Give that Man a Cigar!

CIT's pretty much burned up all their credibility with the "responsible" wing of the Truthers. JONES, David Chandler, and others have officially denounced the flyover theory as the nuttiness that it is.

So the question now becomes, when does Richard Gage rowback his endorsement of CIT's video, National Security Alert? Remember, that's the video that Gage gushed about:

"The exhaustive effort by Craig Ranke and Aldo Marquis of Citizen Investigation Team to contact, record, document, and analyze numerous first-hand eyewitness accounts of the actual flight path of the airliner at the Pentagon on 9/11 has been long overdue, but worth waiting for. The evidence they have uncovered and compiled in their DVD "National Security Alert" deserves serious attention - particularly in light of what we now know about the explosive destruction of the three World Trade Center high-rises that day."


Over at Truth Action, speculation is running as to why Gage has not rescinded those statements. My money is on this guess:
So here's my opinion on what I think I "know" to be true...

You don't want to alienate a portion of your audience and potentially jeopardize AE911Truths steady and lucrative income streams.


Yup. Box Boy, like Griffin before him, is a big tent kind of guy; he wants everybody inside his tent as sustaining members.

Yup, the "truth" movement is all about con artists like Gage and Griffin preying on the gullible, whether that be angry dateless 20-year-olds in black t-shirts, or delusional lunatics like Brian Good.

Mr. Gage made enormous personal sacrifices to get his organization off the ground. You guys seem to think that his current salary of $75k a year is a lot of money. Maybe in Kentucky or Arizona or Chicago it is, but in the San Francisco Bay Area it's not.

Your scorn would be more appropriately directed at William Rodriguez, whose fact-free inspirational stories were packing the gullible in for too long.

Lloyd Blankfein was born in a rough housing project in Brooklyn and worked his ass off to become CEO of Goldman Sachs. So what?

You guys seem to think that his current salary of $75k a year is a lot of money.

It ain't bad for the fraud/charlatan business.

Maybe in Kentucky or Arizona or Chicago it is, but in the San Francisco Bay Area it's not.

So why doesn't Gage move to where it's cheap? It's not like he can't run his fraud business from a trailer park in Mississippi?

It's too bad that you're too stupid to see what a fool you are for taking Gage seriously, but you are who you are, Brian: someone too dumb/insane to keep a janitorial job.

Uh, the buildings didn't come down "essentially in free-fall". Asking NIST to explain that is like asking them to explain why the buildings were destroyed by an earthquake. You can't explain things that didn't happen.

That is because smart people know everyday objects can NEVER demonstrate the forces going on at the scale of the WTC. To do this you need to either build something at the actual scale of the WTC or use computers that can reproduce those forces using mathematical calculations. Why do you think they use computer models to test structural designs and not scale models.

That backyard scientist crap is exactly how the con men pray on the simple minded, don't pay any attention to those elitist scientist who use big words and complex explanations, NO believe Billy Ray Bob and his falling bricks.

The fact you are so lacking in basic science understanding that I and most others understand quite well is nothing to base a conspiracy on. It only shows you are stupid and we am smart.

DK, there is no scale exemption for Newton's laws. They apply to all things large and small.

Why did NIST use computer models? Because when they built a full-scale model of the floor and subjected it to fire, the results did not come out like they wanted. With computer models it's easier to cheat.

Hey, Brian, figuring I'd find out exactly what is meant by 'structural resistance', checked out a few web sites.

Here's Wikipedia's entry on structural engineering theory.
Pretty serious shit for someone like me, Brian, but I'm sure it's childs-play for someone like you;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

So, figuring you know all about structural resistance, I guess you can tell us the affects of strength, stiffness, Newton's Law of Motion (you'll breeze through that!), Statical determinacy, elasticity, plasticity, The Euler-Bernoulli beam equation (which you know defines the behavior of a beam element and is based on five assumptions), and buckling in regard to Gage's cardboard boxes, and the WTC towers.

Now, buggered if I know about that, and this is just a guess, but I think...Gage's cardboard box experiment explained nothing other than dropping a box onto another box is different to dropping it straight onto the floor.

And, the difference is?

The lower box gets in the way

 
At 17 January, 2011 22:33, Blogger snug.bug said...

DING DING DING! We have a winner. You understand the significance of Mr. Gage's experiment!

It's a demonstration of Newton's Second Law and the First Law of Thermodynamics.

And we needn't complicate the issue any further than that to demonstrate that we need an honest computer model of the collapse because it's too fast. The energy needed to tear apart the lower structure and deform all that steel and pulverize the concrete must be subtracted from the available kinetic energy and it should have slowed down the
collapse.

Only by taking away the structural resistance of the building can that swift collapse be achieved.

WTC 7

This analysis showed that the 40 percent longer descent time—compared to the 3.9 second free fall time—was due primarily to Stage 1, which corresponded to the buckling of the exterior columns in the lower stories of the north face.

During Stage 2, the north face descended essentially in free fall, indicating negligible support from the structure below. This is consistent with the structural analysis model which showed the exterior columns buckling and losing their capacity to support the loads from the structure above.

