wait wait, are you saying steel isn't a type of metal, albeit an alloy? it's Iron and Carbon, and at high temperatures not close to its melting point, steel becomes brittle. do you realize what kind of vibrations it would cause by running something into a structure that is essentially being treated as a rod against a pivot (the ground) at ~500mph? it was a combination of harsh vibrations throughout the system as well as the heat, causing the structure to truly be damaged. I can't even find what a 747 weighs plus full capacity plus fuel, but you don't think that an airplane that size could cause a relatively thin column to split? Not only that, but by the time the second plane hit, you don't think that the steel had been heated enough to reach that brittle point to where the second plane striking would cause such a strong vibration in the area that all the weight on top of the already weakened structure would cause it to fall?
Come on, there's so much even just basic mechanics behind this and it's easy to spot. The video of the plane accusing it of going mach 3 or whatever based on scale is completely false too, because you can't judge the X and Y scales to be the same.
You say steel becomes brittle at high temps. Or it bulges, or it melts. So which is it? And how did that video show me high temps? The kerosene went in. Most went out. It lit on fire. All gone.
Steel from my metal working experience becomes brittle when heated and cooled too quickly. Like tools or swords are cooled slowly in sand.
Yes the plane hitting it would cause some vibrations. People said they felt in other floors. The buildings were so damn strong most people in them did not understand that it was a large jet. And that does not mean it would just topple. How many thousands of times heavier is the building than the plane? The building was made to stand 100 mph winds against the side, then the wind reversing and going the other way.
The planes were small twin engine commuter planes that were made to get lift from thin skinned wings and to be as fuel efficient as possible.
Is the US government switching all it cruise missiles to commuter jet planes? They should because whatever these things hit, they take down. Without one pound of explosives. They take done 50 story buildings next to other buildings that got hit. They kick ass and take names.
And you say this is all basic mechanics, but above you stated these were 747s. They weren't. 747s are huge compared to what hit them. Ever see them sitting next to each other at an airport? These were new 767s, strangely all of them.
And only one plane hit each tower. Not two like you said above.
One small plane hit a huge fricking tower made like no bodies business. The fuel burned up in 5 seconds or so. The office furniture smoldered for a while. The fires were darkening because they were going out. A fireman said he can knock it down with two small lines. Then the buildings collapsed.
That fireman must be like superman to stand in or near a room that must be over 2000 Farenheit.
And someone must really have not wanted to see them put out the fires 20 minutes later. I mean how can a building fall from fire if the fires are out?
Admit it. The people that did this have awesome control over flying objects. They can plant evidence, they have access to the buidlings, and they can monitor radio traffic.
You know who it is.
. Was and ranting.. Just had a picture of a flimsy plane in my mind.
