Huh?

Just so I can understand, they are saying that 2 seconds of free fall acceleration is proof of a "controlled demolition?" Presumably with silent bombs or magic termites or whatever?
Despite the fact that, for most of the collapse of the Salomon Brothers building, it wasn't falling at free fall acceleration?
And despite the fact that no other controlled demolition can be shown to achieve free fall acceleration?
That's some mighty fine illogic right there. WTC7 mostly didn't accelerate at free fall; therefore it was a controlled demolition. Other controlled demolitions have loud bangs and don't fall at free fall; therefore WTC7 looks "just like" a controlled demolition.
This belief appears to be faith-based.
Miragememories said:" NIST NCSTAR 1A:
"A more detailed analysis of the descent of the north face[WTC7] found three stages: (1) a slow descent with acceleration less than that of gravity that corresponded to the buckling of the exterior columns at the lower floors, (2) a freefall descent over approximately eight stories at gravitational acceleration for approximately 2.25 s"
Mark Loizeaux = WTC7 CD?Huh?
Apparently you are in disagreement with the NIST, and do not believe that a freefall period of global building collapse is possible under any circumstances?
If controlled demolitions are unable to achieve it, then certainly ordinary office cubicle fires can't.
So please explain carlitos, why you disagree with the NIST and why their calculations are so impossible on this point?

Huh?
You swapped CD and Not CD for Jowenko and Louizeax. But we get your point. On the other hand, you aren't going to get anywhere trying to explain Special PleadingWP to MM. He's just trolling and / or doesn't do logic.

Hey Chewy, can you fix the version that you quoted as well pls? If it's not too much trouble.
thx
You have the mendacity to suggest that 8 storys of a building covering city block, could have all of its "lateral bracing for the core columns followed by sudden buckling" removed at the speed of kicking a stool out from under someone?ISTM that the loss of lateral bracing for the core column followed by sudden buckling as shown in this animation is completely reasonable and consistent with how steel is affected by an unfought fire and the nature of the WTC7 fires on 9/11.
Just imagine someone kicking the stool out from under you. You'll be in free-fall, at least for a moment. That's what happened to WTC7.
absolutly.You have the mendacity to suggest that 8 storys of a building covering city block, could have all of its "lateral bracing for the core columns followed by sudden buckling" removed at the speed of kicking a stool out from under someone?
And to top it off, this freefall could be achieved by unfought office cubicle fires but not by controlled demolition?

You can clear it up yourself by answering this simple question:
Is Brent Blanchard an expert in controlled demolition?
We await your answer. No need to consult previous quotes, you can clear it up now. I'll accept your answer as your clear opinion.
If you don't want to offer an opinion, just say so.

".. your attempt to misrepresent the credentials of Blanchard is downright dishonest"