In Stage 3, the acceleration decreased as the upper portion of the north face encountered increased resistance from the collapsed structure and the debris pile below.

WTC Towers

"Was there enough gravitational energy present in the World Trade Center Towers to cause the collapse of the intact floors below the impact floors? Why was the collapse of WTC 1 and 2 not arrested by the intact structure below the floors where columns first began to buckle?"

Yes, there was more than enough gravitational load to cause the collapse of the floors below the level of collapse initiation in both WTC Towers. The vertical capacity of the connections supporting an intact floor below the level of collapse was adequate to carry the load of 11 additional floors if the load was applied gradually and 6 additional floors if the load was applied suddenly (as was the case). Since the number of floors above the approximate floor of collapse initiation exceeded six in each WTC Tower (12 and 29 floors, respectively), the floors below the level of collapse initiation were unable to resist the suddenly applied gravitational load from the upper floors of the buildings. Details of this finding are provided below:

 
At 18 January, 2011 02:47, Blogger paul w said...

Consider a typical floor immediately below the level of collapse initiation and conservatively assume that the floor is still supported on all columns (i.e., the columns below the intact floor did not buckle or peel-off due to the failure of the columns above).

Consider further the truss seat connections between the primary floor trusses and the exterior wall columns or core columns.
The individual connection capacities ranged from 94,000 lb to 395,000 lb, with a total vertical load capacity for the connections on a typical floor of 29,000,000 lb (See Section 5.2.4 of NIST NCSTAR 1-6C).

The total floor area outside the core was approximately 31,000 ft2, and the average load on a floor under service conditions on September 11, 2001 was 80 lb/ft2.

Thus, the total vertical load on a floor outside the core can be estimated by multiplying the floor area (31,000 ft2) by the gravitational load (80 lb/ft2), which yields 2,500,000 lb (this is a conservative load estimate since it ignores the weight contribution of the heavier mechanical floors at the top of each WTC Tower).

By dividing the total vertical connection capacity (29,000,000 lb) of a floor by the total vertical load applied to the connections (2,500,000 lb), the number of floors that can be supported by an intact floor is calculated to be a total of 12 floors or 11 additional floors.

 
At 18 January, 2011 02:48, Blogger paul w said...

This simplified and conservative analysis indicates that the floor connections could have carried only a maximum of about 11 additional floors if the load from these floors were applied statically.

Even this number is (conservatively) high, since the load from above the collapsing floor is being applied suddenly. Since the dynamic amplification factor for a suddenly applied load is 2, an intact floor below the level of collapse initiation could not have supported more than six floors.

Since the number of floors above the level where the collapse initiated, exceeded 6 for both towers (12 for WTC 1 and 29 for WTC 2), neither tower could have arrested the progression of collapse once collapse initiated.

In reality, the highest intact floor was about three (WTC 2) to six (WTC 1) floors below the level of collapse initiation. Thus, more than the 12 to 29 floors reported above actually loaded the intact floor suddenly.

"Were the basic principles of conservation of momentum and energy satisfied in NIST’s analysis of the structural response of the towers to the aircraft impact and the fires?"

'Yes. The basic principles of conservation of momentum and conservation of energy were satisfied in these analyses.

In the case of the aircraft impact analyses, which involved a moving aircraft (velocity) and an initially stationary building, the analysis did, indeed, account for conservation of momentum and energy (kinetic energy, strain energy).

After each tower had finished oscillating from the aircraft impact, the subsequent degradation of the structure involved only minute (essentially zero) velocities.

Thus, a static analysis of the structural response and collapse initiation was appropriate.

Since the velocities were zero and since momentum is equal to mass times velocity, the momentum terms also equaled zero and therefore dropped out of the governing equations.

The analyses accounted for conservation of energy.'

Wow, Bwian, They DID mention 'kinetic energy'!!!

Ever notice how Troof Scientists never get around to testing the converse of their experiments? That is, take some everyday object like a cardboard box, remove its structural resistance, and reproduce effects similar to the observed WTC collapse? Why do you suppose Troof Scientists are afraid to go there?

Why did NIST use computer models? Because when they built a full-scale model of the floor and subjected it to fire, the results did not come out like they wanted. With computer models it's easier to cheat.

So in other words, they weren't able to build a model that would act like the WTC.

 
At 18 January, 2011 09:39, Blogger Dave Kyte said...

Unlike truther claims the building did not collapse totally, parts of the towers stood until being taken down in the clean-up. People were pulled form the core of WTC1. Of course most of the structure below ground was intact including the cores that truther say was "blown up". listening to truther idiots you would think the towers completely reduced to dust, unfortunately for them just a quick look at the aftermath shows that is not true.

I heard descriptions of the collapse of WTC1 as it being peeled like a banana, the sides being pushed outward as the internal structure fell inward, and you can see that in pictures. So you only need to use enough energy to undermine the structure below, not destroy the structure, contrary to the thinking of children like Brian.

Think of it this way, if you have a table with a heavy load on it and you want to make it collapse you don't need to destroy the legs you only need to knock them enough out of vertical so the load can not be distributed into the floor. In fact that is how a real controlled demolition works unlike the idiots truther version that has everything being blown up.

