I think the Heiwa threads prove without any doubt why the Swedish Navy is such a huge maritime threat. Of course, this threat is only to the sailors that dare to go aboard one of Heiwa's vessels...

Heiwa, you did not include the mass of the top section of WTC 2 which was 110,000 tons, yet you state that your analysis applies to <b>both</b> towers. So, immediately, you have made a major error.

Please redo your calculations for WTC 2 and report back.

Please describe what YOU see when you look at these photos, Anders. I'm genuinely interested to know.

Re the first figure (No 8-44 South wall) I observe that all floor 94 wall columns are intact. At floor 95 - five columns at the left are close to fire. No deformations are seen there as expected. The aluminium wall cladding may be hot, but as we know, inside is some heat insulation, so I assume the steel columns there are not very hot ... and that any heat there in a column is spread up/down. It is very difficult to heat up a wall column protected by alu (outside) and gypsum plate (inside) cladding with heat insulation in between.

But if a few wall columns would reduce their strength due to heat, the adjacent ones carry the load. All other columns are intact. And, when the fire changes location, the previously affected columns cool down ... and regain their original strength (compression wise).

Re second figure (Five minutes before collapse) I do not see any deformed wall columns.

The two photos confirm my calculations and UK expertize. The heat due to fire will not affect the steel structure. Thank you for your assistance.

Who are you trying to convince here with your opinion? Yourself. Why don't you take it to Loose Change forum there's lot's of impressionable children there.

ETA I see you added insulation to the columns. Maybe there is hope for you.

Article is only about WTC 1. I can do the same for WTC2 and you will find that the compressive stresses in the columns are the same, even if the mass above there is bigger, etc.

Nist states that the two towers collapsed exactly for the same cause. I took WTC 1 as an example that the Nist cause is incorrect. Doesn't it suffice?

Also WTC1 is easier to analyse. The perpetrators got sloppy or tired. WTC2 had 'collapsed' as per plan but WTC1 was still standing and the fire was reducing. No way the columns in the initiation zone could fail. So they committed many mistakes as shown in my article.

Anyway - according to Nist and Bazant the wall at the initiation zone should fail at the same time as the roof starts to fall ... and that does not seem to be the case.

I am replying to 'bje'.

The heat insulation of the wall columns was always there. It has nothing to do with fire proofing, which is much thicker and obviously completely different.

So you say 'Blazeshield' is not for fire? You really need to read up on what you claim to be knowledgeable about.

I see some minor office fires at different floors above the impact where there originally was jet fuel and no deformations of any wall columns at all. No floors sagging. Etc.

The picture is very good! No concentrated fires anywhere but spread apart in different locations on different floors, mostly secondary small fires. Making a lot of smoke but cannot cause any risk to the structure. Evidently.

To be a real hazard, the fire must be concentrated - on one floor - attacking all the columns at the same time. Small fires here and there is no hazard. The redundancy of the structure takes care of that. Evidently.

Gravy, don't you understand that you do not understand ... and are fooled by nonsense? In cases like that I recommend a cold shower. But thank you for the picture showing me right.

You've already seen the photos with the vertical lines added that follow the columns, showing enormous inward bowing. One is an enlargement of the photo I just posted above, in which the roof CLEARLY has not started to fall, because it's five minutes before collapse. Present your evidence that the photos and videos are fake now, or retract your claim, Anders. You agree that's the correct way for rational people to behave, don't you? Or are you too ill to understand?

Why do no structural or fire protection engineers agree with you, Anders? What do you know that they don't? Present your expert studies and experiments that counter their decades of work, NOW, or retract your claims.

Fair enough, Anders? Then proceed with your evidence. No one cares about your arguments from incredulity.

You seem to be blissfully unaware that this wall was blasted by airliner and office debris. Here's one of the south wall panels, about 700 feet away. Do you think such impacts would have affected the spray-on and wallboard insulation, Anders?

Holy crap, that's an incredible amount of ignorance!

I'm glad you accept that photo as authentic. Do you see the pronounced inward bowing from about floors 95-98, around columns 316-321?

