gyroscope

54. Its still standing

...a day after the fire was put out.



again, where is the collapse?

it doesn't even look like a steel-frame building. I don't see any exposed steel columns. a short building with only 5 or 6 floors doesn't need to be built with a steel frame anyway. it looks like a pretty flimsy structure, and yet it still stands after being gutted on all floors by an all-consuming fire.

Exploding? zappaman Aug 2014 #1
Do you know of a building gyroscope Aug 2014 #3
Do you know of a building William Seger Aug 2014 #36
From what I read gyroscope Aug 2014 #39
what? superbeachnut Aug 2014 #40
Really? gyroscope Aug 2014 #41
No 47-story building has ever been CD'ed, by any method William Seger Aug 2014 #43
The NIST findings can not be trusted cuz...BUSH! zappaman Aug 2014 #44
Cool story bro gyroscope Aug 2014 #45
911 truth lies and says little fires, 911 truth fails on fire superbeachnut Aug 2014 #46
It might collapse? lol gyroscope Aug 2014 #47
"minor office fire" cpwm17 Aug 2014 #48
Once again gyroscope Aug 2014 #49
Now you are back-tracking cpwm17 Aug 2014 #50
Whoops. zappaman Aug 2014 #51
Uhh...where's the collapse? gyroscope Aug 2014 #52
Watch the video. A large section of the building collapsed from the fire alone. n/t cpwm17 Aug 2014 #53
Its still standing gyroscope Aug 2014 #54
If you refuse to watch the video, I can't help you. n/t cpwm17 Aug 2014 #55
Watching the video zappaman Aug 2014 #56
That's true cpwm17 Aug 2014 #57
And yet the building still stands gyroscope Aug 2014 #58
All wrong of course FBaggins Aug 2014 #60
You should do a little studying! zappaman Aug 2014 #61
I don't think so gyroscope Aug 2014 #62
several stories? wildbilln864 Aug 2014 #75
Here's another view and a before picture cpwm17 Aug 2014 #74
was this building sabbat hunter Aug 2014 #93
Wow William Seger Aug 2014 #59
But, but, but, I thought you CT'ers IronGate Aug 2014 #2
wrong again! wildbilln864 Aug 2014 #4
Ok. IronGate Aug 2014 #5
here, educate yourself! wildbilln864 Aug 2014 #6
Of course it free fell, with the help of all the floors above where the planes hit. IronGate Aug 2014 #7
more nonsense from... wildbilln864 Aug 2014 #8
Ok. IronGate Aug 2014 #9
Speed and rate of collapse gyroscope Aug 2014 #10
It was meant to look like the planes caused the collapses but it failed! wildbilln864 Aug 2014 #11
Interesting theory gyroscope Aug 2014 #12
.... IronGate Aug 2014 #34
'It was meant to look like the planes caused the collapses but it failed!" zappaman Aug 2014 #25
Now the Pennsylvania plane was possibly shot down? IronGate Aug 2014 #33
If you think that the speed of collapse is too fast... AZCat Aug 2014 #13
Duration would be zero seconds gyroscope Aug 2014 #14
Have you done any calculations to check your claims? AZCat Aug 2014 #15
For every action...an equal and opposite reaction gyroscope Aug 2014 #16
The resistance doesn't apply quite in the way you seem to think. AZCat Aug 2014 #17
Neglected gravity? gyroscope Aug 2014 #18
I was referring to your claim about "equal and opposite reactions". AZCat Aug 2014 #19
That's not just my 'claim' gyroscope Aug 2014 #20
I'm quite familiar with it. AZCat Aug 2014 #21
Asking for a real world example gyroscope Aug 2014 #22
No, that's not a strawman. AZCat Aug 2014 #23
And you consider yourself gyroscope Aug 2014 #26
you'll be waiting quite a while! n/t wildbilln864 Aug 2014 #29
Yup gyroscope Aug 2014 #63
Again you fail to understand some fundamentals of physics and engineering. AZCat Aug 2014 #76
Here on DU I'm an anonymous internet poster, just like the rest of us. AZCat Aug 2014 #35
Yes you are mistaken gyroscope Aug 2014 #38
Yep, that's the same description where you made the errors. AZCat Aug 2014 #42
I'm still waiting for you to identify your obvious, elementary errors. AZCat Aug 2014 #78
"I'm not the one, however, making mistakes about fundamental physics concepts." Yes you are! wildbilln864 Aug 2014 #65
Thankfully Bill I am well aware of fundamental physics concepts. AZCat Aug 2014 #77
well you believe that I'm sure. wildbilln864 Aug 2014 #79
I understand we will continue to disagree. AZCat Aug 2014 #80
oh man thats a hoot! wildbilln864 Aug 2014 #82
Again with the same mistake. AZCat Aug 2014 #83
well let's see. there's your "calculations".... wildbilln864 Aug 2014 #84
That's not the mistake I pointed out. AZCat Aug 2014 #85
over two thousand that are on record. wildbilln864 Aug 2014 #87
There are over 2 million engineers in the US zappaman Aug 2014 #88
how many of those registered architects... wildbilln864 Aug 2014 #91
How many scientists have vocally endorsed gravity? zappaman Aug 2014 #92
why so few superbeachnut Aug 2014 #89
It doesn't matter how many you have if their arguments are not valid. AZCat Aug 2014 #90
And if you're counting engineers like "missing jolt" Szamboti in that number... AZCat Aug 2014 #86
the symmetry claim means you don't understand what symmetry is superbeachnut Aug 2014 #81
I thought the towers fell into their own footprints? cpwm17 Aug 2014 #24
you thought? wildbilln864 Aug 2014 #30
Obviously you didn't understand my obvious sarcasm cpwm17 Aug 2014 #31
but I did! n/t wildbilln864 Aug 2014 #32
