Spontaeous Building Implosion
-
So in the US NIST has finally released its report on why World Trade Center building 7 collapsed into its own footprint in around 7 seconds on the afternoon of Sept 11 2001. Thermal expansion hey, who would have thunk it. Frankly who would believe it? :suss:

But how can thermal EXPANSION be responsible when it clearly COLLAPSED? :suss: :rolleyes:

No one, including any of the engineers at US NIST. The report recently issued makes it clear that fires, ignited by the flaming debris from the Twin Towers, caused thermal expansion of steel beams. When the beams expanded, they pushed supportive beams and damaged flooring surrounding columns. Finally one beam buckled triggering the pancaked collapse.

Shh - you aren't supposed to actually read the report, just jump to wild conclusions.

Yes, why bother with the mundane (and believable) explanation when the conspiracy theory is so much more fun!

Which did not occur. Ruled out by the fact that pancaking would simply have been too slow to match the observed collapse time and could not have occured symetrically in an asymetrically reinforced building with asymetrical fires. Even without the unexplained molten metal and eye witness testimonies of multiple eplosions and a demolition countdown this would be a pathetically inadequate explanation. Albeit that they had next to no physical evidence to go on as the crime scene was cleared without forensic examination.

Well clearly there are still some 1 voting dupes out there very keen to rewrite the laws of physics in the interest of believing what their governers tell them. Well it's OK you've done you unpatriotic duty now and can go back to watching daytime TV. :zzz: :rolleyes:

I dunno, 9.8 m/s^2 with momentum seems to go a long way towards explaining the collapse time. A lot more plausible than to assume the government orchestrated the hijackings in tandem with wired explosives for the purpose of... knocking over Afghanistan?

You might have noticed that things fall with that accelaration in a vacuum, they tend to fall a teenie bit more slowly through concrete and steel. By the way I'm not assuming anything, merely commenting that this ridiculous report is such a blatant white-wash that it adds fuel to the conspiracy fires rather than putting them out with a genuine honest investigation which addresses the evidence and explain it without resorting to hand waving, magic, unexplained phenomena and new physics.

I don't think an occassional vitamin supplement is going to make your state of denial any less obvious. That would take something a good deal stronger. :laugh:

Of course. This is a site for software developers after all, where many believe you aren't supposed to actually read the documentation. :laugh:

Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

Where did they resort to that? Give specific examples citing the page number of the report and the exact mistake that these engineers made, if you please. Otherwise I'll just have to write you off as one more crank with no knowledge of physics who hasn't even bothered to read the report. Bah, who am I kidding. I've already written you off, but feel free to prove me wrong.

I'll buy it. Not because i have any particular knowledge of the subject (i don't), or because i have a good amount of faith in my Gov't (ditto)... I'll believe it because frankly there are more important things to worry about.
