Did you not notice I included Joules values ?If you like I can teach you how to change joules to what the energy would be like in TNT, or gasoline, etc.
You suggest adding *math and physics*, then complain about correct use of terms as *trying to make it look more like science*. Awesome.But go ahead, try to make it look more like science, try to fool people.
Good. You want the *math and physics*. You're a pilot/test pilot refueller/engineer/aircraft crash investigator and have been each of those for over 30 years each, so of course you'll be more than comfortable with energy values in Joules. The kids are. It's cool.Oh yes, 4e9 J says so much!
As I said AE911T-like hype inducing terms. It was like a mini-nuke going off...Shock + Awe.I don't think joules gets the impact of what happen
Pulverised in mid-air.
Same story, different name.
Incorrect.Wrong again, you failed to read the reports.
Where ? (including evidence, not speculation)The impacts dislodged fire insulation
Incorrect. The impact KE was a number of times above design.The impacts did 7 and 11 times more damage than the design impact.
Who said it wasn't ? It weight a few pounds, and afterwards it went boom(ish).you need to remember the jet fuel is part of the impacts
Ever heard a suggestion from NIST that if there were no fires the buildings would have stood...? Come on beachnut, oh what a tangled web you weave...Go ahead explain why the impacts did not doom the WTC towers. Make my year.
Ever noticed that after the impact the building was, you know, upright for quite a while ?
Cool. Where then ? (Yes, I've read the report. Is that all you are basing your view upon ? We'd have to start a new thread to go into detail on NISTs methods to determine such data)we can extreme very well based on the energy of impact how much damage was done.
10 years and you never bothered to check, simply repeating the same incorrect figure over and over again ?You are using NIST? This is funny.
I took the fuel at takeoff and did some pilot stuff, and came up with 10,000 gallons, 66,000 pounds of jet fuel.
Inumerable copy and pastes from my site where these numbers are posted clearly and you never bothered to actually read any of it that didn't serve your purpose to try and find some kind of personal attack juice ? Awesome.
The source info is in the report. Seems fine. Won't be 100% but much more accurate than your spectacular 10,000gazallions. Go check it...it's only 10 years on. Plenty time to update your information. You're not still a 500000ton tower guy are you ?I don't understand how you can use NIST stuff as your source, you did not check it like I did? Darn, now you love NIST.
