North Tower Acceleration [View all] wildbilln864 Dec 2011 OP
Chandler is an idiot William Seger Dec 2011 #1
aw, shit OnTheOtherHand Dec 2011 #2
you must have been up too late also wildbilln864 Dec 2011 #4
because I posted at 10:11 AM?! OnTheOtherHand Dec 2011 #6
More or less William Seger Dec 2011 #7
the mind reels OnTheOtherHand Dec 2011 #8
up late there william? wildbilln864 Dec 2011 #3
Here's what's wrong with it: William Seger Dec 2011 #5
Try this analogy cpwm17 Dec 2011 #9
damn that's funny there! wildbilln864 Dec 2011 #10
so you have no rebuttal whatsoever? OnTheOtherHand Dec 2011 #11
no need for me to rebut nonsense! wildbilln864 Dec 2011 #12
No it isn't in the videos William Seger Dec 2011 #13
Sure it is! wildbilln864 Dec 2011 #14
so you're demanding that we should take your word for it? OnTheOtherHand Dec 2011 #15
I demanded nothing! wildbilln864 Dec 2011 #17
oh, that's a fair point OnTheOtherHand Dec 2011 #18
"can't/won't see" what? William Seger Dec 2011 #16
You think David Chandler sounds intelligent cpwm17 Dec 2011 #33
Good video! It's certain to generate snark and slander and not much else by way of rebuttal. K&R (nt T S Justly Dec 2011 #19
Great post! zappaman Dec 2011 #20
A paragraph break, here and there, would have made it ... T S Justly Dec 2011 #21
really, that's the best you can do? OnTheOtherHand Dec 2011 #22
Post removed Post removed Dec 2011 #27
Lol! An oversight, perhaps? (nt) T S Justly Dec 2011 #28
I'll try to dumb it down for you, then William Seger Dec 2011 #29
Thanks, I think. Lol. But the video still trumps nonsensical Bush Era "science". (nt) T S Justly Dec 2011 #30
I dun seen it on da videos! n/t zappaman Dec 2011 #31
Lol, but yes. The videos have laid waste to Bush and his doctrinaires' output. (nt) T S Justly Dec 2011 #32
I'm sure Chandler appreciates your unconditional support William Seger Dec 2011 #34
Rather, it is I who supports Chandler's video evidence of NIST/Commission fraud ... T S Justly Dec 2011 #35
Most of what we know about 9/11 didn't come from the "Bush administration" William Seger Dec 2011 #36
Most of what we know about 9/11 didn't come from the "Bush administration" - Lol, that is true. (nt) T S Justly Dec 2011 #37
post 5 is just opinion! wildbilln864 Dec 2011 #23
bullshit OnTheOtherHand Dec 2011 #24
he did not impose the line it... wildbilln864 Dec 2011 #25
have you watched Chandler's video? OnTheOtherHand Dec 2011 #26
This message was self-deleted by its author jesters Jan 2012 #38
general reply: jesters Jan 2012 #39
it's certainly more difficult than that OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #40
"The upper portion isn't the only thing that falls." jesters Jan 2012 #42
srsly? OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #47
Expulsion of matter is much greater for larger, taller buildings cpwm17 Jan 2012 #41
"The lower block only slowed down the acceleration of the upper block's mass.... jesters Jan 2012 #43
"Bazant's cartoon model which has largely been discarded by both sides of the debate now" Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #44
"IF IT'S NOT DECELERATING, IT'S NOT EXERTING A FORCE." Really? AZCat Jan 2012 #45
Yes, really. jesters Jan 2012 #48
I don't think you responded to my concern. AZCat Jan 2012 #49
AZCat says: jesters Jan 2012 #50
moving the goalposts? OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #51
OnTheOtherHand's post is correct - you still haven't supported your claim. AZCat Jan 2012 #52
What a cop out. jesters Jan 2012 #53
I don't see the problem with you providing a properly labelled free body diagram Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #54
Maybe. jesters Jan 2012 #55
You "maybe" can provide one. Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #58
"Bazant Zhou shows that the upper section would have had ~31 times the energy necessary jesters Jan 2012 #59
You seriously are not understanding what Bazant-Zhou is doing. Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #60
Absolute B.S. jesters Jan 2012 #67
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. William Seger Jan 2012 #73
"Bazant's analysis IS an energy argument" ... jesters Jan 2012 #75
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. William Seger Jan 2012 #77
"Analysis of Inelastic Energy Dissipation" -- is that a clue? OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #86
Yup, that's a clue. The section "Elastic Dynamic Analysis" is a little less obvious, but... William Seger Jan 2012 #89
.. jesters Jan 2012 #90
That has NOT been done William Seger Jan 2012 #122
Some sources, please. jesters Jan 2012 #124
This was discussed extensively on the JREF forum William Seger Jan 2012 #155
yes, understanding the argument requires a bit more reading OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #98
