I don't believe you. You haven't demonstrated any competency in physics in this thread. You haven't worked through the math which is staring you in the face saying you are wrong and just dismiss it because it doesn't agree with you. That isn't college educated. That is internet research educated, which is lol worthy. Looking at your grammar, you haven't even demonstrated a high school level of knowledge actually.
i dont doubt the equations will come out correct in the answer, what u dont seem to grasp is he is GUESSING at the variables.
Yes he is, but he is being conservative on the values. Using numbers that are less than what they really are. Then he explains at the end of his post that a REAL calculation to determine the time it took the towers to fall would take WEEKS of advanced computer simulations to get right. A 1 minute youtube video isn't going to sum that up.
this doesnt even stand as proof of anything, just makes me more embarassed for you.
Says the guy with his foot in his mouth.

And another thing...why don't they target policy makers, LEO, and officials here?
I realise there are more of the public to choose from, but in the final analysis people at a fruit and veg market, or browsing a shopping centre are hardly going to get the decision makers to change policy is it.
Taking out half the cabinet would have more effects from a terrorists point of view, either from a propaganda view or perhaps forcing policy changes, as would blowing up council buildings, Police stations, corporate boards, weapons makers and other high profile targets with suicide bombers etc...but they don't do that...i wonder why not?
It's not like a ring of security people is going to be able to stop a suicide bombers blast from 10 feet away, and it's not like the bomber is going to be terribly concerned for his or her own safety is it!
I agree with the OP..the Terrorists are very conspicuous by their absence...and their choice of target.

a reply to: muckleduck. Utter rubbish. The airspace over the United States is nowhere near the most secure.

a reply to: muckleduck What is funny, is how little factual knowledge you have about the buildings. And no, 9/11 was not the first , nor the last, time a steel building has died from fire.

a reply to: muckleduck We had 14, count them 14, armed fighter planes on alert for the continental United States. And they were primed to look at threats coming from over the oceans. We had no missiles, no gun emplacements, just those 14 fighters. And four of them were scrambled that day. Some Air Guard units managed to get some unarmed jets in the air, that might have stopped Flight 93 by ramming it over DC.

a reply to: muckleduck Seventeen steel framed floors of the Madrid Windsor Tower collapsed from fire alone. Only the massive concrete transfer slab below those floors arrested what engineers said would have been a complete collapse. As for the ESB, it had interior load bearing walls that stopped the B-25 friends M penetrating too far into the structure. The Towers had nothing like that in their design.

a reply to: muckleduck. WTC 7, had a twenty story hole carved out of its middle by the collapse of WTC 1, and also had the bottom ten floors of the southwest corner demolished. It was far for just a few lobby fires. The buildings had business damage/interruption insurance, NOT "terrorism" insurance. The same type of policies that paid out after the 93 bombing. And, while the Pentagon damage may have affected the Army's budget records, it did not affect the Air Force, Navy or the Departmental accounting departments ( and do not bring up the 2.3 trillion, it will just make you look that much more uninformed)

a reply to: muckleduck. The ESB, has a masonary facade and interior load bearing walls. That is why comparing the ESB to the WTC only shows how little you actually know about the subject. Well, then there is the mosquito of a B-25 being compared to the eagle of a 767...
