He hasn't shown any errors. He just says he does. Saying isn't the same as doing and unfortunately much of what I see here is just saying.
The reality is that the tilt does not obviate a need for a jolt as the impacts happen too quickly and the velocity loss cannot be compensated for by a continued fall. If you notice most of these guys here just say it but won't dare do any calculations. I am going to show the calculations in a paper on this issue.
You seem to be one of those adding complexity to the issue. A purely gravity driven collapse needs to have an amplified load caused by impact and decleration. The Verinage Technique demolitions are perfect examples. They show deceleration and velocity loss on impact.
If there is no deceleration and velocity loss there was most likely something else removing the strength of the columns prior to impact. See it really isn't hard to understand.
I can't wait to see the paper. Make sure you dot your sines and cross your tans.
It is so much more complex. Not only the logistics of planting something to weaken the structure, but doing it so that it happens at just the right time, in just the right order, with just the right "uhmpf".
You've complained in the past about the upper section remaining rigid and yet this whole "jolt" relies on the upper section remaining perfectly intact. Any weakening of the upper section would have seen it crumble with the "jolt". This introduces the notion that the impacts were deliberately targeted at different heights in each tower. Doing so is no small feat.
If they were pre-weakened then NIST's damage analysis was grossly under estimated. Damage in the impact areas would have been significantly more pronounced.
Shall I continue or will you just admit you're shortsighted in your quest for the "missing jolt"?
