Read a graph? I read their paper, there is no graph. There is a table, the same one that can be found at the LDEO website. Are you suggesting the LDEO data is wrong? On the other hand, I never would have suspected that waves from a plane impact would have a greater duration than the actual collapse.I wrote a more succinct overview of the Ross / Furlong whitepaper in this post. Anyone who can read a graph can follow along and recreate their mistake -- even getting the same numbers -- in seconds.
I don't believe I'm exaggerating when I say that Swing Dangler has chosen to hide behind the stupidest, most embarrassing, and most thoroughly debunked bit of nonsense ever to come from the entire Truth Movement. They're not even trying anymore.
Hiding behind? That paper is neither theory nor hypothesis, but a statement of
publicized facts regarding the timing of the aircraft impacts.
Your long quote reposted below you:
1. Focus on the 9/11 Commission time and avoid the discrepancies by LDEO, NIST, FEMA, FAA, NTSB, and TV, as well as the Commission. The authors didn't avoid that at all as you claim. You of course avoid and in no way include the other various times presented. Good work or should I say dodge.
2. You then based the difference on "error" or a bad clock.

Again with absolutely no factual data to support the statement. Try using the numbers presented by the Federal Agencies instead of your own illogical examination of their varying numbers. That is just turrible. There is no question regarding the precision and accuracy of the instruments used to record both data time sets, since their entire function depends and relies upon temporal accuracy, and therefore there can be no doubt that both data time sets are correct.The problem is the data sets have different impact times.
3. You bring up the actual collapse times and state that it isn't discussed in the paper. Well of course not! The paper was not about the time it took for the building to collapse but you allude to the fact that this discussion not found in the paper should have been. I do find it interesting that the duration of the impact signals was actually longer than the collapse signals according to LEDO's table. This is most interesting and most likely can be contributed to something else other than impact.
And the best statement of all...
It seems unlikely that Middle Eastern terrorists could have overcome the WTC security and managed this kind of high-level, technological coordination.
It also seems unlikely that anyone in the world could have coordinated such a thing, namely bombs synchronized with airliner impacts. Bombs, I might add, that served no obvious purpose whatsoever.
Can't manage that but they can manage to infiltrate the country and avoid the FBI, CIA, and the military, take years of planning, take over 4 airliners without issue, avoid the greatest air defense system in the world, and strike three out of the 4 targets. They can accomplish all of this but it seems unlikely anyone could plant some bombs in a building by overcoming security at the WTC. T
