Building 7

[William Seger]

52. "That didn't happen on 911" ?!?

> The first object is slowed down from the impact due to the energy needed to overcome the inertia in the second object! That didn't happen on 911. They went down and never slowed.

Uh, yes they did. One of your heroes, David Chandler, says the building only fell at 64% of free-fall. That other 36% is the slowing down that you claim didn't happen. Why only 36%? It's unfortunate that Chandler is too clueless about structures that he can't figure that out: It's because it only took milliseconds to buckle columns or rip floors away from columns, after which the debris took on the velocity required by the conservation of momentum (which you only pretend to understand), and then continued at free-fall to the next floor. The collapses were "near free-fall" because they mostly were free-fall! In his ignorance, Chandler imagines that a "natural" collapse should happen slowly, for some completely unexplained reason. A "science nerd" should be able to figure that out. The kicker is that you and Chandler completely ignore that in an actual controlled demolition, after the charges have gone off and started the collapse, gravity alone brings down buildings at that same rate, for that same reason. Like most "truthers" Chandler makes claims based on personal incredulity, which in turn are based on willful ignorance. And you refuse to examine those claims rationally, for no apparent reason other than you like his "conclusions."
