I'm lost on terminology; i.e. free fall [View all] Nuclear Unicorn Dec 2011 OP
You're right. But some people here apparently believe buildings are supposed to collapse slowly. TheWraith Dec 2011 #1
Lol. Um, no. jesters Jan 2012 #4
Skyline Towers, Baileys Crossroads, Virginia, 1973 William Seger Jan 2012 #19
Which, if you had read the post I was replying to jesters Jan 2012 #27
Wrong again William Seger Jan 2012 #32
Free Fall jberryhill Dec 2011 #2
I chortled. n/t Nuclear Unicorn Dec 2011 #3
Everyone says "near free fall"... deconstruct911 Jan 2012 #5
no, I don't think free fall is inherently contrary to a controlled demolition hypothesis OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #6
"...(although you'll still find some people who seem to think it did).." jesters Jan 2012 #7
Still exhibiting your lack of understanding about Bazant Zhou? Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #8
Still claiming that he doesn't? jesters Jan 2012 #9
Sigh. Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #14
A free fall drop jesters Jan 2012 #17
Sigh. Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #18
One wonders if it is a LARED Jan 2012 #10
You don't have to wonder. jesters Jan 2012 #11
Look what up? LARED Jan 2012 #12
Good for you. jesters Jan 2012 #13
Ding! Ding! Ding! nt Ace Acme Dec 2013 #48
I'm thinking inability to understand. Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #15
Heh. jesters Jan 2012 #16
status: false OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #20
OTOH says "False!" and then proceeds jesters Jan 2012 #21
Once again demonstrating for all LARED Jan 2012 #23
I note that you didn't respond to any of my points OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #24
Wrong again William Seger Jan 2012 #22
Doesn't matter how he derived it jesters Jan 2012 #25
Here we go again... William Seger Jan 2012 #26
Pay attention. jesters Jan 2012 #28
Oh, so it was just another pointless red herring, devoid of any actual argument? William Seger Jan 2012 #29
Not really. jesters Jan 2012 #31
Some "truthers" DO claim free fall in the towers... William Seger Jan 2012 #33
"it's 'truthers' who still claim free fall for the towers" OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #35
"I am stating that he is the only 9/11 researcher who is claiming free fall" Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #36
omfg. How ridiculous does this need to get? jesters Jan 2012 #37
There is nothing for me to be embarrassed about here, particularly in regard to Bazant. Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #38
Bolo boffin, jesters Jan 2012 #39
As long as you keep misrepresent Bazant's work so egregiously Bolo Boffin Jan 2012 #40
that is factually incorrect OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #41
From Bazant & Zhou, 2002 jesters Jan 2012 #42
again, this refutes your point literally on its face, and more thoroughly in context OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #43
No jesters Jan 2012 #44
"his calculations" of what? OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #45
No. jesters Jan 2012 #46
right, that's what I said OnTheOtherHand Jan 2012 #47
Shyam Sunder said the towers fell in 9 seconds and 11 seconds, and he said that was freefall. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #50
Can you calculate what the "free fall" time would be for a building resembling the twin towers? AZCat Dec 2013 #51
Why should I? Isn't Dr. Sunder's estimate good enough for you? Ace Acme Dec 2013 #52
It's not me who has a problem with the NIST reports. AZCat Dec 2013 #53
Where do you get the idea that I have a problem with the bulk of the information Ace Acme Dec 2013 #54
From reading your posts - that's where I get the idea. AZCat Dec 2013 #55
What conclusions are you assuming for me? Ace Acme Dec 2013 #56
Of course - why would you double-check a simple calculation... AZCat Dec 2013 #57
Dr. Sunder is the expert. Do you think he's wrong? Ace Acme Dec 2013 #58
Do you understand the concept of irony? n/t AZCat Dec 2013 #59
Why, no, not at all! I'm sure your understanding of it eclipses mine completely! nt Ace Acme Dec 2013 #60
That's what I thought. AZCat Dec 2013 #61
What makes you think I reject NIST's work? Ace Acme Dec 2013 #62
Other than your repeated assertions that the NIST lied... AZCat Dec 2013 #63
There is no reason for me to calculate free fall time. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #64
Because you can't? That's okay. AZCat Dec 2013 #65
It's trivial. "Won't = Can't" is a dumbass formulation. nt Ace Acme Dec 2013 #66
What is trivial? The calculation? AZCat Dec 2013 #67
Yes, the calculation is trivial. The demand that I perform it is insulting. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #68
Insulting? Really? That's one of your more ludicrous claims. AZCat Dec 2013 #69
I am not relying on Dr. Sunder's authority. You are. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #70
Oh really? AZCat Dec 2013 #71
I repeated his claim because that is the official time. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #72
Well, then, I guess that's the end of the internet (at least for your type). AZCat Dec 2013 #73
What gives you the idea that I support conspiracy theories? nt Ace Acme Dec 2013 #74
<error> Internet not found. </error> AZCat Dec 2013 #75
IOW, nothing. You made it up. nt Ace Acme Dec 2013 #76
Why are you still here? AZCat Dec 2013 #77
I could ask you the same question. Ace Acme Dec 2013 #78
I'm here for interesting discussions of the collapses... AZCat Dec 2013 #79
You neither demonstrate your competence nor my incompetence. You make empty claims. nt Ace Acme Dec 2013 #80
I don't have to demonstrate your incompetence - it's demonstrated in your posts. AZCat Dec 2013 #81
Empty claims from a guy who claims to be a cat. nt Ace Acme Dec 2013 #82
Does your post have a point? AZCat Dec 2013 #83
Free fall ... T S Justly Jan 2012 #30
Zero G William Seger Jan 2012 #34
Unintentionally tautological, Seger refutes himself yet one more time. nt Ace Acme Dec 2013 #49
