Gravity defying buildings? :D

Can a building defy gravity?


Truthers: "Yes"

Myriad: "Yes"

911 Chewy Defense: "No"


Anyone else feel like climbing off the fence?

I'm taking your argument to its logical conclusion. If nothing on Earth can defy gravity, how can the ground floor of a building support the first floor?

Wow.And you wonder why people laugh at you?
 
Nothing defies the force of gravity in Geological time...

Is fire a geological event?

:P

How can gravity be the cause of a building collapse when the same gravity is acting on millions of buildings that don't collapse?

Buildings do not collapse because they have a structure designed to support external forces acting on it.

But if something cause some critical failures in the structure, the building can collapse (due the gravity).

Actually, the only cause for the collapse of a building is just the force of gravity.

The cause of a natural collapse is the gravity.

The cause of a controlled demolition collapse is the gravity too.

Can you direct me to any investigations into building collapses where the investigators conclude that the cause of collapse was gravity?

In Trutherland, a 47 storey steel-framed building fell to the ground in 6.5s. Does that sound like a place where there's no gravity?

What are you rabbiting on about then? Jeez,you are slow on the uptake.

The building up to the roofline measured 47 storeys, and the roofline took around 6.5s to fall to the ground, timed from the first sign of movement of the roofline.

So you meant to say a part of the collapse took 6.5 seconds not the whole thing.