No, you make it clear that you are writing about both WTC 1 and WETC 2. Let me refresh your memory, Heiwa:

Quote:
This means that we can conclude the following:

Conclusions
The Twin Towers structure was very simple and its wall and core columns can be likened to steel bars in a bird cage full of air ... and humans. The compressive stress in the bird cage bars due to mass incl. floor loads is very small (<30% of yield stress). The Towers' structure was very strong!
Since the mass of the top section of WTC 2 was 110,000 tons, and not 33,000 tons, you must do recalculations. You may not exclude mass from any calculation.

Please do the recalculations for WTC 2 and get back to us with your corrections for that tower.

MM, is this what they teach you in Conspiracy Theory 101?
People will allow themselves, unwittingly or otherwise, to perform in any puppet show if they strongly believe in it's particular cause.

Some people see the hard choices ahead and choose to support the status quo and say "tough luck for those without the military might to challenge us."

The real patriots are those who refuse to be selfish puppets and view themselves as citizens of the whole world.

I was up those towers in july 2001, they were huge, quite beyond anything I have ever seen then or since, those fires are massive, probably the largest in manhattans history and this fellow european thinks its small office fires

It is not worth wasting time on someone like this

Perhaps it would be useful to list a few of the most glaring errors stated by Heiwa.

Obviously we have at number 1....

The towers were the same structural design as every other multistorey steel frame structure

Then we have.....

Fireproofing to steel is to prevent the fire from being transferred via the steel

In addition to this we have....

The fireproofing to the columns was actually thermal insulation to prevent heat loss/gain

And now we have ....

They were small office fires

Classy.

Are you sure this is the South wall? Compare figure 8-44 (also South wall at 9.19 hrs am) in previous message. They do not look the same. Fires are at different areas, which is good. The fires moved around and were short lived = not lot of influence on structure. Look eg at floor 95/column 351 left side.

OK - the latest NYPD picture at 10.22 hrs - one hour later - is 'digitally enhanced',etc. I doubt very much that 'inward bowing' at floor 98/column 321 is 39 inch = 1 meter!!

Doubt? No, the 'inward bowing' figures are absolute nonsense.

The person - NYPD? - doing this fakery knows nothing about steel structures + bolted floors of a wall opposite the real damage (by the plane).

Plenty of false info - copyright of course + All rights reserved - floating around.

Hallo MM. Thanks - it is quite obvious actually how the puppets obstruct this forum. Re their masters I am not too worried. With such puppets!

"Imminent failure" expectation is nothing but speculation, and is often applied to the bowing column observation as a means of bolstering the Official Conspiracy Theory collapse hypothesis.

There were no boats.

MM
All the towers had lifeboats in case of a tidal storm surge. They were build by the Port Authority after all.

So why waste your time? I have also been up in the Towers - American Bureau of Shipping's office on 94th floor (WTC2 ?) - just normal office furniture, etc. Not much that could burn.

Sorry - no massive fires. I agree with NYFD - they could easily have handled the fires. But something happened ... It concerns me.

Yeah the limited resources of the JREF. Why you know Randi can even afford to give away a million dollars on a whim.

Well there is the NWO kitty see him and know fear.

Neither your response or mine was that specific.

You puppets are just so quick with the "liar, liar pants on fire!"

Who's yanking your strings?

I haven't heard that cry since the third grade.

Yeah and when you go to the bathroom there's nothing but the smell of roses in the air.

How can a puppet be selfish or have any emotions?

Your whole comment is false info.

"I doubt" is your whole statement and your whole argument.

Figures can't lie but liars can figure.

Please do the recalculations for WTC 2 and get back to us with your corrections for that tower.
Not necessary - the relevant columns of WTC2 were much stronger as they were further down in the building but naturally with the same stresses as explained in my article.

Also the damages were much less at WTC2 - and the fires much smaller - so the perpetrators had to finish that job quickly.

Unfortunately WTC2 is less well documented by media, because nobody expected the tower to suddenly ... explode. But WTC1 - is a different story. That's why I concentrate on it in my story for children ... and other interested parties. Keep it simple - then people will understand.

You really didnt need to confirm your delusional stance to me

It is not the NYFD, and you are lying about what you think they could have done. Your pathetic claims of fakery have you stuck on as a troll and no better than any of the loose change teenager morons

I can handle the delusional stuff but not dishonesty. If you look at those pictures and do not see huge fires then you are not a well person.
