If the whole building would collapse completely from removing just one floor then they wouldn't need to rig the whole building.

I know! It's fucking hilarious the shit they try to peddle as physics! wildbilln864 Nov 2014 #2

He was using the Beatle's Magical Mystery tour bus gyroscope Nov 2014 #3

The guy is being sarcastic gyroscope Nov 2014 #6

Yup, he's trying to be sacastic William Seger Nov 2014 #7

It's a valid comparison. gyroscope Nov 2014 #8

The comparison is ludicrous William Seger Nov 2014 #9

Bad example gyroscope Nov 2014 #10

LOL, what about Gyro's Law? William Seger Nov 2014 #12

Explosives, hydraulics, whatever gyroscope Nov 2014 #14

Got proof? OBenario Nov 2015 #59

William, do you also believe..... wildbilln864 Nov 2014 #11

I believe Bazant's conclusion William Seger Nov 2014 #13

Haha Bazant is an idiot gyroscope Nov 2014 #15

Bazant is one of the world's foremost experts in structural mechanics William Seger Nov 2014 #17

Bullshit William Seger Nov 2015 #60

thhe crackpot probably wrote that shit himself or... wildbilln864 Nov 2015 #61

then you believe in nonsense and not science! wildbilln864 Nov 2014 #16

Failed demolitions are caused by... William Seger Nov 2014 #18

Bazant has no argument that needs refuting. eomer Nov 2014 #19

Bullshit William Seger Nov 2014 #20

No, as that paper explains repeatedly, calculations of the real life physical process were not done. eomer Nov 2014 #21

I don't think I agree with your assessment. AZCat Nov 2014 #23

You have never understood Bazant's argument William Seger Nov 2014 #24

Or else you have never understood it. eomer Nov 2014 #25

That makes no sense cpwm17 Nov 2014 #26

That was an intentionally extreme hypothetical for only a very narrow purpose. eomer Nov 2014 #29

" But to demonstrate through engineering principles..." William Seger Nov 2014 #37

Bazant didn't "demonstrate" that the ENTIRE top block was falling? William Seger Nov 2014 #27

I showed you what was (or should have been) obvious... eomer Nov 2014 #28

I made no such claim William Seger Nov 2014 #30

collapse was inevitable!? wildbilln864 Nov 2014 #32

Great response. zappaman Nov 2014 #33

Hard to argue with a baffoon gyroscope Nov 2014 #35

That's exactly how the professional building community feels about the "truthers". AZCat Nov 2014 #36

Ha!!! GGJohn Jan 2015 #44

Yes, if even one floor collapsed, total collapse was inevitable William Seger Nov 2014 #34

your every post is nonsense lately! wildbilln864 Nov 2014 #38

Pro tip: When you accuse someone of "nonsense" ... William Seger Nov 2014 #39

Ha!! Good catch. GGJohn Jan 2015 #45

"Yes, if even one floor collapsed, total collapse was inevitable" wildbilln864 Jan 2015 #47

Wow, what a well thought out, educated response. GGJohn Jan 2015 #43

it's just as educated as "collapse was inevitable"! wildbilln864 Jan 2015 #46

Nope, that proves what happens with bad guesses William Seger Jan 2015 #49

more sophistry! wildbilln864 Jan 2015 #50

Wow, I didn't realize this guy was using Anders Bjorkman as a reference. AZCat Nov 2014 #22

This is what i call "Hillbilly Physics." n/t RoccoR5955 Dec 2014 #40

That's a great name for a band! n/t zappaman Jan 2015 #48

and a kick! n/t wildbilln864 Mar 2015 #55

and remember that as the collapses proceeded down the structure wildbilln864 May 2015 #56

Great video! Thanks n/t OBenario Nov 2015 #58
