Gravity defying buildings? :D

Removing the scaffolding is a convenient metaphor representing completion of the building. As it happens, according to 9/11 Chewy Defense, no multi-storey building could ever be completed. The ground floor would be crushed as gravity sends the first floor to the ground.

So we still have no answer to the question: if a building can't defy gravity, why do the vast majority of buildings not collapse?

The answer is right above that first silly post of yours:

I think of buildings always wanting to fall down. It's the engineers that stop them from doing so :)

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

lol... you understand this was a truther trap?


When fire destroys the building's support.

According to me, you're putting words in my mouth which I never said. Kind of like what you're doing with the quotes from witnesses & the 9/11 Families, isn't that right Bard?

Ask a structural engineer why can't a building defy gravity. They'll tell you that gravity can't be defied or that explosives weren't used on 9/11.

Q. Can buildings defy fire?

A. Yes. The only tall building in history alleged to have completely collapsed primarily due to fire was WTC 7.

NO, many buildings have been totaled by fire. Is being wrong on all 911 issues a prerequisite for joining 911 truth?

Good question.

Suppose I stack some books in a pile and the pile falls over. I'll probably want to know why the stack collapsed, so that next time I pile some books up, the stack remains upright.

If I decide that the pile of books collapsed because of gravity, I'll have to concede that stacking books is impossible, because I can't alter the law of gravity.

If I work out that the pile of books collapsed because I put the smallest books at the bottom and the biggest ones at the top, I'll be able to learn from my mistake and re-stack the books in a way that results in a more stable stack.

Citing gravity as the cause of a collapse could be a hindrance to preventing further collapses.

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?

der... no one said that.

Elphaba has something to say about this thread!
