Title: The truth behind 9/11 - From the engineering viewpoint.
Post by: IFBBwannaB on March 01, 2009, 10:52:48 AM


FF to 1:00 and see how easy it is to shape hot metal.

Now also keep in mind that the columns were hit by a freaking giant plane at almost Mach 1 & that they have 20-30 floors on top of them (I think they produce a little more pressure than a guy with a hammer).


Wow...that was hard....a whole 1 minute of trying to look into it by using metallurgical propertires instead of flip flopping crazy CT's and dreaming up aliens digging under the foundations.

Take care  ;)

First let me ask you how does it fit YOUR CT? You all started with the towers...when that failed you picked on WTC7.

In regards to WTC7 , the "tiny" towers that crashed next to it + fires (did you forget what you just saw in the youtube video) didn't help....but I guess that doesn't matter.

After you will finally understand that theory is BS you will start complaining about the plane that hit the Pentagon and I'm sure you will find something else to invent a CT on afterwards.

This thread was about a scientific issue.  The melting point of steel and just how a 500 ft tall building with only fire damage managed to be reduced to 100 ft of metal, and tons and tons of small dust, in under 10 seconds.

This is a scientific issue.  Surely we cannot have a conversation on morality and govt, because I think we all realize by now the two are not capable of existing in the same place at the same time ;)

no..both planes hit above 70 floors atleast ....

wtc was made to with-stand jet crashes exactly like what happened.

the base should not have crumbled under...if anything..and i mean anything...the damaged parts and the floors above it should have slid right off

thats plain logic.

The towers were not design to withstand the impact from 757 dreamliners full of fuel.

Gravity always pull down. The floors are flat and mass falls vertically.

Your logic is missing.

240 the melting point of steel is not in question it is at what temperature steel would lose enough strength to collapse the building.
Read the NIST reports the information is there.

i'm thinking a massive pile of dust and smoking metal with thousands dead, coupled with the trauma of our countries most important buildings wiped off the map miiiiiight be a little more dramatic than 2 giant holes in wtc burning for a couple days and maybe a 2 or 3 hundred deaths.

the latter would be tradgic too don't get me wrong but would it flip that imperialistic "go get em" switch in the heads of many americans as well as the former?

Well, a few weeks ago 240 was asserting the notion that the US government was somehow able to line a building that is open to thousands of people 24/7/365 with the thousands of pounds of explosives needed to bring it down without a single person noticing or commenting. Not only that, they were also able to make three planes, full of hundreds of people, disappear off the face of the earth!!!!!!!!

Ok lets address the subjects that people have brought up:

1.WTC7 feel at free fall speed, well I used a little something called Newton kinematic equation and proved that statement wrong. 240 if you claim that the NIST say THAT than PLEASE give us a direct quote.

2.As Ozmo have said, our brilliant getbig team did a comprehensive structure analysis by using a 20 sec video of a building burning.....that should be enough to understand how deep they go in their investigations.

3.The purpose of this thread was to show some of the getbig experts the effects of heat on metal, according to the getbig experts the bronze and iron age shouldn't exist since they couldn't melt the metals .... yet.... I'm pretty sure they didn't fight with wooden swords.

4.Lining buildings those with explosive is impossible , they have tens of thousands of people in them daily...kind of hard to hide. Go watch a youtube video of how many wires and drilling is needed for such an operation.

5.If the WTC7 was just a government operation than why didn't they arrange it a better story? Maybe a plane or helicopter collide into it too? I mean you claim this was the most brilliant government inside job ever...yet...they forgot to make a cover story for this building  ::)

Did I miss any theory?

The fucking egineers who designed the wtc....go read up on what they said dip shit.

I have.
I also read the NIST report and FEMA report and what the ASCE had to say on the matter.
 Here is a little snippet from the NIST faqs.


http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/factsheets/faqs_8_2006.htm

1.  If the World Trade Center (WTC) towers were designed to withstand multiple impacts by Boeing 707 aircraft, why did the impact of individual 767s cause so much damage?

