Free-falling from WTC heights
The towers were 1350 and 1360 feet tall. So let's start by using our
trusty free-fall equation to see how long it should take an object to
free-fall from the towers' former height.
Distance = 1/2 x Gravity x Time(squared)
or
Time(squared) = (2 x Distance) / Gravity
Time(squared) = 2710 / 32 = 84.7
Time = 9.2
So our equation tells us that it will take 9.2 seconds to free-fall to
the ground from the towers' former height. Using the simple equation,
V = GT, we can see that at 9.2 seconds, in order to reach the ground
in 9.2 seconds, the free-falling object's velocity must be about 295
ft/sec, which is just over 200 mph.
But that can only occur in a vacuum.
Okay -- so where are the "energy levels simple kinetic forces cannot
foster"?
And where are these "molten steel" artifacts you lay claim to?
And can you show that the "molten steel" wasn't due to the fire's heat?
You've stacked a lot of numbers, which is good -- but you haven't
really shown anything. If you have a point, try to get to it.
Where's the money-quote from the designer - or even original owners -
that stated this was a disposable building & their biz plan
anticipated the investment would be past it's shelf-life by the
beginning of this millennia?
Have you paid no attention at all to architectural design in the last
half century? Pick up a magazine on the topic. I'll not burden myself
with trying to educate you further.
