Some Misunderstandings Related to WTC Collapse Analysis

[Tony Szamboti]

This doesn't answer the questions:

...tell me how you know which columns in the core failed, were damaged and survived the plane strike.

par for the course Tony with you because you make it up and then offer up your own brand of proof.

And such hubris....not even a bit of doubt...

I did say the only columns which could have been severely damaged were the core columns in the center from north to south on floors 94 and 95 that were in the path of the fuselage before it was completely broken up. That would be approximately 9 to 10 columns maximum out of 47, or about 20% maximum, three stories below where the collapse actually initiated. This can be proven based on a volume analysis.

You answered the the question by not answering it. You don't know.... you GUESS. Clearly the plane could not have destroyed ALL the core columns because our CD thing would not have been necessary. Enough remained to carry the tower for an hr of so as the weakening process proceeded.. or someone decided it was time enough to detonate the devices...

Analysis can show which core columns would be affected and at what story level they would be affected. It is not a guess.

When this type of analysis is done it severely undermines the case for natural collapse.
