This is what the experts on explosive demolition who actually had access to the site and multiple seismic readings have to say about theories of explosive demolition.

SO WHY did the fall of the buildings not slow down even one bit when the building fell through the reinforced floors?




I'm sure they did.

When you're driving down the highway in your car and you hit a grasshopper, the impact slows your car slightly.  Can you feel it or see it?  Probably not.  

I think the best case against a 911 conspiracy is the fact that it would involve a hell of a lot of people and they'd all have to be keeping the whole thing a secret.  Seems unlikely.


But hey, if it keeps guys like Jeff Rense in business...

the WTC towers had an exterior shell which was built as you mentioned with an exterior shell.

the building was externally stiffened to stop it from oscillating side-to-side.

this makes perfect sense! all of the load-bearing is carried by the central coloumn which is



had you a clue or even done some cursory research, you would know the WTC towers' shell were in fact a critical part of the load bearing structure. you know, when i visited the towers as a kid back in the early 80s, you learned that on the tour.

why is it that when we watch the videos of the towers falling they fall floor-by-floor with the central part full of HUGE steel beams and the flimsy reinforcing shell falling at the same time..?


TV is a COMMERCIAL medium...

turn off your TV and use your head.




Max says: Watch the video evidence!
Max says:  But wait, don't watch TV because it can't be trusted!

Everybody says: WTF. Where do you think all those Youtube videos came from? How can you trust the very medium you mistrust for the entire basis of your evidence? So turn off your TV and watch Youtube videos instead? Nice, consistent logic as always dood.

I could say the same about you jimmyjazz, couldn't I..


Doubtful, given that I hold a masters degree in mechanical engineering from a top 10 American engineering school, not to mention the title Principal Engineer for the company where I've spent the past 14+ years of my life.  My main areas of expertise are mechanics of materials, acoustics/vibrations, rotating machinery, and structural analysis.

But enough about me.  The story in question centers on a renowned structural engineer's analysis.  Certainly you don't consider yourself qualified to refute his work, do you?  (My father, who was a Structural Engineering professor for 40 years as well as chairman of the Steel Joist Institute says the guy is right on, by the way, but again, that holds no sway with you, does it?)

Yeesh.  Rein it in a bit, will ya?

Have you read the report which answers these very questions?

Ah, Max...

Whatever would we do without you!

Watch this if you would...

Then -if you still don't get it- may I suggest selling ice cream for a living?

I love how the big chunk of tower which was falling to the side in that video disintegrated by itself as it was falling..

too much.

this whole discussion is a good lesson for ME..

I suggest you learn some metalurgy.

Oh shit! sorry! Learning anything is against your religion.

"Softened" is perhaps not the best term... how about "weakened"? Will you accept (since it is a basically recognized fact in metalurgy) that the temperatures the fires are generally acknowledged to have reach would weaken the steel?

Oh, and how about expansion? Would you accept that those same temperatures would result in notable expansion of the steel beams?

Good.

So Max, you think that structural engineering -like audio engineering- is something that should NOT be done by professionals?

(-Not an unreasonable conclusion based on your posts in this and other threads...)

Oh, and yes. I weld. I weld enough to understand at least SOMETHING about how localised heat deforms panels and structures, and which way they would likely move.

C'mon Max... I've given you the two factors you need to answer a question that you asked (about the "45

Damn you John... -stop giving him clues!!! (I think we were typing replies at the same time...)

-If he can't LEARN anything from people who know something, at least he might think for himself! Wink

By itself?

Ok, now I now you're not particularly observant, but if you look REALLY closely, you'll see a load of dust being generated at the point of collapse.... that's because the moving bit is constantly colliding with a non moving bit.

Actually if your theory that the structure was broken by explosive charges before the collapse reached it was correct, then this would make the disintegration of that top section LESS likely.

You really don't think this stuff through AT ALL, do you?

No offense intended here, but that doesn't really mean much, does it? Goergie Bush the Lesser graduated from Yale with a degree, and has held the title CEO of a number of companies. So its not a good reference. What people actually do is what counts. I can't tell you how many well-educated EE's I've met who have contributed little to audio except attitude and degree spouting, as well as some brilliant self-taught folks who build real usable stuff.

Technically speaking, my brother is a rocket scientist. He now says his college years were a waste except that he can brag that he is one, given that he's never spent a day doing anything with it. Our father never got past 8th grade in a village in eastern Hungary, but he built analog computers in our basement in the 60's.

Your "qualifiers" may make you an expert, but they don't make you informed or correct.

I'll accept the statements of a mechanical engineering Master's degree holder long before that of a legacy Yale C-student undergrad (you get a C just for showing up for the final.)  

Most people who get graduate degrees actually do know something about their subject.

In the case of most mechanical or structural engineers, "failure is not an option".

In the case of the Texas hatrack, failure -it would seem- is not a problem.
