When you say that do you have an expert source to back it up or is that your 100% un-expert opinion?
Allow me to present you with some experts who disagree with that theory.
1.So provide us with a link to where any of those EXPERTS provided you with a table of data on the TONS of STEEL and TONS of CONCRETE that were on every level of WTC 1 or 2.
2. Do you need a degree in physics to understand that skyscrapers must hold themselves up?
3. Do you need a degree in structural engineering to comprehend that skyscrapers must withstand the wind?
4. Are kinetic energy and the conservation of momentum too difficult for you to understand?
5. Do you need an EXPERT to wipe your behind for you.
6. Look at the Purdue simulation of the north tower impact and explain why the core columns don't move as a result of the impact.
7. We have too many dummies that won't think for themselves about grade school physics but will listen to EXPERTS talk idiotic drivel.
8. Have you ever noticed that cars wear out?
9. Doesn't that mean cars DEPRECIATE?
10. But what is the ANNUAL DEPRECIATION of all of the automobiles on the planet?
11. With all of the economists that appear on television regularly have you ever heard that question raised?
12. Don't the cars get added to GDP for every country?
13. So why no mention of their depreciation?
14. That should help teach you to trust EXPERTS.
15. Try finding the weight of a complete floor assembly. You know those things that some experts say pancaked and some experts say did not pancake. And then no expert knows what one weighed. ROFL
16. Now even if the floor assemblies fell the perimeter columns of the WTC would have been connected horizontally by spandrels and there was still the core to prevent twisting like that model did. So these EXPERTS dish out BS and expect dummies to not notice how ridiculous it is.

1. www.journalof911studies.com...
I laughed at how easy this was to find. It even cites it's sources. Something you have yet to do.
13. because GDP= C + Inv +G + (eX-I)
SOURCE en.wikipedia.org...
I come here to find out what people who actually know something think. I didn't come here to hear someones 100% un-expert opinion and questions about the ever decreasing value of a car and be pointed out examples how how un-expert people are in terms of college economics 101.
So please cite your source or leave your 100% un-expert opinion out of this. On and for that mattter leave my 100% un-expert opinion out of this too!
You can laugh all you want. I have had Gregory Urich's spreadsheet on my computer for years. This is his website:
the911forum.freeforums.org...
Frank Greening who I have also communicated with claims his data i the best but Urich admits that he is doing a linear interpolation on the exterior wall panels. That means he doesn't have the data. Plus his interpolation does not match the one data point we do have. There is an article from a 1970 engineering magazine stating that the heavies wall panel was 22 tons. Urich's spreadsheet has it at 19. So Urich's distribution up the outside of the building is wrong.
On the economics business it is the NET DOMESTIC PRODUCT not the Gross which takes DEPRECIATION into account but it only does CAPITAL GOODS. The Depreciation of all of the CONSUMER AUTOMOBILES is ignored. You can check any economics book you want.
You won't find it mentioned in any source. TRY USING YOUR BRAIN.
Cars purchased by consumers DEPRECIATE. The entire economics profession ignores it.

Do you NEED an expert to TELL YOU that toothpicks and washers are NOT an accurate representation on the towers either.
Yes a tower is designed to hold its own weight,wind loads other static and dynamic loads.
Do you know that metal fixings tend to have a factor of safety of around 3 when loads are taken into consideraration DO you think the fixings could have resisited ALL the mass from the floors above falling on them ie MANY FLOORS NO!
THe source you linked was just to a forum site. For those looking to research here is the expert talking about the mass of the WTC.
SOURCE
Gregory H. Urich
B.S. Electrical and Computer Engineering
"The calculated mass of 288,100 metric tons (317,500 short tons) is found to correspond with two other comparable structures (in terms of mass per unit floor area), data from NIST’s SAP2000 model, and the reported amount of recovered debris."
"The calculated debris mass (1.6 million tons) seems to correspond well with the reported debris mass (1.66 million tons)."

But then of course it is so PECULIAR that people bring up GREGORY URICH.
Urich is a Software Engineer in SWEDEN.
We are talking about buildings destroyed in the United States, the nation that put MEN ON THE MOON!!!
Why haven't structural engineers in the US come up with this information. Why is it from some dude in Sweden?
And the NIST can't even specify the total for the CONCRETE in their 10,000 pages. They specify the total for the steel THREE TIMES.

This is beyond bizarre, when one considers that One White Eye started a thread about PE because YOU don't understand the concept. Several members there tried - in vain from what I can tell - to instruct you where you weren't understanding.
Sad that they had zero effect.

Don't really get you...I'm not a truther I'm a realist
people have gotten fact and fiction mixed up badly...
But I rarely argue about it until I saw this thread and how many people still believe the lie...
Go read the thread. The source is Psikeyhacker, by bare assertion and misapplication/misunderstanding of physics.
That thread gets REAL funny when he tries to defend his view.
