Creative Speculation

(46 posts)I'm an engineer. You'll excuse me that I find it, um, "amusing" that you think that the cause of collapse of a building is properly determined in a courtroom by a jury of non-structural engineers. Or any group of amateurs.
Subjective things, like "who's your favorite artist?" "What's your favorite music?" "Paper or plastic?" Sure. Everyone gets their own vote.
But structural collapse? I don't think so.
Here's my offer. If you decline, I'll drop it.
The one & only mystery that I see remaining in any discussion of the building performance is the "mystery of the 2.25 seconds (i.e., 8 stories) of free-fall acceleration of WTC7". This is why Gage, Jones, Chandler et al harp on this tiny, irrelevant bit of trivia as "the smoking gun" of 9/11.
What if I could explain to you, in about one relatively short post, exactly why:
1) their acceleration assertion is wrong,
2) what was the real acceleration of the roof of the building,
and (most important)
3) exactly why the upper block fell at NEAR-G acceleration over that distance.
And I could do so in simple, easy-to-understand English.
Would that be of any interest to you?
