There is a vast sea of ignorance about the strength of materials being shown here.
The reason for a tube structure for one.
Here is a simple 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of ordinary printer paper rolled into a tube,
with a small piece of tape holding the ends together. Placed on a digital scale.
The weight on the tube is incrementally increased, using quite heavy toy car batteries.
At 226 times the weight of the empty tube... 34 oz... the tube begins to exhibit buckling at the lower taped end.
With longitudinal stiffeners added, the basic paper tube can support much more weight than is shown here.
Airplane structures are designed for way higher loads than this, and can, as was seen in the WTC collisions, penetrate modern buildings.

You missed that by order of magnitude (which they don't understand)
Vast sea? I would say a couple of universes world of ignorance topped off with disrespect and the ability for rapid negative learning. We have to get some of what they are taking...

What is funny, it takes 11 minutes for 451 to do a post at 13 to 15 wpm.

It boils down to ignorance and political bias against the USA. He hates us for our education, knowledge, logic, critical thinking skills, etc.

When someone disagrees or laughs at his fantasy
Quote:

Careful, you are in danger of learning something.
He is JREF too, not sure he understand that, but why would he join up if he was not a skeptic. Guess he missed the part of evidence, logic, and knowledge. And since JREF has the BIG E, he is against Education, so don't tell him the what the E Is.

Can it get more silly? Missiles are next, part to of the 7 second first video self-debunking special. Over in 7 seconds, showing Flt 11 impact the WTC, debunks the rest of the video, and makes Video 2 a waste.
When you are anti-education, logic does not miss the cut.

I Ratant didn’t mention anything about being a know it all, and I am certainly not a know it all either. However, I do know what you are thinking. You are thinking the same old nonsense that you have been thinking all along

31.5 but for brevity I round down to 30. Why?

Thank you.

How fast was the leading edge of the wing of the 767 travelling when it hit the tower?

Depends on whether your doing an accurate and honest calculation of the interaction between the radome, cockpit and forward cabin and the exterior steel box columns, but spare us the drama trauma and just give us the whole calculation all at once.

We dont have to explain the finer points of some bits of bent metal in the impact hole because:

1. Eye witness and video evidence clearly shows a plane hitting the building and exploding.


Thats it. You then start from there. Who was flying the plane.

How fast was the leading edge of the wing traveling when it hit the tower? (Be conservative--use sig fig. How fast do you, personally, calculate that the leading edge of the wing was travelling when it was observed to hit the tower?)

First tell me how much the radome, cockpit and forward cabin impact retarded the forward momentum of the whole plane. We all know a real jet's wings would snap off at that point but there it is on the TeeVee, the whole plane sliding like butter into the building, so be conservative, how much did the fuselage impact slow down the rest of the plane?

Allowing for whatever retardation you want to claim for the observed impact of the 767 with the building, how fast was the leading edge of the wing still travelling when it was observed to impact the building?

Good god, man. The wings would snap off? Don't you know anything about airplane construction? The wings are one single piece. They're not bolted onto the sides of the plane. They are the plane, especially in a commercial aircraft of that size. Wings can deform, they can be pulled apart by enough torque, but they do not "snap off".

Oh, well all the videos of the jet crashes where the wings snap off on impact must be wrong. Go figger.

Good, thought it missed you.
So why do you ignore the laws of physics in your work?

According to the NIST this is what happened:

But according to the swept-back construction of the wings, they would have struck in a wedge-motion (not at right angles). So the NIST is clearly wrong.

Furthermore, they didn't consider the construction of the columns which the wing would impact one column edge at a time, sequentially from the fuselage-out:

Considering the steel slicing nature of wings:

It's obvious to a barnyard animal a southbound jet would not cause westward bends:

How fast was the leading edge of the wing of the 767 travelling when it was observed to impact the tower?
