Has Anyone Seen A Realistice Explanation For Free Fall Of The Towers?
Maxim:
If a suppossed explantion does not explain the event, it is not the truth. No explanation that does not explain the event can be the truth. So far no explanation in existence explains free fall and total pulverization of the towers appears to exist. Has anyone seen one? |

The best explanation I've heard is that it WASN'T FREE FALL!
The acceleration rate was only maybe 2/3 of that for a free fall. There is another maxim that says: You don't need an explanation for something that didn't happen. |

Has anyone seen an explanation for why so many CTs, in 2006, continue to claim that the towers fell at free fall?

It was damned heavy.

Total pulverization of his arguments may follow.
Do the CT arguments fall at free-fall or close to free-fall? |

Like others have said, it didn't fall at free fall.
And as the engineers have said about the collapse, it was due to something called pancaking, which i'm not going to get into since its easily looked up and the engineers can explain it much better then me. Once its explained well, it sounds VERY reasonable. |

Christophera, have you read any of the NIST reports? Please be specific when describing what issues you have w/ them - give a publication and page number so we can check your work.
Thanks! |

[quote=Christophera;1662449]The engineers believe FEMAs description of the structure and I know it was different so what the engineers have defined is in error./QUOTE]
How do you know it was different? |

No. I am aware from other sources exactly how the towers were designed and NIST is a waste of time. They do not explain free fall. They do not explain free fall to the ground of the entire structure. They do not explain how this happened twice and why the impact/fall sequence is backwards/ The wrong tower fell first if itwas a collapse.
They don't explain why the tops of the towers fell the wrong directions according top the sides damaged. |

From the quality and structure of your writing, you are clearly not very intelligent, so I'm surprised that you consider yourself capable of critically examining and appraising the available evidence, let alone drawing the conclusions that you have.
Or did you watch the Loose Change DVD and get all your opinions from that? Hmm? |

I am SUPPORTING you. Don't twist facts around.
These "skeptics" debate endlessly about things like whether the Holocaust even HAPPENED. They are fools.... a preponderance of evidence shows that IT DID. Yet they will continue to assert - like the truth about 9-11 - that history is in error. |

So you have no actual training in construction technology, structural engineering, etc?
Well, that certainly qualifies you as an expert in why the WTC buildings collapsed on that day... Funny how no actual experts have problems w/ the NIST reports. Oh yeah, they were all paid off. |

Well, considering the "qualified analysts" have failed to explain the exceedingly fast fall rates, the credibility of what our society refers to as "qualified" is VERY much in question.
I've enjoyed providing you with a common sense analysis of what "qualifications" have become. |

I've linked the site that has all of the NIST publications to date. Those publications contain numerous detailed analysis by qualified structural engineers - experts in high-rise building construction. Lots of analysis of pictures taken from the moment the planes struck to the moment of collapse.
You seem uninterested in perusing that enormous wealth of data. Therefore, my confusion is genuine. |
