High school teacher-level Physics calculations show Gravity ACTION on 9/11 Towers was 0.1 KiloTons of TNT-equivalent ENERGY, and then debris and dust erupted over 8.5 KiloTons of 'TNT' ENERGY in REACTION. No spin, FACT: 0.1 KT ACTION not equal 8.5 KT REACTION Who dunnit? :::::::: When the top chunk of Mt. St. Helens turned into a cloud of dust, thrown on the landscape, then TV and newspapers said the mountain expended the energy equivalent of 30,000 K Tons of TNT, (a Kilo Ton, or 'KT,' is 1000 tons, and TNT is energetic 'dynamite' force). I talked with the editor of the local newspaper recently, and he remembered publishing such a number back then. How did they know that number? Were there conflicting opinions? Did TV and newspapers give 'equal time' for disagreement -- back then, May 18, 1980, the Fairness Doctrine still regulated broadcasting to air all sides, or arguable points of view, of any debateable issue -- was it 40,000 KT of TNT equivalent energy? Or 10,000 KT? No, that's just silly talk. Certainly it was 30,000 KT, no argument, no debate. The number is not an 'opinion,' it's a calculation of a fact. Like an Example problem, perhaps in Physics homework. Multiply the massive weight of the rock times how far it flew against gravity's energy forcing it down to the ground; and so, weight times distance times gravity, is the energy number ... presto, the math is done, easy as pie.

Each 9/11 dust cloud measured 8.5 KT of (energy) force spreading out of the building. But only 0.1 KT of gravity pushed each building, straight down. Such 'Action-NOT equal-Reaction' was as if you dropped a 1 Ton book off the table and the scale measured 85 Tons hit it. The mystery of where the extra energy force came from, measured on 9/11, is an unsolved mystery.
Can anybody spot flaws in the mathematics presented?edit on 16-9-2011 by Cassius666 because: (no reason given)
I'm no physicist, but I don't see how this could be measured!

There have been many estimates of the kinetic energy, Ec, involved in each of
the plane crashes, however, for simplicity, we will use a single value based on an
assumed aircraft mass of 124,000 kg and a velocity at the moment of impact of 220 m/s.
With this mass and velocity, the aircraft impact kinetic energy is equal to,
Ec = ½ 124,000 (220)2 J = 3.0 109 J
3.0 * 10^9 J
So according to your source there was more than 7.5 Kilo Tons of explosives hidden in the buildings?
That is what you're trying to tell me ... Right ?
No wait It's more than 8.4 kilo tons of explosives.
Wow, where did they hide it all ?
The perimeter structure containing 59 columns per side was constructed with extensive use of prefabricated modular pieces each consisting of three columns, three stories tall, connected by spandrel plates.
The core of each tower was a rectangular area 87 by 135 feet (27 by 41 m) and contained 47 steel columns running from the bedrock to the top of the tower.

Meh, calculating the energy released is quite easy, actually...

Your source does not say kilograms, it says "kilo tons" to much energy. You have bitten off more than you can chew.

So you calculated the energy of floors 90-110 then.
What about 80-90?
70-80?
Seems like you forgot a little there....

The outside energy was introduced in the form of a boeing 767 hitting the building at about 500 mph

In addition there was almost 10,000 gal of Jet fuel dumped into each building

Can I ask who you believe placed all of these explosives?
Did the government "do away" with all of the contractors it would take to rig every beam of every floor with explosives?
That is alot of tnt to bring in and set up............
Did they have a different trigger for every floor?Who's hitting the switches?
The buldings seemed to collapse about where the planes hit......
If the highjackers were such lousy pilots how did they hit the right floor to cause the collapse? There is alot of room for alot of error.
Do you believe that the dust cloud expanded solely due to heating of the air?
I hope not....
