The slug of fuel model is supposed to prove that the plane could have broken through the wall, which in turn is supposed to prove that the nose out may not have been a cgi. NIST say it's reasonable to suppose that all the fuel was in the inboard tank, whereas Mackey assumes there was fuel in both tanks. We have a discrepancy and it has nothing to do with eyewitnesses.
This thread is about the idiotic nose-out scam by some idiots in the truth movement. Why are you off topic? It is a fact a plane going faster than 200 mph will enter the WTC, it is basic physics. Robertson designed the WTC to stop an aircraft impact under 200 mph. It was a strong design, so they could maximize floor space.
The nose out is not cgi, it is the result of low speed, low resolution video. In reality the nose out is debris exiting the WTC. To say otherwise if pure insanity.
There could have been up to 12,000 pounds of fuel past rib 18. The main tank has about 4500 gallons inboard of Rib 18, and 2000 gallons outboard so only a 1/3 of the tank is outboard of 18, not half. How much does the wing weigh? They made assumptions about the fuel, but it does not matter because the WTC is made in sections, and it was the sections that failed to large sections, 3 stories high were exposed to the impact kind of averaging out the impact energy over the areas involved.
Oh look-ee, major sections (how big are those sections) were knock through due to the impact energy of 2093 pounds of TNT, 11 times the design impact of 187 pounds of TNT. The wing tip did not knock out the sections, not enough energy, but the wingtip traveling at 590 mph did bend the Aluminum siding; gee whiz, I could do that with a hammer using chocolate chip cookies as the energy source.
The nose out is garbage and you agree no one can be dumb enough to support the nose out lie. The nose out garbage is supported by Ace Baker who is insane on this topic. You know a plane crashed into the WTC and did the damage seen on 911. If you don't you are having a break with reality; get some sleep.
We conclude that momentum from the fuel alone is enough to destroy the steel column
Show there is not enough momentum to do it? The entire plane had the kinetic energy of 2093 pounds of TNT, much more than most CD scenarios. You never presented the calculations to prove 66,000 pounds of fuel at 590 mph can't do it. Show your work. Do some math. Try using physics instead of talking about fuel in the wing and trying to tie to the nose-out insanity of Ace Baker and other people who are unable to understand 911 after 8 years.
The fuel kinetic energy is only 497.8 pounds of TNT, like a 500 pound bomb in the form of wings. Would 500 pounds of TNT energy be enough to crash into the WTC? YES, the WTC was designed to stop a 187 pound of TNT kinetic energy event, looks like you failed to do the math, the physics, the engineering other people spent 4 years in undergrad work and 1.5 years in graduate work doing. You should have looked up JFK, he gave inspirational speeches emphasizing Independence and doing the hard things to get things done.
The fuel alone at 500 pounds of TNT is devastating to the WTC! V squared...
