How fast should 20-or-so stories of a skyscraper fall, if they’re suddenly allowed to drop a foot or so. How long until they reach terminal velocity? What’s special about the design of the WTC towers to make the weak in this respect? O lover of knowledge, dig up the answers. Please look outside of that one-sided movie. There was a special about it on the History Channel.
I hate to break this to you, but engineers are human. They are no smarter, stupider, or less-susceptible to propaganda than anyone else. Their advantage is the assumption that they should be able to understand some of the mechanics of these situations better than the average person, assuming their area of engineering is similar. If you’re into electrical engineering, for example, it might not help much. But clearly, being an engineer doesn’t make you immune to one-sided conspiracy theories. So far you’re not giving the other side a chance.
“Little” is an interesting choice of words. A “little” plane would probably have bounced off the towers, literally, seeing as how much of their weight-bearing steel was on the outside. But they were not hit by one little plane, it was two very big planes with full loads of fuel. Again, buildings of traditional design might not have had the same problem with such a fire, but these buildings were built differently. I’m sure this difference was not covered in Loose Change.
He’s supposed to lead. NY Mayor Rudy Guliani showed a good example of leadership after the attack. Bush showed a bad example after hurricane Katrina. I’m not sure what he could have done right at that moment, but if it had been me I would have excused myself from the classroom and immediately immersed myself with as much information about the situation as was available to me, so I could start making intelligent decisions as necessary. He chose not to attempt this.
If he actually knew it was coming, I’d expect him to react a lot more than he did. of course he’s not an actor at all, and he’s a bad speaker, but that’s beside the point. 
He got caught with his pants down just like everybody else. I’m no fan of George Bush, but I have no reason to believe he would:
a) Want to cause so many American deaths and destruction.
b) Be able to carry it off so well, while bumbling like an idiot with so many other things.
Or mis-controls it. It doesn’t control me, and it doesn’t control the laws of physics. Gilby offered you a clue. Again, what happens to aluminum in a fire, and why is this important?
Years later? Okay… Are they supposed to be in any way connected to the 9/11 attacks, assuming any of this is actually factual at all? The police would do DNA testing and other studies to find out as much as they can, to identify the bones. Any results? Or just enough information to make it look like something fishy’s going on, only years later?
I watched enough to get the idea. No, they don’t answer my questions, and they don’t ask them. If they did ask them, their theories would fall apart. So I’m asking them to you. It’s not bait, its just real questions about the way things should be expected to work. Not in a “regular” plane crash, and not in the planned, controlled demolition of a 15-story building.
Yeah. Or, make up a bunch of nonsense that doesn’t even make sense, and have the same clean slate. Can’t prove any of the conspiracy stuff apparently, either.
Whatever, dude. Remember this when you reach my age. 
But before you get there, please try to learn to filter what the hell is going around you so you can separate the BS from what may be reality. You’re showing yourself to be quite the easy mark at the moment, engineering student or no.
Like all those other older people, the ones who built the buildings, designed the planes, etc. Yeah, old people are lame. 
Aw, you can’t quit now, just when you’re convincing so many people!
Sorry topic, I really do feel bad about you. Reading my mail? Go ahead. I don’t read most of it anyway…
