Invitation to Derek Johnson to discuss his ideas

Well, it appears that Derek has left the building.

... again ...

The conversation got a little too uncomfortable for his taste.

It is evident to me that he realized that he was between a rock & a hard place.

He realized that he could not answer my request for a competent sketch of the forces & moments on Col 79 just before buckling. That the only sketch that he could produce for his "easy critical buckling load analysis" was the completely irrelevant (and analytically incompetent) single beam with simple supports on each end.

He realized that his "Lagrangian dissipation factor" was essentially irrelevant to the argument, and that fact would become obvious as soon as we began to discuss it.

He realized that he could not answer a dozen other questions that people put to him.

So, rather than stick around & face the truth, he decided to take a powder.

Thereby allowing himself to continue to spew lies.

It's amazing how many twoofers claim to be "honestly in search of the truth". But as soon as the truth becomes undeniable, they run away & hide from it.

I fully expect Derek to be off someplace, claiming that he gave us all a good smack-down. I fully expect to come back at some point &, pretending this entire discussion never existed, continue his nonsense.

As soon as he thinks that the heat is off.

Clearly, Derek's religious convictions do not prohibit him from lying thru his teeth.

Nor does his (utterly absent) sense of professional decorum prevent him from accusing other engineers of fraud, incompetence or lying about their credentials.

Someday I expect that this will get him into some serious professional hot water.

If the engineers with whom he works learn of this level of incompetence & unprofessionalism, I predict that he'll become a pariah in short order.

I hope for your sake that the Moderators do not feel that you are skating on Frank Greening style ice T. Not that I personally would grass you up however much you might deserve it.
 
One of the returns said "giving birth to a black bear cub."

I think that I've gotta call "photoshop" on that pic.

As far as I can imagine, there's no place for the bear cub to hibernate in this recent photo ...

Nice! :D
 
Sorry to resurrect this thread but I came across a Youtube video of Derek's old presentation for AE 911 and I became curious about what he's up to nowadays.

After a quick search on Google I discovered Derek is now working overseas in Kuwait and Afghanistan for a company called SAIC, guess what they do?

http://kw.linkedin.com/company/saic?trk=ppro_cprof

SAIC is a FORTUNE 500® scientific, engineering and technology applications company that uses its deep domain knowledge to solve problems of vital importance to the nation and the world, in national security, energy & environment, health, and cybersecurity. The company's approximately 41,000 employees serve customers in the U.S. Department of Defense, the intelligence community, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, other U.S. Government civil agencies and selected commercial markets.

I guess searching for the truth isn't as important as a paycheck from the enemy.

Oh and I wonder if Gage is aware one of his prized signees is now doing work for the evil masterminds responsible for 9/11.

I was torn between posting this in the "Finest Examples of Truther Stupidity", or bumping this thread. How big a bunch of idiots are truthers? Do they read, or even watch, or even look at, the stuff they post as evidence? (They've never noticed that various videos of the collapse of WTC 7 show that there were columns left temporarily standing, a la the "spires" of WTC 1 &2).

Here Mr. Johnson argues that "atomized thermite" caused corrosion on the rooftops of automobiles near GZ. (Go to the 5:43 mark). But Derek, what building is that in the background of the photo you're using? Could it be one of the Twin Towers?:eye-poppi Did the "atomized thermite" corrode the tops of the autos BEFORE it brought down the towers?:rolleyes:

Or could it possibly be that these autos were hit with burning jet fuel and the paint was burned off before the towers fell? Paging William of Ockham!!:D
