Ah, I should have specified it as wind-induced harmonic resonance.

coffee-black....Be sure to mention the fact that in both towers, the perimeter columns on one of the faces (the East Face in WTC2 and the South Face in WTC1) were photographed as bowing inward at the impact zone for some time BEFORE each respective collapse. This is transparent evidence of structural fatigue. The collapse began when those bowing columns failed and the upper block of each tower tilted in the direction towards the failed columns (i.e. to the east in the case of WTC2 and to the south in the case of WTC1). There are some videos that show the columns bending until they snapped.

I have said it before and I will say it again, I hope that this WAS a conspiracy, otherwise the GREATEST power on earth is truly a maze of bumbling fools and they have their finger on nuclear weapons...

after spending trillions of dollars on weaponary for decades the US has NO defenses against attack? really? the pentagon is a sitting duck? really?

there are NO fighter planes able to scramble into a defense of the capitol city of this country? really?

I hope the cluster f#ck that we were told was the official version, really was not true.

I also hope that our president, after being told that the NATION IS UNDER ATTACK..would not actually sit with his thumb up his @$$ for seven minutes... and continue reading a childrens story.

hey coffee black a good question to ask ....what happened to WTC 7??

The WTC buildings were not traditional high-rise construction. In traditional high-rise design, the inner core provides lateral stability and regularly spaced columns throughout the structure provide vertical support.

The lack of these was IMHO the really cool thing about the WTC buildings. A lattice of 59 steel tubular supports on 39 inch centers per side provided lateral stability as well as vertical support. Trussed concrete floors bridged the 60 foot gap and connected the outer structure to the CFST inner core. Taken together this system was very strong, but the two support schemes were interdependent. IOW the WTC towers were not like the Seagram building where the facade could be removed. These towers were a larger scale adaptation of the IBM building in Seattle where the floor trusses connect directly to the load bearing facade This made the collapse predictable.

The impact of the plane severed dozens of columns in the facade and severly damaged the CFST columns in the core. The resultant fire weaked the trusses and caused whole floors to sag, pulling the outer facade inwards. (This can clearly be seen in Leolaia's pictures.) The actual collapse commenced when the trusses pulled away from the facade entirely and one entire floor fell onto the one below.

interesting pics Leolaia

but wheres the one with bin laden's face in the smoke.

that was a clincher

Here'a what happens when a jet plane going over 500 miles an hour hits a "solid wall" of concrete.

The walls in the tower were not solid, and the planes were able to penetrate deep into the structure. Once the buildings came down, most of everything including the planes, were crushed in the collapse, and was unrecognizable.

And keep in mind that the empire state building was a completely different design, built of granite blocks and steel girders. Plus, the plane was traveling at half the speed of the jets that hit the towers.

The article in the link from leolaia was pretty informative. One weak part in it is about bidg. 7. There have been intense fires in many, many skyscrapers over the years. Never has a skyscraper collapsed from just fire (the article says it was intense fire that brought it down. No planes flew into bldg 7, no jet fuel was added to bldg 7. It was just standing there on fire one minute, then it fell, in the same exact manner that the toweras fell (to my untrained eye.)

To those of you who insulted me above, basically calling me dumb, I see this is more of an emotional issue than a scientific one. So to funkyderek I say, Fuck you condescending prick. I'll leave my reponse to that.

The F4 Phantom crashing into concrete is well worth watching.

Funkydereck -seems somebody does not like your logic
