PD2: Can you comment about the transparent plane a bit. Thanks.

No, no, no, no...
A bullet acts like the "plane" (And the NIST model), it could undergo fragmentation and pieces could bounce or not and penetrate or not whatever material you choose.
I know that everyone understands the NIST model, your spin will not work.
By the way... I'm not creating any model here, we are looking into the NIST model (Desintegration, piercing and deflection), just a remainder.

Dude the reason it looks like its transparent is because of the blur and speed of the plane. Think of waving your hand back and forth really fast and you see your hand through in a way because of the "ghost image" or as being transparent.

are you really serious??
i said take a physics course and your questions would go away.
it's called momentum; the plane has more momentum than the area of the building it crashed into...
also, the force in which the plane applied to the area of the building it hit is greater than the force that the area of the building applied onto the plane.
the plane wins. no deflection, no bouncy bouncy, just plain ol' physics at work.
that is why when you shoot someone with a bullet, it goes through their skin, unlike shooting kevlar. the resistance in kevlar causes a greater force to push back onto the bullet, keeping it from penetrating the material.
if that plane had hit a solid wall of steel that was 20ft thick, it would not penetrate the wall. the planes hit thin shafts of steel on the edges, with glass in between...much less resistance than a plane going 600mph.

I think for this effect to accure the way this picture shows the plane would have to go in and then come out real fast again at this point you would have this transparency effect from back and forth.
just makes sense that way since there is no stretch transparency.

Try using your arm and make a big swing fast enough. Don't need to move your hand or arm back and forth. Take a picture of it as you do it.

i just think that for a plane to hit the beems that supports such a big building would indeed have a reflecting oposition.

Are you stating that the NIST model is wrong? It shows MASSIVE deflection...
By the way... The ol' trick of the glass is not going to work, we all know that the WTC sides where mostly hard, very, very hard steel. It is inherent to the --tube-- structure.
Your theory (You ignore the NIST simulation, of course) is that the plane wraps itself into the tiny windows, and the massive columns do not act as a collision target, and simply dissapears into it right?
I've read that stuff around here lots of times. It's very mythical (Well in the line of all the official explanations).
Please show proof that the NIST model is wrong because you are stating that "the plane wins" hence no deflection is seen.

there are joints in the building...it's not like the beams are one solid beam...then i might believe you, but they are connected by bolts that could give under a great amount of force easily.

Pardon me: as NIST shows... NIST shows huge amounts of deflection.
Remainder: the video does not show ANY deflection (Even with the "plane" totally inside the buidling).

Are you saying the military paper I posted was fake? This was not a proposal it was a statement of fact. It was operational.
