" As he curled into a fetal position under his desk, the plane
tore into the side of the building and exploded.
Miraculously, Stanley was unhurt. However, he could see a flaming wing of the plane in the doorway of his department. He knew he needed to get out of his office and the building fast. But, he was trapped under debris up to
his shoulders.
A numerical simulation of the aircraft impact into the exterior columns of the World Trade Center (WTC) was done using LS-DYNA. For simplification, the fuselage was modeled as a thin-walled cylinder, the wings were modeled as box beams with a fuel pocket, and the engines were represented as rigid cylinders. The exterior columns of the WTC were represented as box beams. Actual masses, material properties and dimensions of the Boeing 767 aircraft and the exterior columns of the WTC were used in this analysis. It was found that about 46% of the initial kinetic energy of the aircraft was used to damage columns. The minimum impact velocity of the aircraft to just penetrate the exterior columns would be 130 m/s. It was also found that a Boeing 767 traveling at top speed would not penetrate exterior columns of the WTC if the columns were thicker than 20 mm.

The second one was clearly a United Airlines, all the footage shows this too
The fact that I seen it with my own eyes, proves to me that Planes hit the towers.
The fact that the footage of the 2nd plane is clearly a United Airlines, proves to me that it was United.
I am still yet to see ANYTHING at all that puts doubt on this.

So it had United markings on it, what type of plane?

a 46% loss of kinetic energy REQUIRES A VISIBLE SLOWDOWN of about one half, which makes the morgan reynold's take WAY more on the money. the ONLY reason i have stuck with the 'no planes' theory is because of the way the plane 'butters' into the building. it is not physically possible for a plane to break through that hardy permiter AND not visibly SHRED it's thin aluminum skin at least SOMEWHAT.

It was a 767, most people who work in the Airline industry and any Airline Fanatic can also tell you this.
Ask your average person on the street and most can’t tell the difference between a 757, 767, 777 or even a damn 747.

"i was there, too, and i didn't see the planes. there were no planes" easy to do with a computer keyboard.

i don't know if anyone else thought of this, but there is also the possibility of 'direct input' of sensory data to the brains of all onlookers.

Can someone please answer my question i posted; If there were no planes, then how can one explain the engine that landed a few blocks away from the towers/which could also be seen leaving the other side of the tower in a fireball on many videos..
Please.

The people who believe the hologram theory, cannot explain that, so therefore will not answer and as usual just completely avoid the question.
Either that or your going to get a reply a long the lines of “that was planted there”

To me, this is direct evidence that there were real planes used. I could understand the "they planted it there", but as to how they faked a flaming fireball..

This theory stemmed from the fact that nothing about the way the planes entered the buildings can be explained so therefor, people are looking way outside the box on this one. As far as outside the box as it takes to even catch up to the anomalies that occurred on that day.
One must not look at reality in limitations, that limits the frequencies of perception and comprehension.

What about the way the planes entered the buildings can't be explained?
Lets see now... the plane effortlessly punches through the wall, the wings making a shape of themselves, effortlessly punches through the core, and then, with a few feet to spare, once its completely inside the building, puts the brakes on and then blows up into nothing, with the explosion miraculously causing no extra damage to the building.
This would also mean that those razor sharp aluminium wings which sliced so easily through the flimsy construction steel would have been merrily slicing away for about 100 ft into the building, slicing the building like a loaf of bread before the plane blew up. The slice then healed itself. Perhaps the explosion put it all back into place...
This kind of thing might happen in cartoons and in the "minds" of people like Eastman, but it's notably absent from real life.
