I've been busy... It's crunch time in the flight project I'm leading, I'm negotiating a construction project with the City, and I just got back from my brother-in-law's wedding. Oh, and in my spare time, I'm trying to put together an analysis of scientific interest for the WTC 7 report. Sorry if I've been hard to get hold of.
Also, to all posters here, regarding Mr.
TONS of STEEL and
TONS of CONCRETE, we've discussed his absurdly simple objection in several pages here already, and I've already has his comments split from this thread once. I will request a second split if there is any further attempt to derail. Please do not continue to encourage him.

Did Ted Olson receive calls from his wife Barbra Olsen? According to Mr Olson he received two phone calls from his wife who was aboard Flight 77 (the plane that hit the Pentagon).
In various interviews, Olson himself has changed his story from she rang on an airphone to from her cell phone. Often these were interviews shown the same day.
[...]
So did Ted Olson lie about receiving phone calls from his wife? And why were such contradictions not investigated, but allowed to be included in The Official 9/11 Report?
As noted above, Ted Olsen did receive phone calls from his wife, though apparently not cell phone calls. This distinction would be pretty minor from his perspective, so he was apparently mistaken or misquoted with respect to the precise type of data link used. I fail to see any relevance to this distinction.
heres my question. are you going to do the rational thing and concede that your explanation is wrong?
Why would I concede something that hasn't been shown to be true?
the problem with this explanation is that the freight elevator only climbed approximately 17 floors so the unignited fuel could not have fallen with elevator car 50.
from testimony we can establish that the first basement explosion occured below car 50 and before it reached B1 therefore for your suggestion to be possible the unignited jet fuel must have passed car 50 at some point in time but given that liquid droplets of jet fuel have presumably the same max velocity as a rain drop (9m/s) whatever exploded below car 50 and before it reached B1 could not have been unignited jet fuel because unignited jet fuel falling roughly 340m at 9m/s above could not POSSIBLY have caught up with a free falling evlevator let alone manage to pass it.
are you going to do the rational thing and abandon your unignited jet fuel hypothesis - which by the way - is not the official explanation?
We've discussed this to death in the other thread. Your counter-argument rests on the unsupported assumption that the maximum falling speed of liquid -- in this case, jet fuel -- is 9 meters per second. This simply isn't true.
R. Mackey,
I'd like to know how you arrive at 4.0G in your calculation which was used to
prove the aircraft could negotiate the landscape and obstacles around the
Pentagon.
Sorry, I don't have a link to your diagram at the moment.
You will find those calculations
here.
You've posted in that thread in the past.
Where in the data do you see trends of a parabolic curve, or figures near 4 Gs?
There is no reason we should. The pull-up occurs after the end of the FDR record. Since the aircraft was not flown so roughly in the past, and the terrorists only pulled up before impact once, we in fact do not expect to see a similar maneuver in the previous data.
I also must remind you that the 4.0
g case is the most extreme of all reasonable cases. The actual expected pull-up is as low as a mere 1.62
g of loading. If we had the actual FDR data of the event, I would expect to see the pull-up force oscillating with an average of between 1.62 and about 2.0
g. You only need 4.0 if you insist the aircraft was several hundred feet above the VDOT radio mast, rather than passing beside it or just barely clearing it, and there is no evidence that this is what happened.
