Nope. I want better examples than say dominoes. The Readers may have noticed that a single falling domiono may have triggered the cascade but the action is for the rest is all horizontal.

The momentum amd energy of 1 domino is enough to accelerate 4 million dominos and give each one the same momentum?? Urrr...

The Readers may have noticed that a falling (hint: faling! hint!) domino is under the influence of gravity, and that in fact all 4 million falling dominos are in fact falling - as in "being pulled down by gravity".

Or do you have another candidate force?

Bill, you do know that the top 10% did not crush the bottom 90%, but merely the floor below it, right? If you do not think this is the case, please suggest an alternative to how the towers collapsed.

I refer you to an answer I gave the gentleman before..

'' If 10% of an item can crush the lower and stronger 90% of the same structure by gravity alone then you will surely be able to show the readers other examples of this happening. Choose any example from the recorded history of this planet ''

'' I don't mind whether your example shows the top 10% picking up material or not.''

We will get to hpow the towers were brought down in due course.

Nevermind that you did not answer that the top 10% of floors only crushed the single floor below it...

No. Now. How were the towers brought down?

Each domino is essentially a battery. The energy you expend raising each one against the force of gravity is released when it tips over.

The same goes with the WTC. Every kilowatt of electricity and gallon of gasoline used by the cranes during construction and the elevators moving stuff into the building was stored for thirty years until it was released in a matter of seconds.

You'll find it was a huge amount of energy when you add it all up.

Readers understand very well what I mean:

In a verinage demolition, one intermediate story has its structural elements removed by force, sending the top stories falling on the story below, and triggering an avalanching collapse all the way down to the ground.

In the twin towers, one intermediate story had its structural elements removed by force, sending the top stories falling on the story below, and triggering an avalanching collapse all the way down to the ground.


Only difference really is the force applied to the failing story. In one case, it's cranes, pulleys or explosives, at the twin towers it was airplanes and fires.

Suppose the building had been 500 stories tall. One and a quarter miles or so. Would the top 20 floors or so have crushed the rest down flat onto the ground ?

No. But the top 20 floors would have crushed the 480th floor. Then the top 20 + 1 floors would have crushed the 479th floor. Etcetera etcetera...

Yes. Except for the "flat". The rubble pile would be even higher.
