RE: 9/11 - Results From An Informal Steemit Survey -Does Steemit Believe The US Government Was Involved?
it wasn't just the fires, it was the fires and the impact damage in all three cases.
it wasn't just the fires, it was the fires and the impact damage in all three cases.
Then why did the center columns, undamaged by the debris and isolated fires, the first to collapse?
the center columns were damaged by the impact
@lostinthesauce is being off topic willing or unwillingly.
The columns cannot have fall onto themselves due to the fires like the video are showing.
What he said doesn't disprove what I said. I think most people can understand.
Whether or not @lostinthesauce can understand all of this, I don't know and is out of our control.
what are you talking about, columns falling onto themselves? i never said that.
I know you haven't said that, it's me who said that.
What you are saying implies that according to you the steel beam from the 3 towers have fallen unto themselves or in their own footprint due to the fires in the towers, except simple laws of physics make this impossible.
No. Because of the pancaking floors, the two main towers fell mainly vertical. You can see this in the experiment I mentioned earlier.
In fact, the design of those buildings is exactly why they fell like that. According to physics, we would expect them to collapse no other way.
WTC 7 had a large hole in the top middle from debris from the other towers. That caused it to collapse inward toward that hole, when the fires weakened the steel. If the hole had been in the side of WTC 7, it probably would have toppled as you suggest.
