to chip in with the video evidence?

jsfisher

15th November 2006, 03:26 PM

Let's everyone stay on topic, here. The (compound) question on the floor is at what rate did the buildings fall and at what rate should they have fallen?

Whether clarification comes from physics, one particular poster's common sense, or mystic forces from Planet X matters not one twit. A value range or value and margin of error can be a sufficient response to frame the notion of "too fast", by the way.

Arus808

there is really no "concrete" way to establish how long it took since much of the collapses were obscured by the debris and dust from teh buildings.

NIST measured the collapse from time they saw the start of collapse to when they couldn't see it anymore (meaning the dust/debris/cloud of smoke obscured what they couldn't measure).

unless someon was there physically that day with a stop watch and watched the entire thing unfold and measured it, there is no evidence of the actual length for each collapse.

hellaeon

15th November 2006, 03:36 PM

Well if you want to be realistice *nyuk nyuk ah im so funny* you would need to pinpoint all the individual debree. You cant treat the tower as a whole when there would be meters of difference between some lower ejecting debree and the top most in the 'debree' field if thats what I could call it.

at what rate did the buildings fall and at what rate should they have fallen?

they may have fallen at X seconds but surely for an overall guide to eliminate error is to focus one at a time on many pieces, and record the time they begin to fall. Discounting the ejection where some materials went outwards, wouldnt we want to specifically measure the time when they fell? It would depend on what your comparing it to.

edit: then get an average time for the pieces you specifically measured

If you compare it to dropping something, am I correct in thinking you cant measure it from when it begins ejection but from when the horizontal trajectory is 0?

I'd accept a reasonable time range, say, based on observations and stated assumptions of some cited video.

(By the way, of the videos I've found on the web, the north tower videos are more useful for this exercise.)

"Common sense" had us thinking the world was flat or that the planets and the sun circled the Earth for hundreds of years. Quantum mechanics is another example. Just because you think something is a certain way does not mean that it is so. You say the the building collapsed way too fast but you can't define why.

To be very clear on this fact, the towers did not entirely collapse in 12 seconds. NIST very specifically states that portions of both towers are known to have remained standing for 15 to 25 seconds after collapse initiation. The dust and debris ejected during the collapse obscured the view of this.

Near free fall means the buildingds would have to have fallen completely within hundreths of seconds of 9.1 seconds. The fact taht the NIST state that it could have taken 10 , 12 or as much as 25 seconds proves that it wasn't "near free fall"

But the question on the floor still is: How fast was it and how fast should it have been?

If we do ont what struutre stood the nature of how the towers cannot be determined in a menaingful way.

A collapse of a tower with those proportions with steel core columns will have the core columns toppling and bending/breaking usually in one direction as they were mostly damaged on one side. Core columns of those dimensions will be VERY visible and would be seen toppling then bending/breaking while attached to outer framework which drags them down destroying them. Columns in the center may stand at great heights after outer framework has fallen away.

They will never appear as this (http://amanzafar.no-ip.com/WTC/wtc41.JPG) does.

Ok, let's do the math:

12 seconds for 1368 feet to fall to the ground. That's an average velocity of 114 ft/s. In a gravity collapse, it would take 9.2 seconds or an average of 148 ft/s. The difference between the two answers is 23.4%. That's nowhere near my definition for "close to free fall" just like 30.8 miles per hour was not sufficient for the cop who pulled me over for speeding in a 25 mph school zone.

that it underlines the phenomena which NIST fails to explain. The elements that remain standing, out of site do so for for acceptable estimated periods.

This statement astounds me. The wrong appearance for a collapse? It collapsed. Theories aside, it did collapse.

The proper appearance would have taken minutes.
Even Judy Wood disagrees with you. Her analysis shows that the collapse couldn't have taken longer than 96.7 seconds.

Bolding mine.

I can live with this answer to the question. He doesn't expect it to collapse in less than two minutes. Hence, anything under two minutes is 'near free fall' or 'way too fast'.

And given such an answer, I'm not bothering with 'how can we measure the rate of collapse' - the point being, according to Chris here, that ANY rate of collapse resulting in the total failure of the building in under two minutes is wrong.

Now, let's imagine a building where pieces are falling away, slowly crumbling like an eroding mountain, taking three or four minutes to fall...

Nope. Can't imagine it. Neither can most of you.

But Chris here can.

Now, I'll pass the socks, but before I do I have one small, related question:

On what do you base this idea, that a building suffering catastrophic structural failure should fall in two minutes or more? Do you, maybe, have some video footage of buildings falling at this much slower rate, that were suffering from total catastrophic structural failure? Or documentation of buildings collapsing due to impacts that took proportionate lengths of time? Or is this more 'common-sense' judgement?

I actually don't expect Chris to answer this one. I expect him to offer some lame waffle about his qualifications (ditch-digger and picture-maker) and experience, while avoiding the subject of hard, raw evidence.

Therefore, I pass the socks. The first non-Chris who posts gets them.

The two minutes reference is probably from Judy Woods' calculations, though even she does not go as far as two minutes. However in her calculations the collapseing portion must come to a complete stop as it hits the next floor before collapse is initiated at this level. That is obviously not what was taking place and she makes very little in the way of justification as to why it should be that way.

a 10 second collapse(and the estimates run from 10 to 16 seconds for boith towers) for a fall of 415 meters this meansmeans an average acelleration of 8.3 meters per sec2
That is 15% less than free fall acceleration.

So far very few CT's have even tried to explain just how long the collpase should have taken. Judy Woods did but as I said her calculations are laughable.

That was what struck me about Wood's calculations. That's a rather laughable simplification of the model. Even if you used a two mass collapse theory, the derivative of the position curves at the lower floors should approach the free fall line as the damping coefficient approaches 1. I think someone ran a computer simulation in the "Judy Wood's Math" thread in Python that takes momentum into effect.

