Er Ok, whatever you say, Chris. BTW, have you stopped beating your wife yet?
I asked first. Support the tower core you assert stood.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but is English your native language? Seriously, I have a hard time understanding what you are trying to say sometimes.
Why do no steel columns protrude from the center area of the core of WTC 2? Your attempt to evade this question by stating that this picture is inadequate in not reasonable. Silhouetted vertical elements would be visible in it if they existed.
Maybe, maybe not. You are laboring under the false impression that the core framing was self supporting. It was not. There was no lateral bracing for the core columns, thus they would not have been able to stand without the surrounding floor diaphragms to stabilize them.
Now my question.
Also, why are no steel columns seen piercing the stairs, why are none seen to the right of the stairs where elevators were?
Please define what you mean by “piercing the stairs.”
Where are the stairs in that photo?

"Why are you trying to hide the way Americans were murdered? Do the rights and freedoms of Americans mean anything to you? Only truth will protect them."

if people dont want this stuff to be brought up, Communication Master, then he shouldnt keep bringing up our rights and freedoms to howard rowark. ive only addressed that which was already brought up in this thread. what dont you understand about that? ANYTHING MENTIONED ON A THREAD, ESPECIALLY WHEN MENTIONED OVER AND OVER. IS FAIR GAME! Can you comprehend that, you "master" of communication?
so just get off the thread, please. he can respond if he wants. if not, then # what i said and they can talk about other things.
and blatantmoo?

I use our rights and name calling as a tool, and it works.

Anyway, back to the subject. Chris, I’d like to discuss these 17 foot thick walls with you. Since the whole of the core area was taken up by elevator shafts, utility shafts, toilets and stairwells, where exactly did they hide these 17 foot thick walls? Were the walls tapered on the inside or the outside of the core, or were they evenly tapered on both sides?

Answer the questions, and I'll answer yours.

I re-drew my drawing with the 17 foot walls on the outside of the core. You are correct Howard, these walls would take up way too much of the rentable space on the lower floors. here's my drawing. Note: the trusses have been removed for clarity sake.

edit: That is 9,158 square foot loss per floor of rentable space.
