Oh, this just in: I just bought the pdf and read it, and turns out it's wrong. I would explain how but I want you to have the pdf in front of you again too before I try to explain, or else you won't have a clue what I'm talking about.

So in the mean time, why not explain to us NIST's hypothesis again?

6000 gallons of fuel ignited upon impact per plane. The other 4000 gallons ignited as the buildings collapsed causing the disinegration of everything in it's way. The hijackers made sure the planes were stocked full of gas, it was a priority of which planes were chosen.
Star and flag John, for bringing up the reality of 9/11.

yes, i noticed that "joey canoli" uses all the stock "debunker" arguments that all the debbies (debunkers) use, and when actually cornered to produce his own argument, tries to steer the conversation away from actually discussing the relevant content.
From the 21 channels with seats, a total of 31 seats were available for inspection...Over 90 percent of the seats were still intact with the majority of these somewhat deformed. Only two seats were observed to be ripped comletely from the channel at the welded joint between the seat and the channel.

I have no idea why the majority of the external seats would fail in a downward direction (including being completely stripped from the external columns) while the majority of the of the inner seats remained intact and show no severe downward force.
It's stymied me for quite some time.
Do you have a tantalizing explanation for me?

The core seats have 2 -5/8" bolts only, from what I can see, correct?
The ext column seats have 2 - 5/8" bolts, a 3/8" gusset plate welded to the top chord and the column, 2 - 1" bolts holding the damper, and the occasional (?) strap holding it to the ext column.
Apply weight to a floor and it sags some, and puts these connections under tension, correct? Which will break free first?
If my belief is correct, and the core connection breaks first, there will be little to no downward bending.
The ect connection will "hold on" longer, and allow the floor to tilt, since the interior connection is now broken. And so, the seat will be bent and torn in a downward manner.
So...... like I've been saying..... the collapse progression depends on the strength of the floor connections. The columns had no part in it.....

What do you want me to do, seriously? Do you want me to spend $30, or do you want me to drive to a closed library? Oh, this just in: I just bought the pdf and read it, and turns out it's wrong. I would explain how but I want you to have the pdf in front of you again too before I try to explain, or else you won't have a clue what I'm talking about.

I would not have to ask the same question 7+ times to receive a legitimate response.

No, I'm talking about during the collapse progression, not initiation. it would be nearly impossible to find a core seat in the collapse initiation zone.
So now think about what I said, keeping in mind debris falling on top of the floors as the collapse progressed.
THAT is what I thought what you were referring to. A point, I might add, that was not covered in the NIST report.
Everything YOU just laid out in your bullet points deals with initiation. Or have I been reading your question as to WHY the seats below the initiation zone were bent down wrong. Are you mixing the 2 up, or I?