I do fine. Perhaps you cannot or willnot understand it. Firstly, those here attempt to term what happened to the twni towers as a collapse. That is so erroneous that no estimate of wat it should be is possible. If it were a collapse caused by plane impacts it would appear completely different and therefore have a completly different duration. Basically, givern the actual damage and actual towers structure that stood, no collapse whatsoever would have happened. Had any occured only the floors above would have fallen off.

meaning the entire premise for your post is fallacious and without basis as you cannot prove the structure that you so often fail to assert existed, actually did exist.

I do not have that problem. Here is concrete shear wall (http://algoxy.com/psych/images/corewallspirearrows.gif).

Well now I've heard everything.

I'm actually trying to imagine a skyscraper collapsing over a period of two minutes, and I can't, unless I imagine it happening in slow motion.A small quibble, if I may:

I would suggest the collapse began when each airplane struck each building. At those points the respective structures were reduced in their ability to maintain relative integrity against gravity's relentless pull.

So, each "collapse" did take quite some time. I know that people are referring here to each building's "fall" from its erect state to a pile of scrap, but I think the clarification is worth making.

That's quite a bold assumption. Is the entirety of the NIST report a fabrication? Who fabricated it? Why would they do that?

No, parts of the NIST report are factual. Entirely false fabrications are most oftem easily detected.

It was caused to be fabricated by individuals associated with the infiltration of the US government. It was ultimately done because they were too afraid to do anything else. The purpose of the fabrication was to conceal the true event at the WTC.

Want proof: Study high explosives and collapses which occurr with both steel cored towers and tubular concrete cores, the image below and the NIST report. The complete inconsistency of the NIST report of collaspse with the image and the images inconsistency with any collapse will be obvious.

How do you know? Based on what?

Based on the fact that if the towers were going to collapse they would have done it at impact, or shortly therafter, and only the portion above would have fallen.

Based on common sense.

Ok, ok, I know with the above question I put a hole in the socks. But now I'm back on topic (I think). Oliver wants to know what the upper floors weighed. I think a related question, a part B to it, if you will, is this:

Christophera, do you have any idea how much energy it would take to have the upper floors "fall off" to the side? Do you have any idea how much energy those floors, in falling down, impart to the structure below them?

They do not have enough energy to crush more than a floor or 2 before the mass decentralizes, especially considering the fact the damege was on one side, and rolls off to the side.

No, parts of the NIST report are factual. Entirely false fabrications are most oftem easily detected.
Perhaps that is an issue we can explore very soon, but the current question is:

Do you know how much weight was on top of the impact zones, you know - above the damaged and heated zones?

(And just so we don't get lost in yes/no responses, if the answer would be "yes", please provide an idea of what the weight would be.)

No idea. Intuitive parameters for loading and bearing capacities are at the basis of the algabraic origin of the formulas used to determine such things. It is sufficient for the needs here to say that there is no where near enough loading to do this. (http://mouv4x8.club.fr/11Sept01/A0069b_3_towerexplo1_explosion_below.jpg)

And your second sentence is an absolute fabrication. Structural engineers do not come up with their numbers through intuition. They get them through experience and careful calculation.

To sum up:

There would be no sideways movement of the upper floors. The impact of the airliners had been spent some time before. The only force then acting on the upper floors would be gravity - which acts downwards only.

I saw a film of the 1968 Ronan Point tower block collapse in this country (U.K.), caused by an initial gas explosion. The fire weakened the upper structure in one part of the building, and the floors began to collapse. The top one fell onto the next lower, which fell onto the next... it was all over very quickly, it fell vertically and there was an impresive debris plume. The building was perhaps 10 storeys, absolutely nowhere near the size of the WTC, so the acting forces were much less.

The building was constructed of post-stressed steel-reinforced concrete, which expanded and shattered with the heat of the gas fire. The collapse led to a change in legislation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronan_Point

That article even mentions the WTC!

OK, so I know the buildings are dissimilar, but my point is that a relatively small initial blast (gas/airliner) caused a catastrophic and VERY fast collapse.

bonavada

16th November 2006, 03:43 AM

A small quibble, if I may:

I would suggest the collapse began when each airplane struck each building. At those points the respective structures were reduced in their ability to maintain relative integrity against gravity's relentless pull.

So, each "collapse" did take quite some time. I know that people are referring here to each building's "fall" from its erect state to a pile of scrap, but I think the clarification is worth making.

i have to agree. call it pedantry if you like but like you i think collapse initiated at the time of impacts and the towers were both doomed at that point. collapse began with the shifting of loads onto the remaining capable load-bearing elements, the load bearing capabilities of these was then further lessened over time by the resultant fires. the steady deterioration continued until the catastophic failure brought the structures down. the basic answers are straight-forward.

the sad problem is that CT'ers like christophera abhor this simplicity and must weave a web of tangled falsehoods around what is essentially an uncomplicated sequence of events.

16th November 2006, 04:49 AM

Realistically, as a hypothetical alternative to demolition, or a collapse, I would expect only the top of the towers above the impact pints to fall and they would topple with that piece falling at near free fall.

A collapse doe not go all the way to the ground unless the structure topples.

An answer! Good.

Now, why do you think a building cannot collapse the way the WTC towers did ? You claim it would have had to topple, but my question is this : once 20+ floors fall onto the rest of the building, what's going to stop it ?

What we saww was not a collapse and this image clearly shows it was not. The image shows what can only be a high speed series of well contained detonations by high explosives which are optimally placed and dsitributed which progresses from the top down.

That is not obvious at all unless you can answer my above question.

Belz...

16th November 2006, 04:59 AM

A collapse of a tower with those proportions with steel core columns will have the core columns toppling and bending/breaking usually in one direction as they were mostly damaged on one side. Core columns of those dimensions will be VERY visible and would be seen toppling then bending/breaking while attached to outer framework which drags them down destroying them. Columns in the center may stand at great heights after outer framework has fallen away.