"shown to be wrong by numerous independent analyses, on both sides of the debate." Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #74
30% resistance jesters Jan 2012 #76
Please provide the proof of physical and mathematical impossibility of 30% resistance. AZCat Jan 2012 #79
This resistance of yours to simple requests is strange. Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #80
. jesters Jan 2012 #82
"The calculations have been done by many others." Which you continue to omit to link to. Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #85
Fortunately the lower section can absorb the energy. A miracle of highrise engineering. jesters Jan 2012 #92
saying it, perhaps, but on what basis? OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #93
Just address the points jesters Jan 2012 #94
srsly? OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #97
Has anyone else noticed jesters Jan 2012 #101
No, but I have noticed so-called "truthers" assert amazing things without evidence zappaman Jan 2012 #102
I could compile a list of questions you and gyroscope haven't answered OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #141
"The lower structure can absorb the energy. That's what I've been saying for the last 18 posts." Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #95
That's interesting. jesters Jan 2012 #96
Hmm. No links, no properly labeled free body diagram. Goodbye, jesters. n/t Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #99
Bye bye, Bolo Boffin. jesters Jan 2012 #103
Since the uppers section gained mass and was accelerating as it fell hack89 Jan 2012 #104
Lol. jesters Jan 2012 #105
So explain how it was not gaining mass as it fell nt hack89 Jan 2012 #107
It was crushing up at the same time it was crushing down. jesters Jan 2012 #109
So where did that mass go? hack89 Jan 2012 #113
12 floors in WTC 1 jesters Jan 2012 #119
So the WTC did not collapse in its own footprint? hack89 Jan 2012 #123
Can you provide a model for a debris-driven, jesters Jan 2012 #126
Sure - read the NIST report hack89 Jan 2012 #129
Proof that you really shouldn't be in this thread. jesters Jan 2012 #132
I don't think you want to go there. AZCat Jan 2012 #134
When a poster doesn't even understand that NIST never provided jesters Jan 2012 #138
That's priceless. AZCat Jan 2012 #139
You're right. It's too funny. jesters Jan 2012 #140
"In plain language." AZCat Jan 2012 #142
Part of it is verifying that you know what you're talking about. jesters Jan 2012 #143
This message was self-deleted by its author jesters Jan 2012 #144
"widely known criticisms of Bazant's model." Links, please. n/t Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #145
Really? I don't think I have to prove anything to you. AZCat Jan 2012 #146
Okey doke. jesters Jan 2012 #147
"don't be presenting the Bazant model as if it doesn't have fatal flaws" Links, please. Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #148
Links? jesters Jan 2012 #149
You seem to be confused. Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #150
I would be happy to jesters Jan 2012 #151
"except that you already know about them." Oh, no, you did not. Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #152
I'm with Bolo - where is the refutation of Bazant's model? AZCat Jan 2012 #153
It hardly matters, AZCat, jesters Jan 2012 #156
This message was self-deleted by its author William Seger Jan 2012 #157
From: "Not so clever Trevor" jesters Jan 2012 #158
From Self's response William Seger Jan 2012 #160
Probably because he doesn't do that. jesters Jan 2012 #162
Yes, that's exactly what he does William Seger Jan 2012 #163
Here's the complete context jesters Jan 2012 #168
Bullshit William Seger Jan 2012 #169
I see what you're saying, jesters Jan 2012 #170
No, it seems you don't see what I'm saying William Seger Jan 2012 #171
You're right. I don't see it. jesters Jan 2012 #172
We're finished, dude William Seger Jan 2012 #173
* sniff * jesters Jan 2012 #174
how do you think kinetic energy is dissipated in "momentum loss"? OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #175
Okay I misunderstood about the double entry jesters Jan 2012 #176
it isn't apparent to me that you addressed my question OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #177
I don't know what Ross is factoring in to momentum loss. jesters Jan 2012 #178
Stop it, you're fracturing me William Seger Jan 2012 #179
As I point out in post #176, jesters Jan 2012 #180
after further review, Greening is NOT distinguishing between fracturing and pulverization OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #181
Your post is non-sensical. jesters Jan 2012 #182
wow, tact is so wasted on you OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #183
OTOH off the deep end? jesters Jan 2012 #185
nope, just OTOH over your head, apparently OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #189
No! William Seger Jan 2012 #184