As stated in Section 5.3.2 of NIST NCSTAR 1, a document from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) indicated that the impact of a [single, not multiple] Boeing 707 aircraft was analyzed during the design stage of the WTC towers. However, NIST investigators were unable to locate any documentation of the criteria and method used in the impact analysis and, therefore, were unable to verify the assertion that “… such collision would result in only local damage which could not cause collapse or substantial damage to the building.…”

The capability to conduct rigorous simulations of the aircraft impact, the growth and spread of the ensuing fires, and the effects of fires on the structure is a recent development. Since the approach to structural modeling was developed for the NIST WTC investigation, the technical capability available to the PANYNJ and its consultants and contactors to perform such analyses in the 1960s would have been quite limited in comparison to the capabilities brought to bear in the NIST investigation.

The damage from the impact of a Boeing 767 aircraft (which is about 20 percent bigger than a Boeing 707) into each tower is well documented in NCSTAR 1-2. The massive damage was caused by the large mass of the aircraft, their high speed and momentum, which severed the relatively light steel of the exterior columns on the impact floors. The results of the NIST impact analyses matched well with observations (from photos and videos and analysis of recovered WTC steel) of exterior damage and of the amount and location of debris exiting from the buildings. This agreement supports the premise that the structural damage to the towers was due to the aircraft impact and not to any alternative forces.

http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/factsheets/faqs_12_2007.htm
 2.  Were the basic principles of conservation of momentum and energy satisfied in NIST’s analysis of the structural response of the towers to the aircraft impact and the fires?

Yes.  The basic principles of conservation of momentum and conservation of energy were satisfied in these analyses.   

In the case of the aircraft impact analyses, which involved a moving aircraft (velocity) and an initially stationary building, the analysis did, indeed, account for conservation of momentum and energy (kinetic energy, strain energy).

After each tower had finished oscillating from the aircraft impact, the subsequent degradation of the structure involved only minute (essentially zero) velocities.  Thus, a static analysis of the structural response and collapse initiation was appropriate.  Since the velocities were zero and since momentum is equal to mass times velocity, the momentum terms also equaled zero and therefore dropped out of the governing equations.  The analyses accounted for conservation of energy.


I could give a crap aout your CT angle.

According to 240 Hurricane Katrina and the Giants victory over the patriots in the super bowl two years ago was an inside job also. Apparently the Bush administration became so emboldened after 911, they figured it was time to really show the American people who was boss. Right now Bush's weather machine has the north east snowed in. He did it on purpose so all the stockbrokers on Wall Street miss work and the markets plummet further. Very unpatriotic- he should be trying to help the new administration.

MACH 1...um...Don't you think you are EXAGGERATING WAAAAAAY TOO MUCH?? Mach one is about 750+ MPH the plane was traveling at 450 according to the scientist and FAA. A far cry from MACH !. Nonetheless I will agree that a plane crashing into the building, which it was designed to handle multiple times over, will NOT cause it to fall down. And since plane fuel DOES NOT explode it would not have caused those fireballs. Also enough people rushing out of the building spoke of explosions happening all over the building...even the firemen spoke of avalanches of explosions racing through the building.

MACH 1...um...Don't you think you are EXAGGERATING WAAAAAAY TOO MUCH?? Mach one is about 750+ MPH the plane was traveling at 450 according to the scientist and FAA. A far cry from MACH !. Nonetheless I will agree that a plane crashing into the building, which it was designed to handle multiple times over, will NOT cause it to fall down. And since plane fuel DOES NOT explode it would not have caused those fireballs. Also enough people rushing out of the building spoke of explosions happening all over the building...even the firemen spoke of avalanches of explosions racing through the building.

Cruise speed of a 757 is 530mile=0.8Mach, I assume it was going full throttle and diving into the building.
I don't know the exact speed it hit the building but I remember hearing close to Mach 1 for the one that hit the Pentagon.

Don't you know a Patriot Missile hit the Pentagon

The 737 that hit the WTC was going 450 MPH according to the FAA and investigators

Mach is a term used to describe jet fighter speeds...NOT COMMERCIAL AIRLINERS which cruise in the 400 to 500 MPH range...again a far cry from the 750+ MPH needed for MACH !

It was down to 400 mph, having just done a 270 degree turn and descent and cruising less than 20 feet amove ground level.

