Sorry, but under no circumstance will steel buckle at gravitational acceleration.
Assertion not proven fact.

Sorry, but under no circumstances has a controlled demolition resulted in gravitational acceleration.Sorry, but under no circumstance will steel buckle at gravitational acceleration.
ETA: That was a funny slip, I said "we" created instead of "were".
Did I just admit this out loud?
Sorry, but under no circumstance will steel buckle at gravitational acceleration.
That sentence doesn't even mean anything.

How can you possibly know this?
Buckling is a deformation process. Steel will not go through this process at gravitational acceleration.
Buckling is a deformation process. Steel will not go through this process at gravitational acceleration.
How can you possibly know this? And how would this even help your case? If controlled, coordinated explosive charges fail so often to produce free fall then why would you expect fire to do it?
Since no one who has been part of any thorough investigation into the collapses has ever claimed that's what happened, who cares?Buckling is a deformation process. Steel will not go through this process at gravitational acceleration.
No problem.You're going to lose your corner office and keys to the executive washroom in NWO towers for that little slip up, Agent 4359!
You're still not making any sense.
Acceleration = change in velocity / time
How does one measure the velocity of "buckling"?
If one COULD measure the velocity of "buckling", how are you so certain it cannot occur at gravitational acceleration? Have you done the measurements and experimentation yourself?
Please show us your data and calculations.
If a column under an axial load begins to buckle, then said load will descend. The rate of velocity of that descending load is measurable. That load will still be resisted by the steel during its failure and therefore never experience free fall. What I think is being suggested is that the load was so great on all of these columns that it produced such rapid failure as to be unmeasurably indistinguishable from free fall, despite the fact that so much of the load was the columns themselves and the rest was building materials that had comprised the rest of the structure for decades.
And that measurement would be?If a column under an axial load begins to buckle, then said load will descend. The rate of velocity of that descending load is measurable.

Could you please be a little more specfic? What load was supported by buckling columns and then fell at a speed "unmeasurably indistinguishable from free fall"? None of the WTC buildings fell at any speed near free fall.
And that measurement would be?
Is this a serious question?
Humor me.Oh Jesus. Are we really doing this over again?
Mine was. Which load were you referring to in your statement?tempesta29 said:Is this a serious question

Do you think it takes more force to initiate the buckling, or to continue the buckling once initiated?If a column under an axial load begins to buckle, then said load will descend.
