For every action there is an EQUAL AND OPPOSITE reaction.
It is physically impossible for the much smaller upper portion of the building to be able to crush the much taller and stronger built bottom portion.
30 upper floors can only crush at most 30 lower floors. Even less if the 30 below have more steel reinforcement.
The only way the upper portion can do more damage is with explosive help.
You know our school system is fucked when no one bothers to question why the upper 30 floors were completely invulnerable to the crushing forces until they hit the ground.

Says another armchair engineer with no credentials.

You were saying?

Well that doesn't mean shit. Also I noted that not one individual has brought into question the buildings age or the fact that it was built by the lowest bid. Without at least a modicum of critical thinking we may never know the truth.

You dismiss someone's observations by calling him an armchair engineer with no credentials. So I show you 3000 credentialed engineers, but that doesn't mean shit. And you're right, 28 year old buildings often explode into dust when hit by one or zero planes, leaving pools of molten steel for months afterwards.

I didn't watch zero aircraft smack those buildings. Nope never saw that one.

Building 7 was not hit by a plane, retard. You have got to be the dumbest person I've ever talked to about 9/11.

Did you even read the headline?

Yes

Who just made the case that 60 floors of falling material would do less damage than 30 floors of material.
There are things to question about that day which are legit fucked but the sheer volume of retards spew8ng shit like this ensures that will never happen.

Least funny, but most accurate thing I've ever read on this site.

Everyone seems to want to pretend that these buildings weren't 30 years old, and weren't built by the lowest bidder. Amazing.

You don’t have to be an engineer to grasp basic universal physical laws.
Do you have an actual argument? Last I checked, name calling wasn’t a valid argument.

I'd call this post satirical speculation at best. Newton would slap your nuts if he read this.
It's still better than the official description though.

30 floors can only crush 30 floors. Newton would slap you for thinking anything more was possible.

Tyrone, put down the book and get back in the field you stupid nigger. You can't even read
