Dude. I don't think the towers were pressurized. We're not talking about elementary physics principles. Elementary physics applies a little differently in real life, since we are not in a vacuum and must account for many other forces and factors.
Tell waypastvne. He brought up negative pressure and Bernoulli effect.

Sounds like you have fuel injection, not a carburetor.
You can say what you want about air pressure, but you still have the problem that fuel does not explode when ignited in open air.
Fuel will only cause an 'explosion' if it is in an airtight container, where the gasses released can build pressure and rupture the container.

What I was saying is that the elevators were not pressurized, so while the basic effect will be there, it won't be as strong, meaning that there won't much to stop the flow of jet fuel down the elevator, which brings vapor too. Vapor ignites, and heating a relatively small space quickly will cause explosions.

And a carburetor pulls fluid out of the tube not put it in so your straw man is upside down anyway.
Someone who can't figure out that air will rush in to fill a low pressure, Is literally not smart enough to breath.
So that SMALL PERCENTAGE that happened to be going in the right direction to reach the elevator shaft....

Then what did you bring up the Bernoulli effect for?

I brought up the subject of Bernoulli effect to answer the stupid truther question " how did jet fuel get in to the elevator shafts", Silly. Try and pay attention, and remember to breath.
Here is the summation again:
The air from the plane passed over the elevator shafts and ducts.
As it passed over, it drew (sucked)* a large amount of air out of the shafts and left a low pressure inside the shafts.
The low pressure drew (sucked)* a large amount of air and jet fuel back into the shafts when it equalised.
The jet fuel ignited..... Mystery solved.
*I added a substitute term (sucked) incase the term drew was too technical for you, or you might think Bernolli was an artist and actually drew a picture of air coming out of the shafts.edit on 18-7-2012 by waypastvne because: (no reason given)
