As you probably can guess, it wasn't my title. I only copy/pasted it.
I appreciate your ironic support but I would encourage you to direct your comments to Steve Pakin here

He's the one who needs the physics lesson. I'm already convinced:-)

Yes! I was writhing with irony and I'm glad you are one who can appreciate ironic humor ...and I will most certainly be directing a comment to Steve Pakin. and voting in his little poll/survey too!

I suggest you crack open your physics book to the chapter on "Conservation of Momentum" so you can understand the ridiculousness of your argument.

And by the way, the "chaos of breaking" is an expenditure of gravitational potential energy which does not get to contribute to the kinetic energy of the "gravitationally-driven" collapse. The more breakage (and expulsion), the slower the collapse.

To allege that overloaded floors resist a falling mass in generally the same manner as air molecules is, well, ...

I take this tone because I assume you think the OCT is feasible.

Or perhaps you have a paper that uses "snap-through dynamics" as its basis to show how a building could collapse at such rapid speeds?

I didn't think so. This is why you don't get any respect from me.

Darth Kazi said,
"Not a single explosion blast was caught on tape before or during any of the collapses."

I say,
I'm not so sure about that Darth! go back and watch the numerous videos (of the collapse of towers 1-2 and 7) "you might revise your statement"!....hundreds of firefighters and witnesses heard explosions anyway.

DarthKazi said,
"Even if the videos were tampered with, altered in some way, it's reasonable to assume that a modicum of incendiaries, focused on key areas of the building could cause a "progressive collapse" without loud blast sounds and typical explosives."

I say,
I'm glad you are aware that thermate/thermite is a possible candidate for the type of explosive that was probably used to bring down all three towers.

DarthKarzi said,"
If only you understood snap-through dynamics, yield limit and basic kinematics..."

I say,
Why dont we help you out here Darth! l....lets build a 110 story building on paper, and we will make it collapse as fast as mother nature will allow us to!

(first) we will eliminate all steel columns, and suspend all 110 floors from wires that will support them, but will break as soon a anything bigger than a feather lands on them. will that help it fall faster? (say yes)
....takes care of alot of that messy "yield limit" math that you J-weffers confuse people with too!

(second) we will make the floors out of rubber so they wont break apart into dust like the concrete floors did. That way you can use every bit of the mass from the floors above and transfer it to the floor below (total transfer of momentum) ...will that make it fall faster? (nod head now)....takes care of all that messy "vectoring"and "snap thru dynamics" math that you J-weffers confuse people with too!

(third) we will do it in a vacuum!

no matter how you slice it Darth...there were thousands of tons of concrete between the radio tower on top of WTC 1, and the ground, and even if we make the tower floors "break loose" (on a feathers weight) and not turn into dust on the way down (give it all to you on a silver platter) you still cant make a 1360 ft tower fall in 12 seconds...(without incendiaries or explosives.)
