Not a valid engineering comparison example.
What dropped on TOP of the building to crush it like you say ?
The plane flew into it from the SIDE.
Using your logic is should have fallen sideways.. by a measurable smidgen at least.
Please explain to this lowly test engineer your logic .. im keen :)
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
what dropped on top was those many floors ABOVE the failing column. dropped all at once, massive impact. buildings aren't designed to withstand that.
it fell mostly level because the support was central. try my experiment, and you'll see that the cinder blocks fall mostly level.
I don't know if you truly believe what your comments on this tread transpire but if you do I have sympathy for you and I recommend you watch the 2 movies above as I had already said.
May people recognize my first comment I made on this tread as true or at least intriguing enough to learn more on the subject.
They could save a lot of time and agony by watching these videos instead:
Oh dear .. armchair engineering alert.
Actually the buildings I have been involved with all got heavily modeled for exactly the physics you describe.
I suggest you read more Physics 101 because what you are saying does not fit with reality and its making you look a little silly.
Be brave and boogie on baby :)
Could you be more specific? I hold a master's in mathematics, and I've aced every physics and engineering class. Bring it.
Lol, really :) Love ya vigour.
thank you. is that it?
Pretty much.
Keep up the studies, good luck in the exams :)
Why don't you want to debate anymore? Will you at least grant the possibility of my explanation being valid? If not, why not?
