Gravity defying buildings? :D

[bardamu]

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

I meant to say that people who go out of their way to point out that 47 storeys fell in 6.5 seconds are not denying gravity, which is the topic of this thread.

47 storeys did not fall in 6.5 seconds, it took more than sixteen seconds for it all to come down.

Where did the thread's creator go? Did he bite off more than he could chew? Has he been instructed to lie low while damage limitation is implemented?

Does the no-planer/space-beamer think he's scored points somewhere?

He does,and that is deliciously funny.

Even two JREFers were embarrassed into telling some truth.

So I ask our resident Truthers: Can a building defy gravity?

All buildings defy gravity, for as long as they remain standing.

It's a silly question - any answer fits.

Does the space-beamer realize if his magic death star existed there would be no need for wars for oil?

How is this "embarrassed"? All building do in fact defy gravity until they fall down (be it by natural or unnatural causes). The OP (granted) is stupid but, WTF are you talking about?

Maybe Hanna Barbera was trying to tell us something.

I wonder if bardamu and his ilk will still be sitting in front of a computer in thirty years time,still typing nonsense on obscure internet sites,saying that the big revelation is just around the corner.Sad.

In order for a building to achieve free fall, it must be going 120 mph.

So a sky diver that just jumps out the door of a flying airplane is not at that moment in free fall?

ftfy, Chewy.

Actually, terminal velocity for an object depends on weight, size and shape.

Like most of the things in this thread - it depends on how you define the terminology.

Can a building defy gravity?


Truthers: "Yes"

Myriad: "Yes"

911 Chewy Defense: "No"


Anyone else feel like climbing off the fence?

Re-read Myriad's answer again, which clears things up.

All buildings defy gravity, for as long as they remain standing. But, gravity never stops acting on them. So when something happens to a building that sufficiently compromises its ability to continue to defy gravity, it falls down.
The problem with some Truthers is that the only thing they can imagine that would compromise a building's ability to continue to defy gravity is explosive demolition. This is kind of like claiming that because the normal function of people's legs is to allow them to stand upright against gravity, any time a person falls down it must mean someone has cut their legs off.

Respectfully,
Myriad

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

Newtons Law! Go read something about gravity from Issac Newton.

Unlike you, I do have a life outside the internet.

The only reason why I made this thread is for dumb Truthers to take the bait, & 1 did.

You probably meant Isaac Newton. Totally different author.

Right!

That's the one! I was close on the "Isaac" name.