They will never appear as this (http://amanzafar.no-ip.com/WTC/wtc41.JPG) does.

That's dust. You said so yourself.

I'm the only one employing common sense here.

And it fails you miserably.

The proper appearance would have taken minutes.

This alone shows your ignorance of buildings and demolitions. A chain-reaction collapse CANNOT take minutes. If it was going to take minutes, it wouldn't be happening at all.

If it were a collapse caused by plane impacts it would appear completely different and therefore have a completly different duration.

I'd like to see your version of what should have happened and your calculations that support it. No "common sense" appeal, here. Common sense cannot tell you how complex collapses can occur.

After all, it tells you that the Earth is flat and that heavier objects fall faster.

Based on the fact that if the towers were going to collapse they would have done it at impact, or shortly therafter, and only the portion above would have fallen.

Based on common sense.

Common sense again. How about the fires ? Do you claim they can't possibly have damaged the structure further ?

They do not have enough energy to crush more than a floor or 2 before the mass decentralizes, especially considering the fact the damege was on one side, and rolls off to the side.

You're assuming a tower of LEGO blocks, now. The whole thing breaks apart as it falls. It doesn't stay in one block. How can it possibly "roll" to the side ?

Intuitive parameters for loading and bearing capacities are at the basis of the algabraic origin of the formulas used to determine such things. It is sufficient for the needs here to say that there is no where near enough loading to do this.

So, you're saying that your layman observation is better than actual calculations ? You don't "need" calculations because you think you're right, but in order to be right, you should have something to back your conclusion.

...But back to the question. What was the weight of the parts of the buildings above the impact points?

If others are allow to provide answers, which can be agreed or disagreed with;

http://www.house.gov/science/hot/wtc/wtc-report/WTC_ch2.pdf Section
2.2.1.1
American Airlines Flight 11 struck the north face of WTC 1 approximately between the 94th and
98th floors
2.2.1.5
Construction of WTC 1 resulted in the storage of more than 4x10^11 joules of potential energy over the
1,368-foot height of the structure. Of this, approximately 8x10^9 joules of potential energy were stored in the
upper part of the structure, above the impact floors, relative to the lowest point of impact.
2.2.2.1
United Airlines Flight 175 struck the south face of WTC 2 approximately between the 78th and 84th
floors.

For WTC 1, the top 12 floors of the tower translates into 8x10^9 joules of the total 4x10^11 joules. So, the top ~10.9% of WTC 1 contained ~2% of the entire PE of WTC 1. Extrapolating this on to WTC 2 (since the above mentioned report does not specify the amount PE contained above the WTC 2 impact point) we get the following:
WTC 2 => top 26 floors => ~23.6% of WTC 2.
If ~10.9% of WTC 1 translates into 8x10^9 joules PE
Then ~23.6% of WTC 2 translates into N joules PE
Therefore 10.9/8*10^9 = 23.6/N
=> 10.9*N/8*10^9 = 23.6
=> 10.9*N = 23.6*(8*10^9)
=> N = 23.6*(8*10^9)/10.9
=> N = 17321100917.431192660550458715596
=> N = 17.3*10^9 joules PE
=> ~34.7% of the entire PE of WTC 2
What does this mean? It means for WTC 1, that ~2% (8x10^9 joules) of PE was converted to KE almost instantaneously upon structural failure at floors 94-98. It means for WTC 2, that ~34.7% (17.3*10^9 joules) of PE was converted to KE almost instantaneously upon structural failure at floors 78-84.

Your analysis of engineer's "intuition" seems pretty far off to me. They may "guess" at a loading but you would have to qualify this as an "educated guess". Somehow it seems a lot more likely that they apply some basic calculations and methodology to a situation to come up with a quick answer. You may call that intuition but it's really just a product of years of advanced education . Science tends to trump intuition and common sense (a funny term to use in a debate like this since its completely subjective).

16th November 2006, 08:17 AM

I do fine. Perhaps you cannot or willnot understand it. Firstly, those here attempt to term what happened to the twni towers as a collapse. That is so erroneous that no estimate of wat it should be is possible. If it were a collapse caused by plane impacts it would appear completely different and therefore have a completly different duration. Basically, given the actual damage and actual towers structure that stood, no collapse whatsoever would have happened. Had any occured only the floors above would have fallen off.

See, this is exactly my point as to the quality and nature of your "raw" evidence. Here you are making unsubstantiated claims without backing them up. How do you know that a plane impact on the twin tower would have looked or behaived differently? On what evidence or previous data do you base that claim on. What other 1,300 foot building with the same architecture as the towers had passenger liners crash into them?
The fact is that you don't know. We all don't know. This is the first time it happened.
The bomber crash on the Empire State building does not apply because the bomber was smaller, slower and lighter than the 767s and the architecture of the building was different.

All we have to go on is whatever information we can obtain from data such as the parameters and characteristics of the plane, fuel, architecture and materials that were present and the laws of physics and compare them the outcome that we observed (building collapse).
That is something that the NIST did.
and MIT: http://web.mit.edu/civenv/wtc/ ..Who is not a government agency btw.

The truth is you have no data, you have no facts, you do not have any credible or reliable sources for your info. Your use of a Canadian highschool web site as a source is one example and constanlty refering to a documenatary for which there is no evidence of ever existing is another.
This is also the reason your court cases keep getting dissmissed. The court papers you posted on web site repeatedly state that you have no evidence.
And because of this cronic lack of evidence you resort to creating or inventing evidence. Your drawing of the ficticious concrete core which you say is based on the aformentioned ficticious documentary is an example of how you make up evidence not to mention pointing to empty spaces and smudges in low resolution and blurry pictures.

Bonavada has the socks; the topic now is 'total pulverization' of the towers.

By Yahoo Dictionary:

TOTAL {ADJECTIVE}:

Of, relating to, or constituting the whole; entire. See Synonyms at whole.
Complete; utter; absolute: total concentration; a total effort; a total fool.

