The fallacy comes into play when you insinuate that this is all that people are doing.

Any questions?
A pyroclastic flow (also known scientifically as a pyroclastic density current[1]) is a common and devastating result of certain explosive volcanic eruptions.
...
There are several scenarios which can produce a pyroclastic flow:
* Fountain collapse of an eruption column from a Plinian eruption (e.g., Mount Vesuvius's destruction of Pompeii, see Pliny the Younger). In such an eruption, the material ejected from the vent heats the surrounding air and the turbulent mixture rises, through convection, for many kilometres. If the erupted jet is unable to heat the surrounding air sufficiently, convection currents will not be strong enough to carry the plume upwards and it falls, flowing down the flanks of the volcano.
* Frothing at the mouth of the vent during degassing of the erupted lava at the mouth. This can lead to the production of a rock called ignimbrite. This occurred during the eruption of Novarupta in 1912 which produced the largest flows to be generated during recorded history.
* Gravitational collapse of a lava dome or spine, with subsequent avalanches and flow down a steep slope e.g., Montserrat's Soufrière Hills volcano.
* Fountain collapse of an eruption column associated with a vulcanian eruption e.g., Montserrat's Soufrière Hills volcano has generated many pyroclastic flows and surges.
* The directional blast (or jet) when part of a volcano explodes or collapses (e.g. the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens) As distance from the volcano increases, this rapidly transforms into a gravity-driven current.

You get people like BSbray who has posted the same claims in the past, and EVERY ONE OF HIS CLAIMS has been proven wrong...

Face it, you have much more emotion and angst wrapped up in this than you do reasoning.

the only one basing their claims on "emotions" and "feelings" are people like you...

already did AGAIN BSbray... But of course, and like ALWAYS you will try to "deny, deny, deny"...
Go ahead cover your hears and start yelling "I can't hear you, I can't hear you"... that's all you do when people demonstrate your claims are WRONG...

So what claim of mine did you just prove wrong again?
All I had to do was ask you if you wanted to talk about what you proved wrong, and already you're copping out.
You want to start with FEMA, appendix C? That's the one that's been going around most lately it seems.
The towers did not fall at or below free fall speeds…
In every photo and every video, you can see columns far outpacing the collapse of the building. Not only are the columns falling faster than the building but they are also falling faster than the debris cloud which is ALSO falling faster than the building. This proves the buildings fell well below free fall speed. That is, unless the beams had a rocket pointed to the ground.
Just look at any video you like and watch the perimeter columns.
Deceptive videos stop the timer of the fall at 10:09 when only the perimeter column hits the ground and not the building itself. If you notice, the building just finishes disappearing behind the debris cloud which is still about 40 stories high.
Below is a more accurate graphic using a paper written by Dr. Frank Greening which can be found at: www.911myths.com...
The paper takes the transfer of momentum into account. Like a billiard ball being hit by another on a pool table, each floor transferred its momentum to the next as represented below. The more weight, the less resistance each floor gave.
....
The time required to strip off a floor, according to Frank Greening, is a maximum of about 110 milliseconds = 0.110 seconds. It is rather the conservation of momentum that slowed the collapse together with a small additional time for the destruction of each floor.
Below are calculations from a physics blogger...
When I did the calculations, what I got for a thousand feet was about nine seconds- let's see,
d = 1/2at^2
so
t = (2d/a)^1/2
a is 9.8m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity at Earth's surface, according to Wikipedia), [He gives this reference so you can double check him.]
d is 417m (height of the World Trade Center towers, same source)
so
t = (834m/9.8m/s^2)^1/2 = 9.23s
OK, so how fast was it going? Easy enough,
v = at
v = (9.8m/s^2 x 9.23s) = 90.4m/s
So in the following second, it would have fallen about another hundred meters. That's almost a quarter of the height it already fell. And we haven't even made it to eleven seconds yet; it could have fallen more than twice its height in that additional four seconds. If the top fell freely, in 13.23 seconds it would have fallen about two and one-half times as far as it actually did fall in that time. So the collapse was at much less than free-fall rates.
Let's see:
KE = 1/2mv^2
The mass of the towers was about 450 million kg, according to this. Four sources, he has. I think that's pretty definitive. So now we can take the KE of the top floor, and divide by two- that will be the average of the top and bottom floors. Then we'll compare that to the KE of a floor in the middle, and if they're comparable, then we're good to go- take the KE of the top floor and divide by two and multiply by 110 stories. We'll also assume that the mass is evenly divided among the floors, and that they were loaded to perhaps half of their load rating of 100lbs/sqft. That would be
208ft x 208ft = 43,264sqft
50lbs/sqft * 43264sqft = 2,163,200lbs = 981,211kg
additional weight per floor. So the top floor would be
450,000,000 kg / 110 floors = 4,090,909 kg/floor
so the total mass would be
4,090,909 kg + 981,211 kg = 5,072,120 kg/floor
Now, the velocity at impact we figured above was
90.4m/s
so our
KE = (5,072,120kg x (90.4m/s)^2)/2 = 20,725,088,521J
So, divide by 2 and we get
10,362,544,260J
OK, now let's try a floor halfway up:
t = (2d/a)^1/2 = (417/9.8)^1/2 = 6.52s
v = at = 9.8*6.52 = 63.93m/s
KE = (mv^2)/2 = (5,072,120kg x (63.93m/s)^2)/2 = 10,363,863,011J
Hey, look at that! They're almost equal! That means we can just multiply that 10 billion Joules of energy by 110 floors and get the total, to a very good approximation. Let's see now, that's
110 floors * 10,362,544,260J (see, I'm being conservative, took the lower value)
= 1,139,879,868,600J
OK, now how much is 1.1 trillion joules in tons of TNT-equivalent? Let's see, now, a ton of TNT is 4,184,000,000J. So how many tons of TNT is 1,139,879,868,600J?
1,139,879,868,600J / 4,184,000,000J/t = 272t
Now, thats 272 tons of TNT, more or less; five hundred forty one-thousand-pound blockbuster bombs, more or less. Thats over a quarter kiloton. Were talking about as much energy as a small nuclear weapon- and weve only calculated the kinetic energy of the falling building. We havent added in the burning fuel, or the burning paper and cloth and wood and plastic, or the kinetic energy of impact of the plane (which, by the way, would have substantially turned to heat, and been put into the tower by the plane debris, thats another small nuclear weapon-equivalent) and weve got enough heat to melt the entire whole thing.

