Sept11Physics - 9/11Review

Sept11Physics

The laws of physics are a rock on which to search for the truth about the events of 9/11. Many the elements of the OsamaBinAsset story are easily shown to be physically impossible:

It's interesting how the Twin Towers and Building 7's near free-fall collapses are not even mentioned here. The collapses are only hinted at with the irrelevant point about jet fuel fires being incapable of melting steel.

Kersosene cannot melt steel unless MuslimsSuspendPhysics.

Actually kerosene can be used to melt steel, if it is mixed with sufficiently pressurized and/or preheated air. Temperatures inside of a jet engine are high enough to melt structural steel. But these fine points escape 911Review.org.

In any case the point is irrelevant since the official story doesn't hold that the fires melted the steel in the building collapses, only that they softened it.

The color of the fireball in the PentagonAttack which is too "hot" to be from jet fuel (kerosene) or from an office fire.
The core of the fire in the PentagonAttackFire went on for 5 days, which is too "hot" to be from jet fuel (kerosene) or from an office fire.
The damage in the PentagonAttackDamage which is too deep and colimated to be caused by jet fuel from an airliner crash, or from an office fire.

I thought that most of the damage to the columns was supposed to have been caused by the kinetic energy of the impact.
The Sept11PhysicsCellPhones calls from an airplane at any significant altitude are physically impossible.

On the other hand, the elements of the obvious explanation of the events of 9/11, namely that explosives were on board either commercial (Tower 2) and/or military (Pentagon) aircraft under automatic remote control, is not only physically feasible, but uses well known technologies (see Nasa557).

Again 911Review.org inserts the poison pill -- the entirely unsupported conclusions that the South Tower plane was rigged with explosives -- to discredit the core truth about the demolition of the towers, which is only hinted at in the first item of the list above.

The Physics of 9/11 is so interesting, and so important, that there is a web site dedicated to it.

Despite the progress made to date DebunkingConspiracies, there remain some fascinating and very difficult questions that remain, especially as most of the evidence was removed in the OngoingCoverup :

Of the four sparse pages about the physics of the Twin Towers' collapses, there is nothing about the rates of expansion of the mushrooming tops, the 200-foot-per-second squibs seen in videos of the North Tower, the dead-centered verticality of the collapses, the volume of the dust clouds and energy required to expand them and pulverize the concrete, the speed of fall, or the physical composition and distribution of the debris. Instead 911Review.org gives us a few dust cloud pictures and highlights the strange persistence of the North Tower spire. The TwinTowersMach10 page helps to convince the reader that the talk about the collapses violating the laws of physics is equivalent to speculation about UFOs.