PULVERIZE {VERB}:
tr.

To pound, crush, or grind to a powder or dust.
To demolish.

So we have four possible meanings:

1. The entire tower was crushed into powder or dust.
2. The entire tower was demolished.
3. The towers were utterly crushed into dust.
4. The towers were utterly demolished.

Now, Chris, in keeping with Bonavada's question, what do you mean by 'total pulverisation', and what is your evidence?

The one on the left shows the right side of the tower going up. This may occur to a very small degree but very little. The left side would crush and go downward to a degree where the mass would rotate off the supporting tower and then fall.

The diagram on the right shows the left side of the tower going inside, to the right, meaning that the core would have to shear off, rightward, something that is not going to happen in a natural collapse. That happened but was caused by explosions which are captured on video and in stills. (http://mouv4x8.club.fr/11Sept01/A0069b_3_towerexplo1_explosion_below.jpg)

The drawing on the right illustrates what the video shows. The upper section rotated and collapsed straight into the floors below which is exactly what would happen if the steel columns on one side of the core had given away and allowed the mass to move thus gaining momentum. You can't accept it because it goes against your concrete core hypothesis, which, btw, is not backed up by any reliable source.

Considering all of the experts (or at least enough of them to impress you) are too terrified to come forward, we have to rely on our own experience.

This is "conpsiracy theorist" talk .

that is a lie (as we know you are a liar). the Experts (thousands of them, you can start at the website http://www.asce.org ) have weighed in an agreed that the official reports accurately describe the events that lead to the buildings collapse.

They've provided their calculations based on their exeperience and knowledge in structural engineering, physics and fire safety.

What do you do for a living? What is your experience?

And what does that have to do with anything? Aren't we discussing what the experts have already weighed in on?

Recall tognazzini who worked for the PA saying the towers could sustain multiple plane impacts without failure.

Of course, he was making a "comment". He wasn't basing that on anything scientific or concrete. He also believed that the planes wouldn't be going "at full" speed, nor be fully loaded with jet fuel.

Since you haven't produced raw evidence of the steel core columns I am relieved of any responsibility for unreasonable requests for supporting calculations for common sense statements.

The fact I have proven to any reasonable, experienced accountable person that FEMA has lied about the design and construction of the towers renders all of your arguments nullified. All the deniers here.

OK, what happened to 'stay on target', guys?

Chris, when you claim the towers were 'totally pulverized', what you are actually saying was that all the concrete was reduced to dust, right?

What about photographic evidence of large chunks of concrete? What do you have to say about that?

Bonavada has the socks; the topic now is 'total pulverization' of the towers.

By Yahoo Dictionary:

TOTAL {ADJECTIVE}:

Of, relating to, or constituting the whole; entire. See Synonyms at whole.
Complete; utter; absolute: total concentration; a total effort; a total fool.

PULVERIZE {VERB}:
tr.

To pound, crush, or grind to a powder or dust.
To demolish.

So we have four possible meanings:

1. The entire tower was crushed into powder or dust.
2. The entire tower was demolished.
3. The towers were utterly crushed into dust.
4. The towers were utterly demolished.

Now, Chris, in keeping with Bonavada's question, what do you mean by 'total pulverisation', and what is your evidence?

Thanks again!

How can this be true when the only explanation for the tops of the towers falling the wrong way is based on the assertion that fires on the opposite sides caused weakening there when fuel/carbon fires do not get anywhere near hot enough to cause failures of the type asserted in steel?

You folks are not connecting with the obvious reality. The below image is absolutely a high speed series of explosions which are well contained by a mineral mass.

How do you explain the large sections of concrete visible in various photographs of the debris?

Hint: Not all of that was concrete 'from the plaza' - a large portion was concrete from the towers.

Hence, no total pulverization occured.

So you can either retract 'total pulverization', or explain the larger-than-sand-and-gravel sized debris visible in MANY pictures of Ground Zero.

The pilots knew each others targets, as is normal in air attacks, and were told that to hit at certain elevations assured more damage because explosives were planted there.

Here is the final seconds of the South spire shown in the earlier photo. A violent shock wave from below knocks the remnants of concrete from an area of core wall next to the steel dropping the spire as seen here in an animated gif.

The drawing on the right illustrates what the video shows. The upper section rotated and collapsed straight into the floors below which is exactly what would happen if the steel columns on one side of the core had given away and allowed the mass to move thus gaining momentum. You can't accept it because it goes against your concrete core hypothesis, which, btw, is not backed up by any reliable source.

Your delusion keep you from seeing reality.

You are basically trying to say that the steel core columns on one side of the building were cut by high explosives (http://mouv4x8.club.fr/11Sept01/A0069b_3_towerexplo1_explosion_below.jpg). The problem is that cutting half of the 47 columns would require a much larger blast than what we see. The interior box columns can be cut within the blast seen
(http://algoxy.com/psych/9-11scenario.html#anchor1233383) and if one 40 foot section of the concrete core was detonated with it the top of the tower would tilt as your diagram shows, except no part would be rotating upwards.

Then, your diagrams completely ignore what happned to the very top of WTC 2 where it fall the opposite direction as the middle part of the tower and lands on top of WTC 3. In this image (http://algoxy.com/psych/images/wtc2coreonto3.gif)

Here is what your experts say,

http://www.asce.org/pressroom/news/grwk/event_release.cfm?uid=1584

The team also concluded that fireproofing materials adhered to the steel structure during construction were likely blown off by the impact of planes and thus left the structure more vulnerable to the heat of the fire.

if not for the intense fire ignited by the thousands of pounds of fuel carried by the planes, and fueled by the contents of the buildings, the towers likely would have stood indefinitely. However, the two events occurring simultaneously led to the collapse.

"Likely blown off" Wow, ....... that is really accurate. And wow!, look at all the raw evidence they impliment.

