Dude, have you even seen a building brought down by explosives?
I doubt that. The maximum operating speed (Vmo/Mmo) is an indicated airspeed and a Mach number. At low altitudes it is an indicated airspeed and it changes to the Mach number at an altitude where the airspeed and Mach number are coincident. The B767 Vmo/Mmo is 360 knots and 0.86M (http://www.smartcockpit.com/download.php?path=docs/&file=B767_Limitations.pdf). These values are coincident at approx 26000’ (use the crossover calculator here). So below 26000’ the maximum speed is 360 knots indicated. At sea level the indicated airspeed is equal to true airspeed so the maximum allowable speed at sea level is 360 knots (414 mph).
HOWEVER! Read on:
Nothing bad happens if you exceed this speed, and it is easy to do. If you are about to slam into a building you’re not going to care about the Vmo and you should be able to exceed the Vmo by a substantial margin before you risk structural failure. In short, aircraft limitations have no bearing on how fast an aircraft might be going in the process of crashing into a building. There was a Bae146 that crashed after the pilots were murdered by a passenger (a disgruntled ex-employee of the company). It is thought to have exceeded the speed of sound when it crashed, despite having a Vmo/Mmo of only 305 knots / 0.72M.
A brainwashed group which includes those experts who actually demolish buildings with explosives for a living. Go figure.
It might help if the thread were titled “Help explain these flashes of light” rather than “Debunk this 9/11 conspiracy theory”. Because now you have people trying to debunk the conspiracy theory. Shocking!
Yes, but good grief - that makes sense. Can’t have that, can we?
Well that was explained. Its caused by a plane hitting an office building.
There’s glass, metal, and lots of of stuff (lights, air conditioners, all sorts of stuff.)
Its just the list of things it could be is too large, and the video not clear enough, that means that it can’t be attributed to any one particular cause.
Doesn’t make much sense when the B767 nose light is attached to the nose gear strut, which is folded away inside the fuselage.
This is just perfect for Halloween: An adherent of a dead faith revives a dead thread so the rest of us can poke at it a bit.
Well, not entirely dead. Conspiracy Theories never truly die, they just enter a permanent twilight state, kept alive by the Renfields of the world, people who typically believe a large number of different CTs and will go on about them at length but who are, of themselves, too marginal to revive any of them.
It never ends. The saving grace is that CTs in the twilight state, the state where only the hardcore CT believers adhere to them, are unlikely to do much damage.
Wait … what … are y’all saying these Saudi ex-patriots hijackers accidentally crashed into the World Trade Center ??? That all four group just happen to hijack all at the same time by coincidence ???
This is conspiracy theory debunking gone to far …
[sigh]
Anyway, my comment is about just how narrow them towers were from the cockpit of an airplane flying at 680 mph … especially for rookie pilots …
That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.
I except it.
That must have been quite a (short-lived) ride. :eek:
Yep.
An explanation of the missing Malasian flight suggested the oxygen bottle blew its cork, so to speak, took off like a rocket, and flooded the electrical equipment room with pure oxygen, caused both a fire and a decompression hole in the side of the aircraft… and left the pilots unaware they had no oxygen and about 30 seconds to deal with the problem and turn around before they passed out. (Some Australian airliner lost its oxygen bottle in a similar way).
Passenger oxygen is chemically generated at each station and has only a 15-minute or so supply. By the time the passengers figured out something was wrong with the pilots, they too would be passed out.
The pilot`s oxygen supply is a larger pressurized bottle in the radio compartment underneath the cockpit. Presumably this is the case for many airliners. Also remember the WTC was a collection of vertical steel beams with a minimal spacing (what, about 5 or 10 feet?) I imagine a compressed pure oxygen bottle hitting a steel beam at 600mph inside a rapidly compressing aluminum container (what seems to be happening in these freeze-frames) would cause a minor flash fire/explosion.
Wait a minute. Ex-patriots…jets…I’m starting to see a pattern here.
Is it true that dolphins were seen swimming just offshore the day the twin towers came down?

Were they African dolphins or European dolphins?
We also have a period of time before the loss of consciousness where the pilots would have lost the ability to think straight. Perhaps instead of setting the transponder to the emergency code, they turned the fool things off. Also, it is common for pilots to have a pre-set in the auto-pilot to the closest available airport, something of a panic button if they get into trouble. So we have a scenario where the last useful thought was to hit the panic button, then the useless thought to turn off transponders; pass out and then die.
Still doesn’t explain who landed the plane in Kazakhstan …
This is quite the zombie thread. About the flash as the 767 hit WTC2 - I thought it was the standard explanation that one large aluminum object hitting a steel object at very high speed would produce lots of immediate heat that would be high enough to give off light. Am I mistaken? I’m surprised by this talk of landing lights and oxygen bottles.
