Why does Sentinel only speak in riddles?
Ah. I see I made an error. Sentinel is no longer talking about the Airbus, he's talking about the Egypt Air flight. Sorry. The complete report on that is here.
And reading that, it appears the suicidal co-pilot put them into a power-off dive which exceeded the airplane's Mach limit by a goodly amount. Then the captain came into the cockpit, pulled speed brakes and tried to pull out. The FDR stopped recording at around 18000 feet, but primary radar data showed that it climbed from 16000 back up to 26000 feet before its final dive.
It looks to me as though the Egypt Air flight was going faster than the WTC Boeings. 450 kts indicated at 20000 feet would be a TAS of around 610 kts, about 700 mph.
It didn't go supersonic, but the FDR did record a peak of .99 Mach, well over the .86 Mach limit.
So: yet another suicidal pilot, and even more of an overspeed.
However, even after all that, it stayed together well enough to climb back up ten thousand feet. Since the FDR stopped, we don't have data on what happened during its final descent. Did it go faster than the previous descent? Dunno. No data.
All the WTC Boeings had to do was not come apart before impact. Since the Egypt Air Boeing is documented as going faster without coming apart, why would you expect the WTC Boeings to come apart at their lower speed?
Somehow, your argument by random image strategy was working better. I felt like we were communicating on some level. When you translate your argument into the base medium of nonsensical English, it loses some of its mysterious flavor. Try to keep things more abstract. It keeps you happy, because you think you've made a devastating point. It keeps us happy, because we have no idea what you're getting at.Structures: Keyspan Gas Holder No. 1 and Holder No. 2 (formerly known as the Maspeth Holders)
City: Brooklyn, NY (Greenpoint area)
Location: Maspeth Ave. between Morgan Ave. and Vandervooft Ave.
Date & Time: July 15, 2001 - 7:02 am
Implosion Contractor: Controlled Demolition, Inc.
General Contractor: Mercer Wrecking
Height: Almost 400 feet tall each
Explosives: 750 lbs. of shaped charges (375 per holder) and 25 lbs. conventional charges (12.5 per holder)
This implosion of two gigantic gas holders is to date one of the most unusual blasts we've ever seen, and photographically speaking, one of the most challenging.
There aren't many gas holders like these left these days, so getting the chance to see them imploded is a special treat. It is believed that less than a dozen are left in this country. These two holders, built by the Brooklyn Union Gas Company, and now owned by Keyspan Energy, are some of the tallest built in the US. The unusual twist for us is that this dual implosion occured in Brooklyn, NY. Despite our proximity to NYC, this is the first time (that we know of) that a major implosion has occured there in the four years we've been folowing the industry.
Unfortunately, we were faced with some unexpected problems the morning of the blast. The motor drive to our 35mm camera (which allows us to shoot 2 frames per second) was discovered to be missing just hours before the blast. It later turned up in a friend's car, but too late to be of any use to us. What it meant was that I had to advance the film manually, which takes a lot of quick action and coordination during a blast. On top of that, we were so close to the holders (just one block away), that it was impossible to fit both into the camera's view at one time. This meant that halfway through the blast (while manually advancing the film), I had to swivel the tripod, lining up a new view for the second holder.
In the end, our photos came out well and the blast was a success. In fact it was one of the most enjoyable we've ever been to, given the unusual nature of the blast, the close proximity we were viewing it from, and the deafening roar of the explosive charges as they ripped apart tons of steel.

Isaac came forward and said, that "many other firemen know there were bombs in the buildings, but they're afraid for their jobs to admit it because the 'higher-ups' forbid discussion of this fact."

I provided the truth.
If you're still a moron thats on you.
Circumstantial evidence is permisable in a court of law.
You being licenced by the City Of New York should know that.

You've provided ample circumstantial evidence, all right: that you're a crackpot. I feel bad for you, Paul. You are delusional. Please get help.I provided the truth.
