I don't discuss the rate of fall. But menton of the higgh rate of fall, whatever it is happens to be integral to the thread becase that is what we are trying to feasibly explain.
Rates of fall are one thing, how they are created is another. A building with a single story could be blown up and the rate of fall would not be an issue due to elevation because the visual explosion would rule.
Christophera said:The C4 is not encapsulated in a slurry form. I feel that C4 would not detonate in that form. A slurry is created from CC4, the rebar dipped in it and then hung to dry. Once the excess solvent has evaporated, returning it to viable explosive form, it is then cast into concrete.
I learned of the process from a magazine article published in the early 1970's which described how navy seal divers discovered and used the process without orders to stay off the bottom using a jack hammer knocking a hole in a sub base wall that engineers were trying to keep secret by not putting on the first set of plans.
They were caught setting off ordinanace without orders, gave up their information to an investigating officer who then handed it to explosives engineers who then developed it into a widespread construction method for self destruct sub bases and missle silos.
OKGuys - please stop replying to him.
I always have to get steel to like 2750F to make it melt, bending is not easy under 1500F. I cook chicken with wood at 600F, but it burns, so I cut off the air and smoke/bake at 500F.
There were a few places that got around 600-800F in the towers but not much more and that was probably not at all widespread. The coverage of heat to get steel hot enough to bend is really an issue. Bending tubing requires about 270 degress around it getting near cherry red.
On the towers we had 14 inch tempered steel columns 22 inches C to C and getting enough heat to 3 sides on any column to loose significant strength would not be likely. Realize that the top of the columns at each floor is where the majority of the heat will end up. Which makes the issue of the top of WTC 1 falling south a real mystery if collapse is proposed because about 1/2 of the columns on the north side were severed meaning the top should have fallen north, but it fell south.
steel is born in heat thereore it loses strengtth in heat.
Excuse me.
You didn't provide a feasible explanation for free fall, or near free fall.
and what you are doing is trying to dissmiis the only comprehensive explanation in existence.
Meaning your credibility is trashed from the beginning as far as your intentions.
You haven't provided any proof whatsoever of your assertion that no explosive will last past 20 years. You have not shown that a foot of concrete is NOT a better seal against evaporaton and oxidization,
You haven't provided any proof that C4 cannot be solvented by acetone or another chemical. It is logical that a plastic explosive can be cut, rebar dipped in a sluury then the sovent allowed to evaporate to the original consistency then cast in concrete and preserved.
Where as the assertion that such is possible is logical
Your issue of 3 inch rebar has alread been proven wrong by this image of 3" REBAR ON 4' CENTERS.
I have just posted 200% more evidence than you have in defense of the only existing credible explanation for what happened to the towers on 9-11.
This thread is not about saying NO, to feasible explanations it is about producing one and collapse just is not credible.

The shelf life is based on the package life. Concrete lasts longer than cellophane.

I understand the answer completely; however, what was the question?
Why does it say the last post is by jsfisher, but I find Alfred's drivel instead?
ETA: some forum software/hardware screwup I guess. I blame Darat.
Oh my f----ng bob.
You just revealed how stupid you really are.
So if the shelf life of a loaf of bread wrapped in cellophane is one week, but I wrap it in steel mesh, it'll last longer?
Are you that ignorant
You've revealed your idiocy, Chris. Vaya con dios.

When are you going to reply to this, Christophera?
Don't forget to bring raw evidence!
No, I don't believe every reference everywhere could be expunged. Are you telling me that nobody but you have noticed that their data have disappeared.
No concrete core in WTC. Proof has been shown to you over and over!
The only concrete core in this thread is in your head. If you would take the time you have wasted posting on this thread, you could design the WTC and find out why it was strong enough with a steel core!
There are concrete floors, but no concrete cores in the WTC. You are still wrong since you first posted the concrete core. So just to tell you again, there is no core of concrete, wonder when you will figure it out?
Ever tried using several tons of force to bend it?
I cook chicken with wood at 600F, but it burns, so I cut off the air and smoke/bake at 500F.

Common household fires can reach 1500 degrees easily.
You analogy simply exposes your tendancy to "over distort" A foot of concrete will work better than cellophane just like a steel box will..
