1. A Boeing 767 travelling at 590 mph has more energy than a Boeing 757 travelling at 530 mph. (Bigger plane – more mass, higher speed, therefore more kinetic energy). Also reinforced concrete and steel can sustain greater impact than glass and steel. How come the 757 plowed through more than 235 feet of concrete and steel (Pentagon) and the 767 couldn’t even go through 208 feet of glass and steel (WTC tower 2)?
2. A 1368 foot tall building with 110 floors (approx 12.44 ft per floor) takes 96.9 seconds to collapse under the “pancaking” or “progressive collapse” theory. The WTC towers took close to 10 seconds. 9.25 seconds is the free fall time from the top of the towers. So what force accelerated the collapse of the towers?
3. Gravity on the earth’s surface is a unidirectional force : DOWNWARDS. Why are there plumes and projectiles going sideways and upwards in the videos of the WTC collapse?
Don’t merely cry “conspiracy theory”. Provide scientific reasoning.
There are many more. But let’s start with these 3.
INFTCCO, I asked for SCIENTIFIC explanations, not your out-of-the-ass opinion. Which part of that didn’t you understand?
I am not implying anything. I have studied science and I have noticed anomalies, although I am neither the first one nor the only one. There are many prominent members of our society who have the same questions as well. I just want scientific explanations, preferably from the conservatives, to explain away these anomalies.
I have put some numbers out there based on calculations. Any explanation without adequate calculation will be deemed invalid. Science is all about numbers. So cut out the crap.
Leogirl, you don’t seem to have any understanding of science and I will not grace your uneducated response with a comment, except that I didn’t skip science classes, I have an engineering degree. Thanks for asking.
Danny, the time calculated for an object to fall a certain distance has little to do with its mass, size or shape, unless the drag caused by air is comparable to the weight of the body (terminal velocity case). And you also didn’t get the last question it seems. There was NO resultant force to start with that can move something upward. You cannot create something from nothing. If things moved upward, WHAT created that force? Do you know the meaning of RESULTANT.
I will not comment on any more answers. Please, if you don’t have a basic understanding of science, don’t try to answer my question.
