Exactly how does understanding physics explain how jet engines can get inside of the building without entering the building? Let's change the situation to help you understand an extremely simple concept which you somehow are unable to grasp with your understanding of physics:
It does when you understand physics.
I throw two oranges at a pane of glass, and they both go SPLAT and don't make it through the glass but instead just make two juicy marks on the window. If there were two orange peels on the other side of that glass, how can you explain how they got there since the oranges never made it through?
AMEN TO THAT !!! BRAVO
Can you explain what Law of Physics, what equation can explain how the orange peel made it through? Because you're the one that understands physics, right? That makes sense to you since you understand physics?

nothing about the planes themselves or their wreckage has anything much to do with the number or nationality of the terrorists - you are creating a staw man, ignoring evidence, and making stuff up to suport your illogical conclusions.
You accuse the Government, commission, etc of being disinfo agents when you are one yourself - there's no inconsistency in your so-called challenge- except for your own mistakes (and I'm being kind calling them that!)

No that 'hole' does not match up. If the plane made that hole the engines would have been on the ground and made marks on the lawn.
Witnesses who observed the final moments of the crash stated that the plane banked left (some saying that the left wing hit the heliport) and that its low-hanging engines hit objects on the way in: the right engine hitting a generator trailer and the left engine hitting a low retaining wall. Post-crash photographs of the yard fit these accounts and show a pattern of damage consistent with the paths of the engines of a 757 based on the other data such as the light-pole path
You can also see columns pushed out, not in...
What happened to the OSers argument that the marks on the wall were made by the engines impacting?

No you haven't. Please don't just post a link expecting me to wade through it looking for what you claim. Point out exactly what it is you think contradicts my claims. Lazy trolls I tell ya, you don't even bother proof-reading and fixing your typos. You in a hurry for some reason?

I never said they did, are you paying attention to the point I was trying to make? No illogical conclusions, but contradictions that you have yet to clear up.

Sounds good. I am happy to see that you finally accept that 19 Muslim extremists hijacked four airliners, flew them into three buildings and caused total/partial collapses of those three buildings and caused a couple other buildings to either fall or have to be torn down because of the damage done to them........as the PHYSICAL evidence shows.
No that is not what the physical evidence shows. [
Subtract jet fuel from that equation:
Office furniture and supplies and a ton of other stuff + jet fuel + extremely high wind = blast furnace
--Dr. Shyam Sunder, the lead investigator for NIST.
The jet fuel probably burned out in less than 10 minutes.
.....Right, but the jet fuel is no longer feeding the fire after a few minutes meaning that the temperature would be dramatically lower than it would be if it was.
sorry for the 1 liner - but the fact that the jet fuel burned out doesn't stop the fire!!
I don't care, those are just some examples of skyscraper fires that didn't bring buildings down.
And how were they constructed, how much damage did they have to their structure?
Can you point out to me which one of those buildings cited by debunking911 was a steel framed skyscraper that collapsed completely?
It is a myth that they weer teh 1st, or the only steel framed buildings to collapse - tehre are several other examples given here - www.debunking911.com...
A link to the NIST report, I'm saved! In theory that sounds just peachy, but it doesn't play out in reality as NISTs own experiments found. You can find a more technical description of the epic fail on page 141 of the NIST report on the WTC at wtc.nist.gov...
The slightly lower temperature after the combustion of the jet fuel was probably unimportant since the temperature was not actually the major problem - ther was some loss of strength from the heating, which compounded other problems, but was probably not enough to cause hte collapse. the problem was mainly temperature differences - because the fire was relatively isolated parts of the structure were much hotter than others.
this created internal stresses - when you heat steel up it tries to expand - if it is constrained at each end buy somethign that does not allow it to expand tehn the internal stresses can be enough to cause failure - 150 degrees C difference is about enough to make this happen.
You can find a more technical description of the process in the NIST report on the WTC at wtc.nist.gov... - see chapter 2 at the top of page 10.
All four test specimens sustained the maximum design load for approximately [color=limegreen]2 hours
without collapsing....Nonetheless, [color=limegreen]the results established that this type of assembly was capable
of sustaining a large gravity load, without collapsing, for a substantial period of time relative to the
duration of the fires in any given location on September 11.

They are skyscrapers. The World Trade Centers were skyscrapers. They were on fire. The World Trade Centers were on fire.
so you dont' care whether they are similar to the WTC at all??
Because they are skyscrapers that had raging fires yet did not collapse. Here are some examples of airplanes hitting buildings, causing fires, and not causing the buildings to collapse:
so how do you consider they are relevant in that cae?
Not at all, but if you did some research and found that not a single wooden building had completely collapsed from fire damage in history, yet on one day three wooden buildings collapsed that would be very odd and would suggest a demolition.
I can show you examples of wooden buildings that burn and didnt' collapse - does that mean tha all wooden buyildings that collapse from fire are demolished??
I asked you to point out which one of those buildings cited by debunking911 was a skyscraper that collapsed completely.
did you read the examples on that page??
I understood exactly what it said, it was an experiment to test the trusses when exposed to fires similar to those found in the WTCs, and all four survived the conditions for 2 hours. If you're upset by those results, be mad at NIST for doing a s***** experiment when they knew very well what they should have done to accurately replicate the conditions.
the 4 samples were fine - with their intact fire insulation and taking no account of their effects on the members they were restrained by at each end.
Had you bothered to read the section I quoted in the post you replied to you might have gained some small inkling as to why the thermal stresses affected the remaining structure.
Also of course the draft report on page 145 notes that it required damaged insulation for the fires to have the effect they did - you will recall that the 4 test specimens had intact insulation of course - so all they do is confirm that an undamaged building might have had quite different behaviour - but we will likely never know exactly what.
It is typical that you have selected somethgni that looks superficially attractive to eh conspiracy hoax, taken it out of context, and simply not understood what it says
It matters because fire has never caused a skyscraper to completely collapse, yet on 9/11 it happened 3 times.
Why does it matter if the structure is a skyscraper or not?

Why would the government go through all this trouble and complexity just for an excuse to invade Iraq or pass the Patriot Act when a simple plan would have acheived the exact same results with a far less risk of something going wrong?
A single Al-Quieda man setting off a dirty bomb or something along those lines would have given America all the reason they needed.
If the government asked you to create something that would mobilize the American people is 9/11 what you would come up with? There are 1000 different things that have to go perfectly right for this to be pulled off. The amount of people with knowledge is far too large for comfort.
Look at the history of government cover-ups and how successful they were.
Gulf of Tonkin, Johnson couldn't even keep one little bombing incident secret and it was leaked through the pentagon papers.
Bay of Pigs. A disaster by Kennedy that didn't involve nearly the complexity of a 9/11 operation, totally blown
Watergate, Nixon couldn't even hide 2 people stealing files yet our government is gonna pull off something involving 4 jetliners and 100's of people?
Get serious and look at the big picture. Alot of people get hung up on details and do not see the forest through the trees.
All this was inspired by the principle - which is quite true in itself - that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes.
~ Adolf Hitler on "The Big Lie"
1.) to cover up the loss of TRILLIONS of dollars lost through the pentagon. Records were destroyed at both WTC7 and the Pentagon that day.
2.) to galvanize national support to invade Iraq as Saddam had just launched his oil bourse to begin trading oil in denominations other than the USD.
3.) to restore hundreds of billions in defense spending that Clinton had eliminated under his balanced budget initiative.
4.) To spook Americans into accepting the Nazi-styled Department of Homeland Security and unwittingly trading their freedom for security. We all know how that always works out.
5.) as a smokescreen to admit China into the WTO with little public resistance.