You seem to have completely ignored post #182 jesters Jan 2012 #186
I haven't really followed your complete discusion cpwm17 Jan 2012 #187
You're right! Ross double-counted that energy too! William Seger Jan 2012 #188
just to mention OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #190
With posts 187 and 188, jesters Jan 2012 #191
your swagger is impressive, no doubt OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #192
Post 182 jesters Jan 2012 #193
ROFL OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #194
Post 182 is bullshit William Seger Jan 2012 #195
Are you now reversing what you said in post 188, Seger? jesters Jan 2012 #196
WTF are you yammering about now? William Seger Jan 2012 #197
According to Seger's post 188, jesters Jan 2012 #198
LMFAO! Have you been drinking? William Seger Jan 2012 #199
No, William, you're wrong. :D jesters Jan 2012 #200
Not momentum loss; "momentum losses," Ross' term for the kinetic energy lost William Seger Jan 2012 #201
William Seger, jesters Jan 2012 #203
WTF? William Seger Jan 2012 #205
"Momentum loss is not the same as kinetic energy loss." Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #202
...kinetic energy loss through strain and fracturing. Yes. jesters Jan 2012 #204
That's not an explanation of the difference in your mind between Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #206
often it would be helpful for jesters to define terms OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #207
LOL, what a bullshitter William Seger Jan 2012 #159
And that post by William Seger means? AZCat Jan 2012 #161
Wait. What? Nuclear Unicorn Jan 2012 #154
You are member of a tiny internet fringe group - lets not forget that simple fact hack89 Jan 2012 #135
"intact 80 - 90-storey steel framed highrise" - just popping in to point out Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #128
Bye bye, Bolo Boffin. jesters Jan 2012 #131
I don't understand the part where you failed to support your claim. AZCat Jan 2012 #56
Newton's third law -- apparently deeply perplexing to 9/11 so-called debunkers jesters Jan 2012 #57
Of interest to me is the second law. AZCat Jan 2012 #61
It would help if jesters Jan 2012 #68
It's quite clear to me. AZCat Jan 2012 #69
You took my statement as a universal. jesters Jan 2012 #70
It doesn't matter what we're talking about, it's still wrong. n/t AZCat Jan 2012 #71
No, it isn't. jesters Jan 2012 #72
Apparently you didn't read post #69. AZCat Jan 2012 #78
Lol. jesters Jan 2012 #81
What I've noticed is that post #5 is still sitting there, unanswered. (n/t) William Seger Jan 2012 #83
Well, yeah. AZCat Jan 2012 #88
Then why didn't you say so many posts ago? AZCat Jan 2012 #87
I answered this in posts 48 and 50. jesters Jan 2012 #91
No, you didn't. AZCat Jan 2012 #100
Wow. jesters Jan 2012 #106
It isn't the same thing at all. AZCat Jan 2012 #108
So a hammer can smoothly push a nail into hard wood, AZCat? jesters Jan 2012 #110
You don't get it, do you? AZCat Jan 2012 #111
In two colliding bodies ? jesters Jan 2012 #112
I don't know why you insist on perpetuating this argument. AZCat Jan 2012 #114
AZCat, all it would take is one example to put me in my place jesters Jan 2012 #117
No, I don't think it would do anything of the sort. AZCat Jan 2012 #118
An object resting on another object is the simplest example jesters Jan 2012 #120
A physics "gotcha"? No, you'd have to hand that to the guy who figured it out in the first place. AZCat Jan 2012 #125
Which is what I already stated in posts 48 and 50. jesters Jan 2012 #130
You didn't respond to my questioning of your statement contradicting the second law. AZCat Jan 2012 #133
Yeah. OR, you could have just said jesters Jan 2012 #136
It doesn't matter if the bodies are moving or not, the second law still applies. AZCat Jan 2012 #137
Again: Why Chandler is wrong William Seger Jan 2012 #165
You're talking about processes, jesters Jan 2012 #166
Example: Anything falling through air or water William Seger Jan 2012 #164
Sure, jesters Jan 2012 #167
Perhaps you don't understand the definition of decelerate cpwm17 Jan 2012 #121
It's a pretty common misunderstanding, apparently. AZCat Jan 2012 #127
What happens depends on the relative forces on impact cpwm17 Jan 2012 #62
Wasn't Newton persecuted by the church? gyroscope Jan 2012 #65
No, he wasn't William Seger Jan 2012 #84
Which is why we see debris falling faster than the collapse zone hack89 Jan 2012 #115
Not really. AZCat Jan 2012 #116
You're assuming the buildings had a normal ability to withstand forces after collapse initiations cpwm17 Jan 2012 #63
also, "support" here seems equivocal OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #64
Yes, one could come up with more reasons why the building was guarenteed to collapse once started cpwm17 Jan 2012 #66
I didn't say they fell at free-fall speed cpwm17 Jan 2012 #46