Your reference is not credible and looks like they are blindly supporting the official story whereas my site utilizes raw evidence to prove there was a concrete core and then shows how it was used as a container for plastic explosives that was apart of explosives circuits (http://algoxy.com/psych/9-11scenario.html) which actually explains the event seen.

So now it's not just "not quite the right speed of fall" but "not quite the right sort of debris".

Christophera, for those of us who do not possess your instant grasp of physical matters, can you say how large the concrete chunks should be after hitting the ground? Despite all your claims of common sense, I can't see anything wrong there.

Can you attach pictures of a similar collapsed skyscraper to demonstrate the anomaly in the debris dimensions?

17th November 2006, 02:43 AM

Why, oh, why, am I so dense and thick-headed as to be unable to see what's so clear, reasonable, obvious, common-sense, undeniable and downright glaring to Christophera.

I must admit, I have no idea what rate a collapsing building should fall, nor how large the rubble tends to be. To my naive mind, the collapse should accelerate rapidly as more and more weight bears on the structure below. At the end, it seems to poor old stupid me, the building should be falling somewhere near 9.81 m/s/s.

After such a titanic impact, I wouldn't expect much to be left, either. I can shatter concrete with a sledgehammer blow, much less than the impact of a skyscraper.

Christopera, can you PLEASE abandon the "it's obvious", "it's undeniable" and "it stands to reason" tags and accept that it's NOT glaringly clear to us mortals. Leave common sense aside in favour of cold, hard facts.

I'd like to reiterate what has been asked many times before:

How fast should a large building fall if it collapses due to an airliner impact?
From what basis is this speed derived?
How is this different from a collapse caused by demolition explosives?
What difference would you expect to see in rubble size between a large building collapsing after an airliner impact and one being demolished?
Again, how do you know this?

In fact, I don't expect you to answer, Crhistophera, because I don't think you have anything. I expect if anything a round of "As any reasonable person could see" and so on.

However, I think I am a reasonable person, and I can't see.

If you won't even have a stab at answering these questions, I call troll. You're just wasting bandwidth with these unsupported, didactic assertions.

There are no reports of the plaza blowing up.

There are no reports of the towers blowing up, either.

Concrete from the towers is seen as sand and gravel.

Gotcha! I knew you'd say that.

Let me get this straight.

You claim that: All the concrete of WTC1 was blown to sand and gravel.
I say : Look at your own picture, there's non-pulverised concrete.
You say: It doesn't come from the towers.
I say: How do you know ?
You say: It's not in pulverised form.

So basically, your entire argument is based on circular reasoning. You know the tower was pulverised, but not because of the evidence, because the evidence clearly shows non-pulverised concrete. However, you're using your OWN conclusion to explain the "RAW" evidence that CONTRADICTS your claim.

It's like saying this:

Me: ALL dogs have four legs. There ARE no exceptions.
You: Look, Belz... at this picture, there's a three-legged dog!
Me: No, that's NOT a dog.
You: WHAT ? Why not ?
Me: It doesn't have four legs!

The rawest we have Belz.

Pictures ARE NOT raw evidence, chris, no matter if it's the only evidence you have. It's not RAW because it's not first-hand evidence. It's a picture of the evidence.

Talk to your own. They are the ones that asserted fires on the opposite sides were responsible.

Did you not see the pictures (raw evidence, for you) of fires on the opposite side of the tower ?

Both the towers were built with the ground up having 2 explosive circuits each floor of the floor circuit autonoumous from the next. Which is why it took 2 days to rig detonators.

They missed a tower, there.

That, (image with the boots) for all intents and purposes, represents pulverized. So much more than a collapse if you do not know now, you will never know.

"For all intends and purposes" ? Was it pulverised OR NOT ?

You are basically trying to say that the steel core columns on one side of the building were cut by high explosives. The problem is that cutting half of the 47 columns would require a much larger blast than what we see. The interior box columns can be cut within the blast seen

There is no "blast" seen, Chris. You're using a still image to make it SEEM like there is, but on no video is there such an explosion.

I know that no feasible, realistic explanation for near free fall and total pulverization has been put forth except for mine, found here.

Your said yourself that free fall was a minor issue, and that the concrete wasn't pulverised, per se. You also said that the "concrete" in your "core stands" picture could be dust.

I think you no longer have a case, not even to you.

17th November 2006, 04:57 AM

Christophera said,
That, (image with the boots) for all intents and purposes, represents pulverized. So much more than a collapse if you do not know now, you will never know.

So now by 'total pulverization' and 'sand and gravel' we mean 'large chunks remained behind'.

So 'near free fall' means under two minutes, and 'total pulverization' means large chunks remained, while 'sand and gravel' apparently is comprised of fist-sized or larger rocks.

No wonder it hurts when the kids throw sand!

But all joking aside, with this latest admission, the answer to his question is obvious: that the official explanation perfectly well explains 'near free fall' and 'total pulverization', since both terms have been completely redefined by Christophera. Why, any building in the world that has ever collapsed has fallen at 'near free fall' and resulted in 'total pulverization', so why should we expect any other difference?

ETA:

Let's sum up:

To sum up:

--C doesn't know how long it took the towers to collapse, but intuition tells him that anything shorter than 2 minutes is too fast.

--C doesn't know how much weight the upper floors represent, but intuition tells him that it wasn't sufficient to create the damage seen.

--C claims that 'total pulverization' leading to 'sand and gravel' means that large, fist-sized or larger pieces remain behind.

Anyone else seeing some major intelligence problems revealing themselves here?

it is so far established:-

that there was no "free-fall of the towers". christophera has no real idea at all of rate of fall of the towers.

that there was "no pulverisation of the towers" as large chunks of concrete and other parts of the structures remained.

christophera does not know the weight of the upper floors of the towers but still insists, whatever the weight was, it wasn't enough to cause the collapse.

is that the "sock score" so far? three questions answered? if i've missed any please feel free to ammend
it may not seem like much of an advance. i know its taken over 6 months but to me it's real progress to have pinned christophera down in this fashion in only a few days.

