I guess not only the moron Gage but also C7, do not recognise sarcasm.
I've never seen a truther who did.
As with similies.
Christopher7, learnt about those allready?

That just means that they were unable to model to collapses all the way down. It would have taken way too much work and computing power. They explanation they gave is just fine. Once the collapses started, there is no way in hell they could have been stopped. Skyscrapers aren't designed to withstand millions of pounds crashing down upon them. Do you even know what the explanation for collapse initiation is? Can you refute it (hint: no you can't).
Yep, he is wanted for a few terrorist acts. Wanted.Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorist attacks throughout the world.
Does the world include NYC?Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorist attacks throughout the world.
But Bazant did it - calculation of initiation + crush down - on the back on an envelope and got it published two days after 911, i.e. 913! Pretty good. But Bazant got it wrong! Skyscrapers and similar steel structures are pretty strong. Drop the top part - floor 98 and up - of WTC1 on floor 97 and the result will be a fair amount of damages to floors 97 and 98 and probably also floors 96 and 99. But that's it. Just local damages. Easy to show with real structural damage analysis. Pity that NIST didn't do it but relied on Bazant.

I have a better idea. Our MSM could tell the American people that the FBI has not charged Bin Laden with 9/11 because there is no hard evidence connecting him to 9/11.

The FBI has NOT charged Osama Bin Laden with 9/11 because there is NO hard evidence connecting him to 9/11. http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorists/terbinladen.htm
The hijackers left NO paper trail, no mention of any aspect of the 9/11 plot.

Have you come to grips with the fact that you believe a "Conspiracy Theory" ?There was a dolt at a forum that said UBL was innocent on 911. He was too stupid, too challenged to understand the FBI says he is a suspect on 911.
Yep, he is wanted for a few terrorist acts. Wanted.
I bet he is considered a suspect on 911.
Bet he is a suspect instead of WANTED because his guys are dead! 19 dead terrorists can't talk! The other terrorist acts he is wanted on left a trail of alive guys who got caught.
See how neat it is, if you kill your guys who can tell on you, you are just a suspect.
But when you blow up stuff and leave alive guys who helped you do it and those live guys tell on you, you are WANTED!
So 911 was the best scam UBL could run, kill all the primaries and not one of them can tell on you. Great idea. Atta, what do we do tomorrow? Atta, say we do it again! The terrorists are as dumb as 911Truth who apologizes for the terrorists.
Bet UBL edited any stuff linking him to 911 out of the video wills!
UBL isn’t dumb, he was coy at first then said he helped after he knew he was safe! If we catch UBL, he will take credit big time;
Is there reliable or hard evidence of this?Oh my, KSM plotted the 9/11 attacks and Osama gave him his blessings.
Correct, it just means that you believe a "Conspiracy Theory"Just because there is no HARD evidence to link Osama to 9/11, doesn't mean he is innocent. And just because he is NOT wanted for 9/11 doesn't mean he is not wanted at all or that the FBI is not investigating his role any further.
No they have not! You didn't read the statement right or follow the link to the document.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST] did NOT explain the collapse of the Trade Towers. They stopped at collapse initiation.
Pg 3 "NIST carried its analysis to the point where the buildings reached global instability."
Pg 4 "As we mentioned previously, we are unable to provide a full explanation- of the total collapse."

I saw this stupid statement at another web site. Some idiot was spewing some statement and trying to connect it to some deranged conspiracy theory.The hijackers left no paper trail of the plot for 911.
Wow, the hijackers did not have to write down the complicated plot for 911!The hijackers left no paper trail of the plot for 911.
Source?I am telling you right here that NIST have supplied an explanation for collapse propogation after initiation.
sourceThey admitted to Jones, Ryan and Gage on 9-27-07 that they did not demonstrate how the towers collapsed because the dog ate their computer. [or something like that]
"NIST carried its analysis to the point where the buildings reached global instability. At this point, because of the magnitude of deflections and the numbers of failures occurring, the computer models are not able to converge on a solution."
"As we mentioned previously, we are unable to provide a full explanation- of the total collapse."

NIST December FAQ's said:1. Was there enough gravitational energy present in the World Trade Center Towers to cause the collapse of the intact floors below the impact floors? Why was the collapse of WTC 1 and 2 not arrested by the intact structure below the floors where columns first began to buckle?
Yes, there was more than enough gravitational load to cause the collapse of the floors below the level of collapse initiation in both WTC Towers. The vertical capacity of the connections supporting an intact floor below the level of collapse was adequate to carry the load of 11 additional floors if the load was applied gradually and 6 additional floors if the load was applied suddenly (as was the case). Since the number of floors above the approximate floor of collapse initiation exceeded six in each WTC Tower (12 and 29 floors, respectively), the floors below the level of collapse initiation were unable to resist the suddenly applied gravitational load from the upper floors of the buildings. Details of this finding are provided below:
Consider a typical floor immediately below the level of collapse initiation and conservatively assume that the floor is still supported on all columns (i.e., the columns below the intact floor did not buckle or peel-off due to the failure of the columns above). Consider further the truss seat connections between the primary floor trusses and the exterior wall columns or core columns. The individual connection capacities ranged from 94,000 lb to 395,000 lb, with a total vertical load capacity for the connections on a typical floor of 29,000,000 lb (See Section 5.2.4 of NIST NCSTAR 1-6C). The total floor area outside the core was approximately 31,000 ft2, and the average load on a floor under service conditions on September 11, 2001 was 80 lb/ft2. Thus, the total vertical load on a floor outside the core can be estimated by multiplying the floor area (31,000 ft2) by the gravitational load (80 lb/ft2), which yields 2,500,000 lb (this is a conservative load estimate since it ignores the weight contribution of the heavier mechanical floors at the top of each WTC Tower). By dividing the total vertical connection capacity (29,000,000 lb) of a floor by the total vertical load applied to the connections (2,500,000 lb), the number of floors that can be supported by an intact floor is calculated to be a total of 12 floors or 11 additional floors.
This simplified and conservative analysis indicates that the floor connections could have carried only a maximum of about 11 additional floors if the load from these floors were applied statically. Even this number is (conservatively) high, since the load from above the collapsing floor is being applied suddenly. Since the dynamic amplification factor for a suddenly applied load is 2, an intact floor below the level of collapse initiation could not have supported more than six floors. Since the number of floors above the level where the collapse initiated, exceeded 6 for both towers (12 for WTC 1 and 29 for WTC 2), neither tower could have arrested the progression of collapse once collapse initiated. In reality, the highest intact floor was about three (WTC 2) to six (WTC 1) floors below the level of collapse initiation. Thus, more than the 12 to 29 floors reported above actually loaded the intact floor suddenly.
Then explain why the floors would have resisted.
