Disclaimer duly noted. I'm going to go down to GZ on Saturday and conduct some field tests for you, get some hard data. All in the name of science, of course. That's it. Science.

Well, that is very kind of you, jhunter! Thank you so much for your kind assistance and for doing your part to advance science in this very important endeavor. You are truly a gentleman and soon to be a scholar

So many things wrong I don't know where to begin...

Nothing is to scale
It's missing the floor trusses - the most critical element of the official story!

Yes, pretty bizarre, isn't it? The "core" stands freely without support. The perimeter stands freely without support. Both of them shoved into concrete in a milk jug.

And this lunatic at DU probably really thinks that she's being all "mathey and sciencey" or sumfink Talk about seriously deluded - wow.

She's going to douse it with kerosene and light it on fire and note that it doesn't melt...not that anyone claims that was what brought the towers down.

 

[Mince]

This is hilarious and indicates just how little many CTs know about physics and building performance.

Hell, why not go all the way and fly

into her building.

You know how you can tell it's not a gag? Because none of us would devote hours to that effort. It's a little more intelligent than the guy who made the WTC out of paper, but not much.

If you ever get to see the movie "RV", then remember this...

These guys, the people doing this insane "reconstructions" remind me of the two hicks that try to fix Robin Williams Sewage Disposal in the movie...trust me, when you watch it, you will know I am right.

A new experiment, but not by Ace this time.

You would think the ability of the inner and outer structures to stand on their own would be the first hint...

And doesn't it need 110+ little concrete and steel floors attached at the edges to the tube structure? It's is, after all, the falling of these floors that caused the collapse. If there weren't 10 or so (or however many) floors above the impact and fire, the towers would still be standing (i.e, the top floor had burned in stead of the 80-something-th in one and 90-something-th in the other).

I'm waiting for some moron to try and build the towers out of these.

Looks good to me!! They just have to figure out which to build with and which to snack on while they build - should keep them occupied for an hour or two.

Pictures! We got Pictures!

This exercise in confirmation bias is brought to you by "Screw 9/11 Mysteries - The Clunkity Clunk Edition," now available on BitTorrent and Google Video. Remember, it takes 47 muscles to frown, but only 4 to reach up and slap someone on the side of the head.

I was halfway expecting some of those pictures with captions like: "Oh, the humanity!"

I wish I had the time, I could probably make a better experiment than his

Actually I think its a she. I don't have an account over at DU (in the past they would have considered me a freeper) But someone should post a question to her about how she did the math to scale the towers. As it stands what she built has no relevance to the towers at all. It is like comparing a hobos wire trash bin filled with burning garbage to the twin towers.

I think to really simulate the fragility of the towers TO SCALE, the model would have to be so fragile that laying your hand on it would crush a couple of floors, at least. You have to consider what would happen if a 1,000-foot-tall person did the same thing to the real towers.

You have to remember that the forces acting against it are to scale, too.

My thoughts exactly. Like the fire, if it was supposed to be "to scale", shouldn't it be a lot hotter?

Note: I am not a structural engineer.

That's what was interesting about the recent "Mythbusters" episode where they tried to see if the aluminum and iron oxide in the paint of the Hindenburgh could have produced a thermite reaction. Surprisingly, a small-scale experiment showed no thermite reaction, but a larger scale experiment with a miniature dirigible did. I expected the fire to be no hotter (at least not significantly hotter) just because there was more material to burn (well, and hydrogen, which isn't supposed to be that volotile), but that was obviously wrong.

Extrapolation is tricky, so I try to avoid it whenever possible...

Heat, not temperature was their problem.
There is a difference. Somewhat akin to the level of water in a lake as opposed to water flow in a river
