Trojan Nuclear Cooling Tower Implosion — Over the weekend they blew up a cooling tower and took a lot of movies of the explosion. Nice. But does anyone think this looks a little familiar? WTC 7 for example?

“for crying out loud. you’ve heard of gravity, yes?”
http://www.911blimp.net/prf_FreeFallPhysics.shtml
Just to quote from that website as well:
“In order for the tower to have collapsed “gravitationally”, as we’ve been told over and over again, in the observed duration, one or more of the following zany-sounding conditions must have been met:
* The undamaged floors below the impact zone offered zero resistance to the collapse
* The glass and concrete spontaneously disintegrated without any expenditure of energy
* On 9/11, gravity was much stronger than gravity
* On 9/11, energy was not conserved
However, none of these physics-violating conditions can be accounted for by the official government conspiracy theory of 9/11, nor by any of the subsequent analyses designed to prop up the official theory of 9/11.”
Hmmmm…..
dD, there is a lot of conjecture in there. There is still no real evidence of it being demolition charges. Just because there was a security drill or two doesn’t mean that someone brought in thirty workers to plant explosives on dozens, if not hundreds, of support columns. It wouldn’t have taken a couple of nights to complete. It would have taken several weeks of long, hard, twelve hour days to pull that off. And to have it go unnoticed and subsequently unreported by security guards, janitors, and tenants alike would be unimaginable.
Just imagine if an entire floor was rented out and construction crews labored for weeks to install demolition charges. Don’t you think someone would have asked “who’s moving in downstairs?” or “what is with all the racket you guys are making down there?” And wouldn’t there be records of who rented the space out? The whole floor would have had to be empty and devoid of tenants to keep it a secret. If that has been covered up, then this conspiracy story has a remote chance of being credible. I have heard nothing to support this.
As for the building falling too fast, I don’t buy it. A human being, being will reach a terminal velocity at around 140 MPH. A piece of steel or concrete can fall much, much faster before it reaches terminal velocity. Heck, iron bombs dropped from altitude are traveling at near supersonic speeds by the time they hit the ground.
A concrete and steel structure 1300 feet tall will NOT reach terminal velocity in that distance. It is still accelerating at that point. Without reaching terminal velocity, the noted website calculates 200 mph and 9.2 seconds for the towers to hit the ground. Even with “resistance” from the other floors (which was minimal considering the immense momentum, mass, and buckling supports for the lower floors as the exterior structural walls split open like a banana), 10 seconds sounds about right.
Gravity worked on 9/11 just as it works every other day. I, for one, see no gravity anomaly here and no reason (or proof) for wild speculation on demolition charges.
DB, your wailing here is getting hard on my ears.

Correct Answer: None of the above.
The suggestion that the cause could only be one of these four is evidence of the closed mind prevalent in the 911 conspiracy crowd. It would appear that none of your sources understand engineering principles OR how the WTC was constructed. In fact, how most tall building are constructed today.
The core of the building carries most of the weight with a smaller amount carried in the outside walls. When the planes hit, they crashed into the center of the structures, destroying the insulation around the support beams. As the heat from burning kerosene would not be high enough, the additional heat from carpets, paper, desks, computers, etc were the catalyst that raised enough heat to weaken the supports. When the first supports started to give that moved the weight over to the surrounding supports which quickly overcame their design loads. Pictures of the first tower falling show the top tilting slightly as the building collapsed.
As the weight overcame the strength of each support, the whole floor collapsed. With the speed of the floor falling in, the air and any debris were forced out the only way possible, through the windows to the outside. As each floor collapsed, this sent a shock-wave through the core of the building which was grounded in the bedrock. This massive vibration further weakened a damaged WTC7 which also fell. When WTC7 fell, it was the opposite of WTC 1&2 which fell from the top down. WTC7 has its foundation damaged which caused it to fall from the bottom up.
The true answer to the posed question is: the weight of the floors above while falling, had more kinetic energy then the floor below could hold.
Now I understand you are having a difficult time understanding the Laws of Physics. They are, however, much easier to understand then the weird, but false, conspiracy theories. And crying “The sky is falling” is not brave, noble, or any other honorific.
these firemen tell a pretty interesting story, what could have cause that do you suppose? Electrics? No way…

Aren’t you afraid? You cannot believe that 9/11 was an inside job because to do so it to shatter your dream world. You need someone to protect you. You need government to protect you. How can you possibly believe that your own government may have been involved? Where would you stand? You have never stood on your own two feet. You have been held up by beliefs. You can’t believe the 9/11 conspiracy because to do would bring you down just like the towers. You need security. You want to remain standing so you deny what is true. Your mind is in denial. You wouldn’t believe it if the president held a news conference and admitted it was an inside job. You STILL wouldn’t believe the truth.
Ahhh, so my stats *weren’t* wrong when they said I was getting traffic from dvorak.org/blog 😉
See you on TWiT.
I am relieved I found your current http://www.dvorak.org/blog/2006/05/22/trojan-nuclear-cooling-tower-implosion/ by way of a link on tweets. The usual articles I uncover are gibberish although as well as for when I’m wrong.
