What? Are you serious?

Let me try to explain this to you; it's pretty straightforward, though.
The numbers I'm going to use, with the exception of the energy transferred, are for illustrative purposes only.

First, let's address the bowling ball nonsense.
When you drop the bowling ball, it becomes a projectile moving downwards.

The amount of energy needed to break through the first level will scrub some of the speed off and because the bowling ball remains the same weight the amount of energy available to break through the second layer is diminished.

( kinetic energy is calculated as half the mass (\(m\)) times the velocity (\(v\)) squared )

Which means that there will be less energy available to break through the next level.
That's why the bowling ball stops after a short distance, but that's not the case with the World Trade Center.


Let's say that each floor of the World Trade Center weighed 1 million pounds. That means that if there were 10 floors above the initial failure, that would be a 10-million-pound projectile moving downwards at, let's say, 5 feet per second.

That means when the projectile hits the next floor, the amount of energy transferred will be 2.89 million foot-pounds of energy.

No steel beam on the planet can handle that amount of force without giving way. When it does, it adds its weight to the projectile.

So, every floor that collapses increases the weight of the projectile by 1 million pounds, which increases the amount of energy available to break through the next barrier, which the bowling ball does not do.

And because there's more mass available for gravity to work on, the speed will increase.

So, after ten more floors, you now have a 20 million pound projectile moving downwards at, let's say, 15 ft per second that will give you 69.9 million foot pounds of energy to break through the next barrier.

After 40 floors, you now have a 50-million-pound projectile moving downwards, let's say at 35 feet per second —that's 950 million foot-pounds of energy.

That's why there were sheared beams in the debris.

No, she could make more by saying nice things about Israel. She worked at the DW, she had that opportunity.

Link ?

She picked a topic and used the DW to create the villain role to target that niche. She knows who to grift and that niche

Israel is not her first grift.

Hell, she was moving on from Israel somewhat when she co-opted the "Macron's wife is a man" silliness....until Charlie Kirk was killed.

I don't watch her, but her content is posted on here enough to see.

I also see the responses from NPCs defending her.

Note: I was calling her a grifter long before she was even at DW. Her grifting goes well beyond the topic of Israel, and existed for years prior to her taking up that mantle.