Mach 1 at sea level = 761.2 mph


You're a physicist, huh?  ;)

You guys are so looned up    lol

Patriot missiles hitting the pentagon?   HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA


What did you expect something like what a toy airplane looks like when you stick it half way in a cake?

Planes are basically like empty glass eggs filled with gas.  WTF you think will happen if you throw it at a wall and ignite it?

I see.

And when Rummy said to CNN that we shot down the plane over Penn, was "shot down" code for something else too?  ;)

LOL more 240 spin rummy never said "I think all of us have a sense if we imagine the kind of world we would face if the people who bombed the mess hall in Mosul, or the people who did the bombing in Spain, or the people who attacked the United States in New York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania and attacked the Pentagon, the people who cut off peoples' heads on television to intimidate"

How you get we out of that im not sure

and as far as the 2nd clip LOL again  ::) you read what you want to read in to it bro to me he meant the plane was a missle.

Didnt we hear the black box from that plane? did that forge that? didnt numerous ppl get phone calls from loved ones on that plane that corraborates the official story?

tony, you have your take on things, and I have mine.

I share the sentiment of the 911 commissioners, sarah palin, obama, and many others that we need a second investigation.

The two of us spending hours debating it on a message board is kinda lame.  People believe what they want on that topic.  A black box did come out on the pentagon, and i thought the flight data showed it mathematically didn't drop below 180 feet. 

it's irrelevant, anyway.  You tell me the govt and mainstream media (nbc and obama) spits lies 24/7 in 2009, yet the govt and media (bush and nbc) told us the truth about things in 2001.   I gotcha.... ???

Go eat a sandwich and enjoy your night homie.  You have a lot of anger.  you shoulda been here 3 or 4 years ago when it was all the rage to debate 911 topics.  Now, there are plenty of resources, analysis, info and disinfo out there.  You have hundreds of military ppl calling it a big lie.  They know more than either of us, and they're hurting their reputations by standing up against the story. 

So anyway, enjoy your evening tony.  we're just wasting time debating a historical event that happened almost a decade ago.  what's the point?

yawn.  you were the one repeatedly asking me for videos.

you may have noticed i rarely chime into 911 threads, until some cawklover says "240 thinks aliens had sex with WTC7" or some other ignorant shit.

I couldnt have asked for a vid if you hadnt made a comment in a arguement you yourself believe is pointless.

LOL wtf? rarely everyfuking day you say something about 9/11

Well like you said its pointless to argue about it so just let it go then

Priceless....the uneducated that hangs to half truths and full lies is complaining about others.

Can you please recap the evolution of the WTC theories? It started with the towers that couldn't be destroyed due to the crash, continued to molten lava and aliens farting on the foundations then the WTC7 was the main subject......I wonder what will be the next stage....I'm guessing that have something to do with Obama paycheck equations since you don't believe in Newton kinematic equations  :-\

Wasn't first time ever,  I showed you pics from a building in Tehran that was hit by a C-130, something you always chose to ignore a couple years ago when we were arguing this.  Couldn't see any of the plane.  But the building was intact.   We even posted a video of a f-4 slamming into a concrete wall and show it vaporizing.

Typical CT nut-Job-bery ignoring other evidence.

It's not "must have" anything, and "911 commissioner"?  You build whole theories on gaffes?    A news reporter said the same thing:  It looked like a cruise missile.  And he later explained and said it was a mis speak as he was describing the plane and how it angle its trajectory like a cruise missile.


THEY ARE ALL IN ON IT!     WE ARE JUST PAWNS IN AN EVIL ORGANIZATIONS PLANS FOR WORLD DOMINATION!   IT MUST BE THE MASONS!


Are we going to start showing those gay ass you tube vids now pt together by rookie final cut jockeys with there tear jerking dramatic music?

I entertain many ideas.   I like to think about what it would feel like to experience a few of the Victoria Secret girls holding a D s'ing contest, with me as the judge. 

Why are you deferring from the question via attempts at comedy? At one point did you consider the possibility that the planes that hit the WTC towers were holograms?

Your problem is you want SO MUCH to believe it's an inside job that you will jump for idiocy to idiocy.

That is not to say a second investigation is or isn't warranted; it's just that your continued flip flopping on so many political topics weakens your position.