Hey, bonavada, I feel like such a n00b,but what's all this about passing socks?

At first, I thought it was something to do with sock puppets, but the context has thrown that out.

If I understand correctly, a system has been set up on this thread, whereby whomever has the "socks" smiley has the question that is to be resolved. No tangents, other questions, red herrings, etc will be addressed until the person who has the socks (peace pipe, feather, etc) is satisfied.

That's about the size of it. We're all welcome to pitch in - re-asking the question, asking for clarifications on the question - but whoever has the sock, has the question. And that's the question we all focus in on.

Frankly, after disproving both 'free fall' and 'total pulverization', I don't know that there's much left to discuss in this thread.

Reminder - the OP of this thread was...

Has Anyone Seen A Realistice Explanation For Free Fall Of The Towers?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maxim:
If a suppossed explantion does not explain the event, it is not the truth. No explanation that does not explain the event can be the truth.

So far no explanation in existence explains free fall and total pulverization of the towers appears to exist. Has anyone seen one?

Since free fall and total pulverization of the towers has been proven - even admitted by Chris - to be false, it would seem there's no reason for this thread to exist; however, I would like to see this type of intensly focused session continue with other claims made by Chris.

perhaps i proved my "noobery" by not explaining like AW above. sorry.
the socks are a version of the conch shell in "lord of the flies". in case you're unfamiliar with the story it was that whoever held the conch was allowed to speak. it was a device to impose a little order in the anarchy. something this thread desperately needed. i guess someone picked the socks coz there was no conch image/smiley available :-]
anyway i think the socks are "on the floor" now. if someone picks em up they can ask a question of christophera relating to his theory and he will be held to that until he answers satisfactorily. we are hoping by this method to pin chris down and prevent his endemic evasion.

You are basically trying to say that the steel core columns on one side of the building were cut by high explosives (http://mouv4x8.club.fr/11Sept01/A0069b_3_towerexplo1_explosion_below.jpg). The problem is that cutting half of the 47 columns would require a much larger blast than what we see. The interior box columns can be cut within the blast seen

Again you show your capacity to misinterpret and get wrong just about everything you percieve.

I was addressing your statement that the top section should have "toppled" over due to the impact of the airplanes. I was trying to illustrate that could not happen to building of that size and architecture from that kind of impact.

Your statement here also shows how narrow and limited your thinking is. You seem to think that only explosives can damage the steel columns. A few of the core columns were severly damaged or broken apart in the initial imact of the plane. That's why the upper section of the building remained standing after the plane impacts.

The structural integrity of the remaing coulmns in that side of the building were reduced by half the heat from the raging fires fed by jet fuel and other flammable materials.

The coulmns were stressed and deformed by the wieght of the upper section of the building and by the steel in the floor section expanding due to the heat. (remember metal expands when heated)

The deformations are well documented and evidenced by photographs and video of the outer wall sections bowing out right before the collapse.

The impact and heat damaged columns finaly gave away in that section of the core and the upper section shifted downward (in the case of WTC2 rotated downward into the lower floors) due to gravity. That shifting of mass introduced momnetum and kinetic energy into the upper sections of the building. That is something the lower floors and support structures were NOT designed to take. And the rest is etched into history.

and if one 40 foot section of the concrete core was detonated with it the top of the tower would tilt as your diagram shows, except no part would be rotating upwards. Which means that under any circumstances the uppersection would fall straight down into the lower section rather than "topple over" to one side. So I guess we can throw out that "toppleing over" scenario you suggested.

Then, your diagrams completely ignore what happned to the very top of WTC 2 where it fall the opposite direction as the middle part of the tower and lands on top of WTC 3. In [url=http://algoxy.com/psych/images/wtc2coreonto3.gif]this image (http://algoxy.com/psych/9-11scenario.html#anchor1233383[/url)
well since you like diagrams, take a look at this.

Mr. Brown,
You claim that the towers fell in the wrong order. How can you say so when the second jet impacted WTC2 faster (and therefore harder) than the first jet hit WTC1, and did so at a point lower on the building in comparison to the first?

well aimed RK.

also the second tower was impacted by the jet at a different trajectory to the first.

let's have some direct answers to this question chris.

17th November 2006, 09:11 AM

And a quick refresher: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:World_Trade_Center_9-11_Att.png

- Both planes were identical models
- WTC1 was struck at 490 mph
- There were 11 undamaged stories above WTC1's impact zone
- WTC2 was struck at 590 mph
- There were 25 undamaged stories above WTC2's impact zone

In short, the second tower was hit significantly harder, significantly lower, and fell after a shorter elapsed time, yet Mr. Brown insists it should've fallen second. Seems to me our friend is avoiding applying his vaunted "common sense."

No, Chris is applying his own brand of "common sense". First building hit should have been the first building to fall. But since the "wrong building" fell first means the pilots got the order wrong. So you figure the guy with the finger on the switch to the detonators could have corrected the sequence.

Ah, yes... high school. Isn't that where you pulled the gun on your teacher, then walked out, never completing a basic education?

But I digress...

No, you lie and distort and you know it. It is an ad hominum attack based on information I divulged to communicate my position with regard to our system of education and law.

It was junior high school and I simply told a teacher off. She had been psychologically abusing me for 3 months in front of the entire class. She finally ran out of things to say so I started talking about her, her motives, that she was abusing me, all of us and that she should retire and make room for a younger teacher that was serious about teaching us from a positon of respect for us.

There was not even any yelling, I was nice.

I was suspended for 3 days then permanantly expelled from the Santa Barbara high school system, not for what I said, but the fact that THE CLASS LISTENED and respected me.

So now it's not just "not quite the right speed of fall" but "not quite the right sort of debris".

Christophera, for those of us who do not possess your instant grasp of physical matters, can you say how large the concrete chunks should be after hitting the ground? Despite all your claims of common sense, I can't see anything wrong there.

