re: Explain what caused the towers to collspse.

In 1945 an Air Force B-25 flew into the Empire State Building in the fog causing a fire.
Yet it stands today.
Weird huh?
A B-25 weighs 20,000 lbs and has a max speed of 300 mph. A 757 weighs 130,000 lbs empty and has a max speed of 600 mph. Force equals mass times acceleration.
Edit: Actually, the planes that hit towers 1 and 2 were 767s. They have an empty weight of 176,000 lbs and max speed of 558 mph.

Jet fuel has a set btu content. The amount doesnt matter. The fact is there is not enough btus in kerosene/gasoline to cause inches of steel to fail. It just cant happen.

Explosive force of an airliner structurally messing things up for starters. But what really did it was the long burning jet fuel fire that didn’t melt, but weakened the steep support beams. Once one floor went… it was a chain reaction and the building pancaked down onto itself. I’m no fan of the Feds and love a good conspiracy theory but the towers fell on their own without explosives secretly installed before. I’m just laughing at people that think the airliners were holograms.
This was me for the past 20 years but now I think 3000 lives was nothing when you consider how many millions the govt murdered withholding IVM and HCQ while still mandating a social experiment injection that is killing & leaving people with debilitating adverse events.

B-17 fuel capacity =2000 gallons
B-767 fuel capacity = 24,000 gallons
Dumbass.

This thread is like the NextDoor App around New Years. Guaranteed neighbor fights over dogs and fireworks. This is cut from the same cloth.
No Revelations will come from this thread.
I hope one day we do indeed find out everything. Saudi Arabia sure got off easy on this one :cough:

So 24,000 gallons burns hotter than 2,000 gallons dumbass?

Lot of other things were burning at the time of collapse, no?

So, you know the acceleration of both the planes?
Posted on 9/11/22 at 9:29 pm to flyingtexastiger
Amount is a non factor, its the heat content of the source. Dont be dumb.
Posted on 9/11/22 at 9:29 pm to Y.A. Tittle
Yes just like other things were burning as well in the ESB no?
What's your point?
Get me to the temperature that weakens steel I beams and we will discuss it further.

Why don’t they just make the planes out of the steel beams?

That's "capacity". Were they at full capacity ?

Look at what hail, geese, and lightening do to planes and tell me how they can take down an engineering marvel of our time...lol
Posted on 9/11/22 at 9:31 pm to GWM
It doesn't matter lol they're clueless
Posted on 9/11/22 at 9:31 pm to Y.A. Tittle
Office chairs? Do you realize the amount of energy/heat a welder/torch needs to manipulate steel? Office furniture is not gonna do it.

They were reportedly pretty close, weren’t they?

Let me explain physics to you dumbass.
The B-767 hit the building that weighed/massed conservatively 3-4 times as much traveling 3-4 times faster carrying 12 x as much flammable liquid.
Go out in your backyard with your fricking gas can and your angle iron and experiment.
Dumbass

Airplanes flying into them probably didn’t help.
No airplanes hit the third building.

Airplane flys into building
Beams at point of contact are compromised and fire resistant material blown off.
Jet fuel is ignited and burns everything on those floors
The middle structure of building, where most of the weight is distributed acts like a furnace.
Doesn’t get hot enough to “melt” beams, but they are severely compromised.
Building design of weight distribution pulls the beams inward…results in demolition type destruction.
