I think it's more important that he thinks it would act like a wedge.

ETA: Do you think he'd understand when we told him the wing would need to be significantly stronger(order of magnitude) than the building to do this?

I'm assuming you don't know as you can't even specify which tower, can you be more specific?

Again, had you watched the video or even read the transcript you wouldn't make such silly statements.

I WAS describing a heavily reinforced jet.

It isn't a difficult question, but it does probe your hope that everyone is as physics-averse as you are.

How fast was the leading edge of the wing of the 767 in your video moving when it was observed to impact the tower it was observed to impact?

A "heavily-reinforced jet" for which there is not the first scintilla of evidence of the merest hint of a suggestion of its existence...

How fast was the "heavily-reinforced jet" that you claim was the 767 that was observed to impact the tower, in your diagrams, moving when it was observed to impact the tower?

The reason the top edge of aluminum cladding was removed in such a straight line is because that was the top edge of the aluminum cladding. That's were you would expect it to separate.

The box columns bent more to the right, etc is (obviously) because that's were the mass of the aircraft was centered. The wings taper outward, doing progressively less damage and eventually folding back along the fuselage and being dragged into the building.

The WTC impact had about 66,000 pounds of fuel, 10,000 gallons. Most likely in the wings, 33,000 pounds in each wing, which would enter the WTC at 490 mph and 590 mph.

These truthers don't do physics, we should make it a beer if we quote them.

It is...interesting...that you claim that a bottom-surface impact with a non-compressible fluid, (which BTW, separatres the entire wing from the fuselage, as a unit), is "several videos" of the wings "snapping off".

Is it your claim that the belly of the 767 that was observed to impact the tower, nose first, was the contact surface for its observed nose-first impact?

My claim is that the damage evidence is inconsistent with a jet crash, you are simply clutching at any straw to avoid having to discuss how it is.

And the word I used was "all", it was you who used "several". Get your accusations straight. You said you'd appreciate my posting one, if not several examples. I did, but you didn't. Sue me.

No. I am trying to discuss it. You are avoiding a simple question.

I am interested in probing your claim. Your claim, your onus.

These truthers don't do physics, we should make it a beer if we quote them.
revised calculation

- 67,000 pounds of fuel (10k gal @ 6.7 lbs per gallon) which is approx 30,000 kg.

- 0.5 * mv^2 with m=33,000 kg of fuel and speed = 200m/s :=

600000000 joules in the wings alone. Excluding the chemical energy stored in the fuel.

So the wings moving at 200m/s loaded with fluid is hardly a empty aluminium box.

Also, wings travveling at that speed with that much energy are not going to break off and fall to the floor. They are going to go right through the towers, probably mostly through the windows. They are not going to fold back and break off.

Think NIST had some fuel summaries.

These two truther can't comprehend physics, and will not drop the fantasy.

Hi - it would appear that we're not going to get an answer.

Never fear, though - here are the calculations from the previous thread on the same topic: ("No Planer calls for Scientific Study")

Earlier on I tool the OP to task on the one-at-a-time depiction of the wing hitting the pylons comprising the side of the WTC and asked if he had any idea of how quickly that would have happened.

Anyhow, I did the math. The entire wing impacted the side of the WTC in 0.04 of a second. The hits on each pylon therefore occurred around 2/1000 of a second apart.

Assumptions:
Impact velocity 240 m/sec
Wing length perpendicular to fuselage: 20.6 metres
Wing rake: 31.5 degrees
Pylons hit by wing: 24

I'm not really sure what this proves other than it happens pretty quick.

Verily, even when the wing root they are attached to has disintegrated, they still maintain their velocity through steel.

There's that magic loogie again.

It is sad anyone falls for or makes up lies as silly as missiles or CD.

Real science takes time for some, yet some lay people understand things naturally.
http://web.mit.edu/civenv/wtc/
oops, science wasted on 911 truth pushers of woo.

Radar debunks the no plane fantasy.
http://www.ntsb.gov/doclib/foia/9_11...l_aircraft.pdf

Simple to understand, yet 911 truth can't do it.

Sad to see people who are anti-education.

Wow.

Its as if the truthers cant comprehend the amount of energy involved. It's like a poster said earlier- too many James Bond movies.

If 911 truth no plane believers could do physics, they could do this.
http://web.mit.edu/civenv/wtc/PDFfil...t%20Impact.pdf
But they are anti-science, anti-education, anti-reality.

The dumbest claims are nukes, missiles, CD, DEW, and thermite. All these are based on ignorance, and no logic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc-zmb3jAgo Physics, what no plane believer can't do.

In truther world mass goes away at impact, thus shot guns don't work, hollow point bullets don't kill, and ping pong balls don't rip through wooden paddles.

Probably more accurate to say the fuselage broke up than the wings snapped off. This wings still seems quite securely attached to part of the fuselage.

Okay, so about the gash...

There's that magic loogie again.
The side of the building wasnt a flat block of steel. It was mainly glass.
As has already been stated the amount of energy, just in the wings (the fuel) was enormous. Where do you think all that energy went?

You mean the gash caused by the impact of a plane or do you still insist it was caused by invisible missiles that don't exist?

Answers, these guys are in full blown fantasy-land. yankee451 says education is for fools.

And now, without evidence, the fantasy makers have to make up a lie and say radar data is fake. Without effort, a lie, it is fake. Lies and fantasy.

The problem with 911 truth no plane fantasy believers, they think the aircraft are soft. With alloys as strong as steel, they make up lies about impacts to keep their failed fantasy.

Oops, 911 truth fails, water crushes car.

Guess 911 truth no planers can't grasp 66,000 pounds of jet fuel at 500 mph will no stop at the WTC shell. So they make up lies.

Then they make up lies about paper, and they don't do physics.

And yet he shares the same cognitively dissonant (t's the new buzz phrase amongst CTs, have you noticed?) attitude of loathing academia and its processes and the qualifications it confers while at the same time desperately trying to find an academically qualified person who agrees with him.

Some truther make silly remarks about papers, think they have debunked science, and end up making fools of themselves.

http://web.mit.edu/civenv/wtc/PDFfil...t%20Impact.pdf

No plane missile fantasy pushers think silly comments debunk science. It takes physics to debunk physics, and 911 truth can't do the work. Never have, never will.

People blame the government for their failure, and make up wild fantasies of missiles.

http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/31114

http://www.wai.com/articles_pdf/webA...ensic_2003.pdf

The no plane fantasy is born in disrespect and deep seeded ignorance. They can't debunk reality, have to say everyone is a liar, video is a liar, radar is a liar, and they miss their no plane claim is a lie. They call science bogus which dovetails with their disdain of education.

LOL! Keep running from the physics yankee.

Edit: Oh wait! You'll try to ignore this too!

Excluding the chemical energy stored in the fuel.So the wings moving at 200m/s loaded with fluid is hardly a empty aluminium box.Also, wings travveling at that speed with that much energy are not going to break off and fall to the floor. They are going to go right through the towers, probably mostly through the windows. They are not going to fold back and break off.
(Psst!) This is where you run again.

Mr. Eager:

Thanks for this. In a socratic inquiry, it is often more important who provides an answer than what the answer provided is. I know the figures; you know the figures. The purpose of asking yankee451 the question is to get him to demonstrate how observed reality cannot be poured into his sci-fi fantasy scenario.

What was the velocity of the leading edge of the wing of the 767 that was observed to impact the tower, when it was observed to impact the tower?