Woohooo, once again the illogical response from BSbray...

From your claims of "freefall"
to the claims of "thermite' WHICH YOU HAVE BROUGHT UP SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE, and EVERYTIME they have been DEBUNKED....
Just because the FEMA story is not 100% correct DOESN'T MEAN THE GOVERNMENT WAS BEHIND IT...
I explained it like three times already, the website of the "supposed 1,200+ architects, which there is no evidence of since there is no list ANYWHERE of these supposed architects,
use the claim of "nanothermite" as part of their claims that it was an inside job. But the "nanothermite" supposed research was nothing more than ANOTHER SCAM...
Bentham Science Publishers allows ANYONE to post ANY claims as long as they pay $800 U.S.D....
The Editor in Chief WHO HAS EXPERIENCE IN NANOPARTICLES/NANOMATERIALS quit because that bogus nanothermite paper, alongside MANY OTHER BOGUS PAPERS have been accepted and published by Bentham science Publishers just to make more money...
Your claims of "nano-thermite", your claims of "pyroclastic clouds", and"freefall" have ALL been proven to be wrong... But like you ALWAYS do, keep claiming none of that is true and instead and like always you will claim that you have proven your point...

No, a true free-fall means NO energy is lost, not "little." Though this would be theoretically impossible to achieve 100%, WTC7 fell within a ridiculously close margin of error of this acceleration. We are not talking about a free-fall acceleration that includes drag. We are talking about 9.82 m/s^2, within some small margin of error, which is gravitational acceleration in a vacuum. You do understand that 9.82 m/s^2 is absolute free-fall in a vacuum, don't you? Look it up if you have to.

I can't answer for him but I can tell you what I want to know. Do you have any idea what is required to achieve a free-fall acceleration? It basically means there was absolutely NOTHING under the collapsing section to slow it down -- NO support -- at ALL, from the structure that was supposedly still in the process of "collapsing."

Was the free-fall acceleration confirmed for the given period of time or not?
Does free-fall acceleration imply the kinetic energy of the object is being conserved or not? I really hope I'm not taking your understanding of gravitational kinetic energy for granted.
