9/11 Free Fall 7/18/13: Dr. deHaven-Smith and "conspiracy theory"

92. IOW, your airy handwaving can not defeat fact and physical principles

Newton's 3rd Law is accepted science. Dr. Bazant's piledriver theory is inconsistent with both the early phases and the last phases of the actual collapse. It bears no resemblance to reality. If it were true, we could expect to find the hat truss relatively intact within the footprint of the tower. If it were not true, we could expect to find the elements of the hat truss widely scattered. Of course none of the officials had any interest in a rigorous examination of the crime scene.

There is no insulating debris mat in any of the Verinage demos I've seen. Verinage demos start in the middle of the building. Verinage demos have nothing to do with Bazant.

Bazant has to assume maximal energy transfer to get the behavior he wants--100% efficiency in the transmission of force to the structure. In real life there would be enormous inefficiencies and much kinetic energy lost to friction, pulverizing the concrete, shearing, bending, crushing of structural steel, and bouncing the debris around on its trip to the ground. I understand your simplistic principles just fine. They ain't rocket science, though puffy bluffers like to pretend they are. You are deliberately trying to cause confusion by conflating the initiation stage of the collapse--which requires the absurd assumption of a 3-meter freefall--with the later stage of the collapse when the lower structure was overwhelmed by 100,000 tons of falling debris.

Why are you defending Bazant at all? His theory bears no resemblance to reality, and NIST does not even name him in their report.

I don't find you the least bit intimidating. Bullying is the refuge of the bluffer who doesn't know what he's talking about. Clearly others do find you intimidating, because they do not engage you. You do not express yourself clearly. You blow smoke to create confusion and give the false impression that you know what you're talking about.
