LOL. Get your money back for your education.

Another debunker with empty words to use. This is getting boring. Not one of you cares to discuss Chris Mohr's pivot/leveraging of the north wall theory as he describes in video 18. You'd rather twist people's logic and words.

It's quite pathetic.
 
I said the structural principle of a tree being broken is the same as that for a building. Both work under the influence of gravity. Both are subject to rotation if support shifts to one side of COG else is in place to stop that rotation. Both will fall straight downward if you remove full support completely and quickly.

Or do you think trees are influenced by another force other than gravity?

Look up CoG. Really, you are embarrassing yourself.
 
:crazy:

Well, at least now you're comparing buildings. Still an epic fail though.

That building was made from concrete...

That building wasn't even 1/2 the size of 7 WTC....

That building fell for a totally different reason.....

etc..etc..etc.....

So what, one of your brigade suggested a building can't fall on its side like a tree so I proved them wrong.

The structural principle of that building is still the same as WTC7. Both were framed buildings which is why it stayed intact....because framed buildings do that in natural collapses.

WTC7 ended up as a pile of rubble so of course everything was on its side - it was in pieces. The single unit (as NIST described it) was no longer intact. Had it been, then it wouldn't have fallen downward would it?

That much is pretty obvious, yes. So, at the end of the collapse, all the fragments of WTC7 lay on their side, at 90º to their original orientation, as you predict for a natural collapse.

The problem for you is that you know a natural collapse will result in rotation ending at 90 degrees (when a vertical structure lies on its side having once been stood) yet because WTC7 didn't (rotating no more than a few degrees for the entire 610ft drop), you have to claim the piles of walls and debris lying horizontally on the ground is proof it did rotate by 90 degrees.

Ah, I think I'm beginning to see exactly how insane your argument is. Are you claiming that, had WTC7's collapse been natural, then the building would have finished up lying on its side as a single block, with one wall supported above the other by the lateral members in the structure?

If you aren't claiming that, then you haven't identified any way in which the collapse of WTC7 differed from a natural collapse, so you have nothing to offer. If you are claiming that, then you're claiming that the structure of WTC7 was sufficiently strong that the floor girders must have been capable of not only supporting the entire weight of one wall, but also the transient loads imposed by the movement of that wall throughout the collapse, even though there was no conceivable reason to design in any such capability. Now, how could I best describe that claim?

This really IS laughable!

Yes, that'll do.

So, should a natural collapse have ended up with a heap of rubble, all elements lying on their side? Or should it have ended up with a substantially intact block of building lying on its side? Or, perhaps, something else?

And if your answer is "I don't know what it should have looked like," how can you say that it didn't look the way it should have?

ETA: Whoah. You really do believe that a 47-storey lightweight steel-framed tube-in-tube building with long span floor girders should have behaved exactly the same in a collapse as a conservatively engineered, concrete framed 13-storey apartment block.

I was right. You were swindled by your architecture school. I think you should sue them, and cite this thread in evidence.

There is a difference between a tree and a building? Can you spot what it is?

To answer your first point, the building is in bits. Those bits were on their side. Look at any demolition or natural collapse and you'll see plenty if not all of the bits on their sides. It doesn't prove one of the other.

For your second assumption...no, I am not saying the tower would have ended up as a complete block on its side. It might have done, it might not. Part of the building could have fallen down to leave some standing, it may have rotated onto its side and be broken to pieces, who knows with a natural collapse.

BUT, it wouldn't all have fallen downward as a single unit with minimal rotation as the unit dropped had it been natural. That is what I am saying.

As opposed to buildings with no frames?
 
Seriously?
A tree is a solid object. A building is not. This is how you fit people inside the building.

LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL

This is great. This is what I said when I replied to Desbelief about her use of the tree analogy. And now here you are saying it back to me as if you're the wise and mighty one.

You debunkers are god awful useless. I expect these silly one liners from my young kids; at least they can think for themselves.

All he's been asking all along (and you refuse to answer) is , how much is this "minimal rotation"? It is key in your definition of "natural" but you refuse to explain how you reached whatever number you come up with.

GET IT?

Then why are you comparing a steel-framed building to a tree??? YOU are the one who used the tree analogy!

The buildings were MUCH closely related to a Jinga tower or a house of cards than a tree