Can you attach pictures of a similar collapsed skyscraper to demonstrate the anomaly in the debris dimensions?

i watched "screw loose change" last night. it was very long...but it convinced me of what i have known for a long time. the 19 hijackers were most likely the ones who flew the planes. the wtc collapsed due to structural damage and weakened steel. the pentagon was hit by a plane....as was the field in PA. i dont know what convinced me most...maybe its the fact that no structural engineers believe the conspiracy thoery. maybe the whole b.s. about cell phone calls at 30,000 feet when even LC calls them "airphone calls". maybe its the mention of the fbi flyers with a crosshair on the wtc...to suggest a future attack on the wtc was planned.

its just all silly to me now. and intensally paranoid. CTists talk about the neo-cons and the media spreading fear to control the masses...well what do you call all the claims about a zionist/illuminati/freemason/pnac/cfr/cia/federal reserve plot for world domination? i personally feel the fear spread by alex jones is 100% worse then what bush does (the neo-cons and bush also spread b.s.).

most importantly....whether i agree with them or not...muslems do have a motive for attacking us. we have been messing with their nations and politics for so long..is it that hard to believe they would hit back? CTists seem to think that either radical muslems really dont hate us, dont even exist, or dont have the means to hijack an airplane (been done hundreds of times). the arabs invented algebra, i think they can take over a plane and pilot it into the three largest buildings in the usa.

Plane hit the towers and there were fires but that had nothing to do with the towers coming down.

If you think they did then find one image of the steel core columns that were supposedly in the center of the towers, but first, try reading the last 190 pages and you will find that not one image of those core columns from the demolition at some elevation above ground has ever been posted.

That is because FEMA lied and the towers had a steel reinforced cast concrete core.

If you think they did then find one image of the steel core columns that were supposedly in the center of the towers, but first, try reading the last 190 pages and you will find that not one image of those core columns from the demolition at some elevation above ground has ever been posted.

That is because FEMA lied and the towers had a steel reinforced cast concrete core.

And it was built with high explosives centered and distributed throughout and encapsulated in concrerte to protect it for 33 years so detonators could be planted to initiate the demolition of 9-11 (http://algoxy.com/psych/9-11scenario.html)

Your explanation for why the wrong tower fell first is about as bad as your explanation for why they both fell the wrong way. Actually you never did explain why WTC 2 fell the wrong way and never did explain why the body fo WTC 2 went east while the top went west.

Basically you and your bsufucating group are trying to cover your evasion with repetitive questioning,

Explain why the top of WTC 2 went west and the body went east. BTW, the concrete core is easily seen inside the perimeter columns just before connecting with WTC 3.

That's not the answer to the question, Monk. Please explain:

Mr. Brown:

You claim that the World Trade Center towers fell in the wrong order. How can you say this when the second jet impacted WTC2 faster (and therefore harder) than the first jet hit WTC1, and did so at a point lower on the building in comparison to the first?

And a quick refresher: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:W...r_9-11_Att.png

- Both planes were identical models
- WTC1 was struck at 490 mph
- There were 11 undamaged stories above WTC1's impact zone
- WTC2 was struck at 590 mph
- There were 25 undamaged stories above WTC2's impact zone

In short, the second tower was hit significantly harder, significantly lower, and fell after a shorter elapsed time, yet you, Mr. Brown, insist it should've fallen second. How can this be?

I love this. Supposedly the number one indicator of evil conspiracy is that the towers fell at free-fall accelerations, i.e. as fast as possible.

Now the claim is that they fell out of sequence - implying that one fell faster than the other!

Perhaps the complex chain of demolition explosives didn't work in WTC1, Christophera, meaning that it fell at the "proper rate", whatever that is?

You can't have it both ways: The buildings both fell as fast as is physically possible / one building fell faster than the other. What the...?

Are you man enough to admit that these two statements are mutually exclusive?

Where were you when the firefighters were mystified because they could find no remains, when the largest piece of anything found which was recognizable to a firefighter was 1/2 of a phone key pad out of all 100's of the desks, chairs, file cabinets and computers in the towers?

Do you suppose that whole bodies were over looked by grief striken rescue personel? Do you suppose families stood by while intact remains were hauled off in trucks to be buried in land fills. Do you suppose they created a masive stink about their loved ones being buried in a dump because the hundreds of searchers just missed the bodies in all their searches?

Deny for as long as you can stand it.

All the evidence is against you on this one. I've posted the links that show it is common knowledge that the towers were pulverized and I've authored a page that explains it.

http://algoxy.com/psych/9-11scenario.html

I saw bodies and large pieces of concrete.

But no concrete core, you have made that up and are telling lies now and you are disrespecting the heroes of 9/11 by making up lies. Bad idea.

As for your question of this thread, you have wasted tons of post because the only answer is:

You still are a disrespectful concrete core liar.

You have been waiting for a long time and the answer is;

NO, the buildings did fall; but there was not total pulverization.

Wait..you claim that the weight of the upper floors was insufficient to create the damage seen, yet you have no idea what the weight of those floors are?

And your second sentence is an absolute fabrication. Structural engineers do not come up with their numbers through intuition. They get them through experience and careful calculation.

To sum up:

--C doesn't know how long it took the towers to collapse, but intuition tells him that anything shorter than 2 minutes is too fast.

--C doesn't know how much weight the upper floors represent, but intuition tells him that it wasn't sufficient to create the damage seen.

Are you tying to assert that you know what kind of structure stood and therefore know how long it should have taken to fall?

If that is the case you will post an image of some of the 47 1,300 foot core columns at an elevation over the ground from the demo images. If you cannot do this, well, you just don't know what you are talking about.

No, you lie and distort and you know it. It is an ad hominum attack based on information I divulged to communicate my position with regard to our system of education and law.

It was junior high school and I simply told a teacher off. She had been psychologically abusing me for 3 months in front of the entire class. She finally ran out of things to say so I started talking about her, her motives, that she was abusing me, all of us and that she should retire and make room for a younger teacher that was serious about teaching us from a positon of respect for us.

