I don't know what to make of the silence of some of the more opinionated posters here about the strength of the twin towers such as Fetzer, Lemkin, Boldwyn, Kyle and of course Jack White.
Not a comment and no one has stepped forward to show how this work is flawed.
Of course, the FOS of the steel is not even an issue in a gravity driven progressive destruction of the floors.
But it was used as some sort of reason why it was impossible for the columns to be crushed... and it was quoted as never less than 4 or 5 and Fetzer and Boldwyn paraded the number 20 for the factor of safety. Just a nonsense argument with false information.
Anyone could have done this... it's basic math.... and all from the public record.
But this is a lesson of what happens when you decided to check the provenance of evidence claims for yourself and determine that several of those claims are made up out of whole cloth.
Trust but verify!
