There was plenty of debris that fell all around, some of it striking other buildings. The majority of the mass, however, fell more or less straight down…gravity being the only major force acting on it.
This is true whether the building was brought down by controlled demolition or as it actually was, due to structural collapse. What’s always puzzled me about the controlled demo people is how they can be shown that the collapse started, quite clearly, from the impact site and propagated downward, yet still think that the building was brought down with magic explosives.
it would be VERY simple for at any given floor for the connections at the core to hold on for just a bit longer than the connections at the outer wall, and therefore form a ramp that material would roll off and by that exit the action, causing the whole thing to stop.
I’m going to go thank some random diety that you have not and will not ever have anything to do with load bearing systems that might involve human life.
I’m not sure what the point of your question is, but for educational reasons I’ll play along. A 767 weighs about 200 tons. Two percent of its mass would be 4 tons. So what happens when a 200 ton object going 800 ft/s hits a four-ton object going zero (sorry for all the non-SI units here, but we’re already pushing his limits)? The mass would slow the airplane down to about 784 ft/s.
I don’t know where you’re getting the 2% number - the steel beams had probably that weight, but there was more that the airplane hit, such as the edges of one or two giant concrete slabs, and office furniture. Even then, there was a whole lot of debris that came out the other side at a high rate of speed.
It would be, if any of the floors were strong enough. But they weren’t, and as more and more debris accumulated, it became more and more impossible.
Skyscrapers are held together by their support columns. They aren’t strong enough to hold up against lateral impact, like a fully loaded airliner smashing into them at 500 mph. So they fail, and then the floors collapse, and the jet fuel sets things on fire, which weakens them further, and more floors collapse, and the whole thing comes crashing down. Down, not sideways.
the why it matters is to demonstrate that even if all you want to consider
is the inertia of the mass to be displaced, there would be a significant jolt
to the airliner something like 100 g, and because there would be decks,
and other impediments involved, the resistance would not be like penetrating
a simple single layer of something but more like having to impact a block of
ballistic jell, and given that, the deceleration would be significant and destructive.
if the theory is that the tail of the airliner would somehow be limited to 10g deceleration while the nose is subjected to 100 g deceleration then something in the middle is going to have to give, whatever is the weak link in the airliner is going to break and at that the airliner would bust up into several large pieces and impact the wall in a chaotic manner.
Why did the US government orchestrate the events of 9/11?
Who were the major players involved in the planning and execution of these events?
What did they have to gain in doing so?
Why do subsequent administrations continue to cover it up?
What evidence exists for the orchestration and the on going cover-up?
Where did you first learn of this?
Has anyone actively encouraged you to promote these ideas?
If so, who or what organization do they represent?
Do you worry that the gov’t might retaliate against you in some way for uncovering ‘the truth’, as you understand it?
jay_jay why did anyone fake this? What are you proposing did happen? You must have some idea, or there is no point of coming here and talking about this.
