Reply #177: about those steel columns of WTC & why buildings fell so rapidly: [View All]

[chomskysright]

Probably the most conclusive evidence that each of the Twin Towers fell in a
controlled demolition is that the tops of the respective buildings reached the ground almost as
quickly as if they had fallen in a vacuum. From a height of 1,360 feet, an object falling in a
vacuum would take a little more than 9 seconds to reach the ground. As a matter of physics, if
the top parts of the buildings were not speeded in their descent by explosives weakening the
44
concrete and steel of the bottom 80 stories or so of the towers that lay in their respective paths,
the towers could not possibly have collapsed as quickly as they did. Some part of the energy
that, in a vacuum, would be available for falling downward at an accelerating rate would have to
be expended instead in tearing through the many stories of concrete and steel that lay between
the top of each WTC tower, and the street....


The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York (in
Rockland County, roughly 21 miles or 34 km north of the WTC) recorded seismographs on 9-11
that show seismic events at the beginning of the collapse of each of the Twin Towers. There was
a 2.1 magnitude earthquake just as the South Tower began its 10-second collapse at 9:59:04, and
a 2.3 magnitude earthquake as the North Tower began its collapse at 10:28:31.....
