That obviously did not happen, and even it had, it wouldn't explain
the sudden and total disintegration of the massive central core
structures.


Twin Towers:
The massive reserve strength designed into the steel frames of
the towers could not possibly have been overcome by the force
of gravity alone. The fact that it was exceeded to such an
extreme degree that the undamaged steel frame offered no
measurable resistance, proves conclusively that the lower
structures were destroyed before being impacted by the upper
structures.

From:

"The Twin Towers and Why They Fell
It would help to begin with an accurate description of the WTC towers
in terms of quality of design and construction. In July of 1971, the
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) presented a national award
judging the buildings to be "the engineering project that demonstrates
the greatest engineering skills and represents the greatest
contribution to engineering progress and mankind."3 Others noted that
"the World Trade Center towers would have an inherent capacity to
resist unforeseen calamities." This capacity stemmed from the use of
special high-strength steels. In particular, the perimeter columns
were designed with tremendous reserve strength whereby "live loads on
these columns can be increased more than 2,000% before failure occurs.

More on the incredible strength of the towers can be found here:

http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/design.html

"There is evidence that the Twin Towers were designed with an even
greater measure of reserve strength than typical large buildings.
According to the calculations of engineers who worked on the Towers'
design, all the columns on one side of a Tower could be cut, as well
as the two corners and some of the columns on each adjacent side, and
the building would still be strong enough to withstand a
100-mile-per-hour wind. 3"

The massive steel frames of the towers were far too strong to
collapse only under their own weight. That's been proved through
physics, and that's why no other steel framed buildings have ever
collapsed that way unless they were demolished. See Gordon Ross'
research paper on momentum transfer here:

http://www.journalof911studies.com/articles/Journal_5_PTransferRoss.pdf

As common sense would dictate, even if all the perimeter and
core columns near the top of the tower were somehow destroyed
simultaneously so that the top 20 stories or so dropped onto the
remaining undamaged frame, after some bending and compression,
the collapse would have stopped, or the upper block would have
fallen off to the side. Gordon Ross proves that with physics.

The official conspiracy requires us to believe that falling
directly =through= the massive undamaged steel frames, including
the 47 interconnected central core columns:

http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/arch/core.html

provided little more resistance than air. This is proved by
the fact that debris falling outside the towers hit the ground
about the same time as the debris falling through the towers.
Making the government's conspiracy theory even more implausible,
is the fact that the steel at the top of the towers was over
ten times lighter and thinner than the undamaged steel in the
lower section. Look at the massive core column cross section in
the bottom photo.

http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/arch/core.html

The official conspiracy theory says that crushing 47 of those
columns, all interconnected with even more steel, =and= destroying
all the perimeter columns, =and= "pancaking" all the floors, and
stairways, produced about the same kinetic friction as falling
though air. That, of course, is not physically possible.

Observe the rotating and disintegrating block on the South
Tower.

http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/evidence/photos/wtc2exp4.html

Notice that the corners are curved, as the block's internal
destruction is already taking place. If it had not been destroyed
through demolition, it would have continued to rotate and fall off
the building as an intact block. Also, notice that the block is
tilting towards the corner where it was impacted. The opposite
corner was undamaged by impact or fire, as proved by photo
evidence.

http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/evidence/photos/wtc2exp1.html

As the top section of that tower is rotating, the high strength,
fire resistant perimeter columns on one side of the building are
being compressed, and on the opposite side, where the building
was not damaged by fire or impact, the weight above them is greatly
reduced.
Why do you think the undamaged steel perimeter frame with reduced
weight above it is exploding and collapsing at the same rate as
the fire and impact damaged side that has most of the weight of the
rotating block on it? Seems more than a little odd, doesn't it? Here's
some information on the perimeter columns.

Wrong. Truss assemblies were tested by Underwriters Laboratories under
extreme conditions and did not fail. As always, here's hard irrefutable
proof.

Not in the context in which it was made, which is what you just
insisted that I show. The context of that statement was wrt the
forces which caused the as yet undamaged portion of the lower
structure to fail. You knew that. And the statement itself proves
this with "due to its interaction with the lower section of the
building". IOW, the context was during the time interval of the
crash of that upper block into the lower support structure.

And, in THAT context, the statement is wrong. During the crash, the
force being exerted on the lower structure AND the upper block was
(d/dt)mv of the upper block.

Now, if you want to lie about context being important, or if, once
again, you're going to try to blur your mistake by claiming that a
falling body isn't crashing, then that statement is inherently
incorrect because it says that the falling body is interacting with
the stationary lower structure.

In the context of the time interval in which the falling block is
interacting with the lower, stationary support structure, the
relevant force was the reaction of the lower support structure to
(d/dt)mv of the upper block. This has been explained to you in
painstaking detail very often now, and you alternately agree with
it, and then show confusion about it. Try to focus.

See the above, but I find it very humorous that you would now
finally learn that any analysis of what caused the lower structure
to fail, and how long to would take that upper block to finally hit
the ground would be complex. After all, it was your contention that
a very simple analysis, which, BTW, would exclude the very factor
which that analysis was intended to answer (i.e., the resistance of
the support structure), would do the trick. :-)

Even your whacko report authors say it did. Even they say that the
upper block collided with the lower support structure. Are they

LOL! then what was all that junk that it took months to clear away

Of course it can.

But your authors measured the resistance. So were they wrong?

So which of these contradicting reports do you believe? The one
wherein the resistance was measured, or this one?

F=(d/dt)mv.
