This is right at the beginning of the collapse..thats alot of drywall eh
Originally posted by shrunkensimonAnd what answer? You attempted to shoot me down and failed. "not much energy"...you evidently know nothing about the collapses.
Originally posted by FitzgibbonWhat? You never heard of drywall? You think the interior was wide-open steel and concrete? As for the energy to pulverise it (not that much energy would be required) has everyone forgotten high school physics and the potential energy imparted to everything lifted up to the various heights over the years?
Originally posted by shrunkensimonThe amount of energy to pulverize concrete into micron fine powder at such high speed and in such amounts needs one very intense source of energy. Conventional explosives nor a gravity driven "pancake" (lol) collapse can not provide such energy.

Close but not that close to the beginning that there wouldn't have been a large energy transfer to lower floors. And are you suggesting there isn't a healthy (or unhealthy as you prefer) percentage of drywall dust and other ash in that plume? Or does it all have to be concrete from the core to work for you? Just what sort of energy would you suppose has been released at this point? Not an inconsiderable amount to be sure.
Try taking it in context. I was talking about the relative amount of energy that would be required to crush and/or expel drywall and other ash. In case you'd forgotten what I wrote as opposed to what you want to suggest....
BTW, in case you didn't understand, "it" in my statement referred to drywall. As for the concrete, notice that the top of the tower is canted. That suggests partial not total failure. Once that area gave, the load would've briefly shifted to the remaining part of the core before it too gave way, releasing the potential energy stored in the matter of the tower stories above it.
You were able to isolate the matter extruding from the building here and determine that it was micron-sized? How about a link to your research? As for the rest of your paragraph, how about some links there to some reputable research?

At the very beginning of the collapse, when only 3 or so floors worth had "pancaked" together, the amount of dust outside the towers is significant already. How do you explain all that dust being created so fast, and in such large amounts.
Originally posted by shrunkensimonWatch any building demolition, and you see fine white dust being produced by explosives high up in the buildings, and THICK GREY smoke from the bases of the buildings when a significant number of floors have come together forcing out already pulverized concrete!
Originally posted by shrunkensimonWhat im saying is, there should not be this amount of dust when only a few floors have come together, especially seeing as explosive action is NOT part of the official story!

Your just trying to blag that all this dust is just naturally occuring from pancaking floors.. -_-

Releasing what energy? Concrete doesn't pulverize itself, and then go on to leave a debry pile much smaller than it should have done! You smash concrete together and it crumbles, but doesnt all turn into micron fine dust, only a very small percentage does.
Originally posted by shrunkensimonYet the dust clouds behaved as pyroclastic flow clouds showing just how much pulverized concrete was created. I'll wait for you to research pyroclastic flows, then you can get back to me...drywall dust would not create such a thing.

Google is your friend, and so is the search facility at the top right of this page! Im not going to waste my time proving you wrong, why should i care whether you know the truth or not?

Can we keep to the thread please, as i said, im not here to prove you wrong, i don't care what you say, but this thread is about nukes bringing the towers down...if you want to claim it was a gravity driven collapse, go to the correct thread!
And yes they do put explosives high up in the buildings (not all, depends on building), to ensure that the building still collapses inwards. If you blow out only the base, and the building is tall, it will topple..you need to brake it up in segments to ensure a collapse within a certain radius. Again, you've proven yourself to be a debunker throwing hot air.

Theres also the matter of the collapse.. massive amounts of dust shot out the impact zone as the building started to fall, literally within 1-2 seconds.. where is all this dust coming from? And where is all the energy coming from to pulverize it so fast?

See, you can't even read my posts properly. If you had, you would have realised that when i was talking about explosives high up, i was referring to "if you watch any demolition video", not the twin towers.
Originally posted by shrunkensimonI was using comparisons for the DUST, not for the way the towers were demolished. Your trying to defeat me on an argument you've created, not one that i have.

Originally posted by shrunkensimonSorry, but the tower collapses are not "high school physics". Building demolition is a fine art. And the simple observation you can determine from the videos is that the towers literally turn too dust, as stated by a firefighter from 9.11;
Originally posted by shrunkensimonTo demolish the towers would require either a) tonnes of explosives, wiring, and detonators b) a few placed charges, and a micronuke in the basement.

Originally posted by shrunkensimonAs for the collapse being due to fire, that is SO wrong, and proven, that it just makes me laugh that people cling on to it so much;

Mate, why do you care? I already told you i couldn't give a damn what you want to believe, i really don't, so why are you persisting? This thread is about nukes bringing the towers down, not a gravity collapse, so DEAL WITH IT.

Originally posted by Fitzgibbon Yet you can't possibly fathom that the weakened structure could fall just by force of gravity? Who's in denial here?
There's massive amounts of potential energy stored within every atom of the building. THERE'S your energy source!
And nukes and controlled demolition are just SO much more believalbe.