There was not even any yelling, I was nice.

I was suspended for 3 days then permanantly expelled from the Santa Barbara high school system, not for what I said, but the fact that THE CLASS LISTENED and respected me.
I apologize - I may have been wrong about the gun.

However - you would not have been permanently expelled from high school for talking calmly in junior high.

Sorry, but NIST has explained it fully in their report, and by your posting here, its evident that you never read it.

Near free fall means the buildingds would have to have fallen completely within hundreths of seconds of 9.1 seconds. The fact taht the NIST state that it could have taken 10 , 12 or as much as 25 seconds proves that it wasn't "near free fall"

The only part you got right is that I've never read it.

Your grasp of proportions is pitiful, for both strength and relative times for structures of a given strength to fail. Actually it's worse than that, you haven't a clue as to the difference between an explosion and a collapse.

Flight 176 hit the south east corner of WTC 2. The body of the tower fell East and the top fell west. (http://algoxy.com/psych/images/wtc2coreonto3.gif) . The brown/gray concrete core can be seen inside the perimeter walls.

Not only did the towers fall in the wrong order the tops fell impossibly in the wrong directions and clearly, if the top 10 floors of the tower is falling west, impacts and fires 20 floors lower and on the perpindicuarly opposite side of the building had nothing to do with the demise of these super strong structures.

I think you might mean half and one third the rate of free fall. Anyway, how is that still "too fast?" What criteria are you using to judge what's too fast?
This statement astounds me. The wrong appearance for a collapse? It collapsed. Theories aside, it did collapse.
Even Judy Wood disagrees with you. Her analysis shows that the collapse couldn't have taken longer than 96.7 seconds.

How could Judy Wood correctly calculate the proper collapse time if she did not know the true design and strcuture that stood?

The towers had a steel reinforced cast concrete core (http://amanzafar.no-ip.com/WTC/wtc41.JPG) and no other core can be substantiated from raw evidence. If nothing else, this 194 page thread has PROVEN that.

The collapse of a steel reinforced concrete core to the ground, in order to happen in 3 times free fall would have to be a toppling or series of toppling elements which would leave HUGE chunks of concrete.

This, is not a collapse, it is a high speed series of explosions contained within a uniform mineral material.

that there was "no pulverisation of the towers" as large chunks of concrete and other parts of the structures remained.

christophera does not know the weight of the upper floors of the towers but still insists, whatever the weight was, it wasn't enough to cause the collapse.

Or, put another way, ChristopherA's words mean exactly what he wants the to mean. Nothing more, nothing less.

By "free fall", he means "near free fall", and by "near free fall" he means "too fast", and by "too fast" he means less than "less than two minutes".

By "total pulverization" he means "rubble"

By "wrong order" he means either order.

So, the towers collapsed, first one then the other, in less than two minutes each into a pile of rubble -- proof positive of a conspiracy.

And such words as you have written are proven all subterfuge when you cannot produce raw evidence from the demolition images at some elevation above ground of the supposed 47, steel core columns that the entities you rely on for evidence use to analyse the event of 9-11 at the WTC.

The towers had massive steel reinforced rectangular, tubular cast concrete cores (tiny rubble constitutes for all intents and purposes, pulverized) which is fully substantiated with many forms of evidence both raw and that of testimony of web pages and reports by Ph.d engineers. Here.

I was addressing your statement that the top section should have "toppled" over due to the impact of the airplanes. I was trying to illustrate that could not happen to building of that size and architecture from that kind of impact.

Seems to me you illustrated the opposite and ignored the fact that almost half of the columns on the left side of (1.) (WTC1) were severed by the plane impact. On WTC 2 the damage was on the south east corner not the east face.

Your statement here also shows how narrow and limited your thinking is. You seem to think that only explosives can damage the steel columns. A few of the core columns were severly damaged or broken apart in the initial imact of the plane. That's why the upper section of the building remained standing after the plane impacts.

You cannot even prove with raw evidence the core columns existed let alone that they were damaged. The concrete core (http://amanzafar.no-ip.com/WTC/wtc41.JPG) is well evidenced.

The structural integrity of the remaing coulmns in that side of the building were reduced by half the heat from the raging fires fed by jet fuel and other flammable materials.

Your use of the term "raging" is a cognitive distortion.

6. Magnification and Minimization - Exaggerating negatives and understating positives. Often the positive characteristics of other people are exaggerated and negatives understated. There is one subtype of magnification:

The coulmns were stressed and deformed by the wieght of the upper section of the building and by the steel in the floor section expanding due to the heat. (remember metal expands when heated)

The deformations are well documented and evidenced by photographs and video of the outer wall sections bowing out right before the collapse.

The photos show the aluminum facade loosening.

The impact and heat damaged columns finaly gave away in that section of the core and the upper section shifted downward (in the case of WTC2 rotated downward

This rotation occurred on the east face when the plane only impacted the south east corner.

into the lower floors) due to gravity. That shifting of mass introduced momnetum and kinetic energy into the upper sections of the building. That is something the lower floors and support structures were NOT designed to take. And the rest is etched into history.

homer you are distorting again.

1. All-or-nothing thinking - Thinking of things in absolute terms, like "always", "every" or "never". Few aspects of human behavior are so absolute. (See false dilemma.)

2. Overgeneralization - Taking isolated cases and using them to make wide generalizations. (See hasty generalization.)

Which means that under any circumstances the uppersection would fall straight down into the lower section rather than "topple over" to one side. So I guess we can throw out that "toppleing over" scenario you suggested. well since you like diagrams, take a look at this.

Correct, there was no toppling because of the detonations of high explosives.

You are completely ignoring the concrete core inside the perimeter columns and the concrete roof can be seen falling to the west intact on WTC 3 (http://algoxy.com/psych/images/wtc2coreonto3.gif)