Of course anyone who can count and watch a video can confirm the towers didn't fall at free-fall. I guess Brian is still trying to lean how to count.

NIST built a full-scale model of the floor NOT test how much heat would be put out in an office fire, and how much of that heat would get to the steel structure. Even they knew it could not be truly representational of the actual event. Remember you have up to 6 floors at a time fully involved in fire creating much more heat.

So the fact our village idiot Brian doesn’t even know the facts of the test is not surprising.

paul, if you actually look at the video you'll see there is no overt action of the face of the building to support NIST's "stage one" claim of a 40% longer collapse time. They claim that something happened in the lower stories where we can't see it. Why they did the roofline not move?

The notion of a sudden application of the entire mass of the top "block" to one poor defenseless story at the top of the lower structure is a complete fantasy.
Any such interaction would have more resembled petgoat's "rake attacks rake" model more than a piledriver attacking a weak pile.
In fact the video shows that the upper block of tower one came apart before the lower structure began to fail.

 
At 18 January, 2011 10:33, Blogger snug.bug said...

Paul, 80 pounds is an unrealistically large live load. Good for conservative engineering, but for collapse estimates it's blatant cheating. That's cases of copy paper standing on end two cases high over every foot of every floor.

Yes, NIST doesn't mention the energy of dismembering the structure and twisting the steel and pulverizing the concrete. That's my point. By stopping the analysis at the moment of collapse initiation, they can avoid the embarrassing math that shows that under the circumstances the essentially free fall collapse is impossible without added energy inputs in the form of explosives or incendiaries.

Note NIST's sleight of hand. The issue is conservation of energy in the collapse. NIST answers about conservation of energy in the plane impact and fires. Blatant dishonesty.

The tops rotated slightly and then they came apart 1000 feet in the air, including pulverizing the concrete. This is why there was the rush to clean up the steel--because a scientific deconstruction of the pile would have shown Bazant's theory to be a fantasy.

Not really. The government can't prosecute the organization for their political position; that gets into free-speech issues.

As long as he pays personal income taxes on the salary the organization pays him, he's not dodging income tax. There's no evidence that he's done that. 2010 income tax filings aren't even due for another three months.

As appalling as it is that Richard Gage apparently makes a living peddling hateful conspiracies to chumps, he's probably not doing anything illegal.

And he's hardly alone. There are lots of tax-exempt "charities" in this country that raise money, pay their executives large salaries, and produce nothing of value to society.

The tops rotated slightly and then they came apart 1000 feet in the air, including pulverizing the concrete. This is why there was the rush to clean up the steel--because a scientific deconstruction of the pile would have shown Bazant's theory to be a fantasy.

Please see a psychiatrist, Brian.

"Collapse of Overpass in California Becomes Lesson in Construction"

Nice of you to compare a bridge with that of a building. You're 1 fucked up guy Brian.

Also,

ABOLHASSAN ASTANEH, University of California, Berkeley:

"In both of them, basically, the fire was the reason why steel got soft and weak and collapsed. In both of them, I feel that we, as engineers, if we had looked at them and learned the lessons, we could really apply these lessons to build safe structures."

He said nothing about melted steel. Nice try at lying Brian!

ABOLHASSAN ASTANEH says that, in some places, the fireproofing used to protect the WTC steel has “melted into a glassy residue.”

Thomas Eagar - an engineering professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - later comments that the “temperature of the fire at the WTC [on 9/11] was not unusual, and it was most definitely not capable of melting steel.”

As you will read in this article, Brian, Dr. Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl did say he saw 'melted beams' at the WTC.

No other engineer has said this, and furthermore, another engineer disagreed with it.

Astaneh-Asl also said this:

“The collapse of the [Twin Towers] was most likely due to the intense fire initiated by the jet fuel of the planes and continued due to burning of the building contents.”

Care to comment on that?

As you'll cherry-pick from this article, he also said this:

"Astaneh-Asl previously told the New York Times that the scrap steel from the WTC was “worth only a few million dollars, a tiny fraction of the billions of dollars the cleanup will cost.” Yet the knowledge that could be gained from it “could save lives in a future disaster.”

He was complaining that a more thorough examination would help them build safer buildings, not that he thought there was something fishy.

At 21 January, 2011 16:32, Blogger paul w said...

In another pbs article, from the day of the attacks, Astenah and another engineer talk about the collapse;

"...they lost the ability to support that, all of that mass, like another building, came down on top of the rest of the structure like a pile hammer and just essentially drove the rest of the building into the ground."

"the weight of those upper floors completely collapsed on the lower part and hammered it down and collapsed it."

"All I can tell you is if there's any positive thing here today is that actually the fact that these buildings were steel structures.

When we had the Oklahoma City tragedy, that structure was concrete. When it happened the concrete could not tolerate the impact and the columns were pretty much collapsed and the whole building collapsed and there was no time for people to get out of the building.

In this case, because the structures were steel structures, the columns were able to tolerate easily the impact.

Even they could tolerate the fire if we were able to reach the fire and extinguish the fire. But since it wasn't possible, the fire was too intense, and then the steel lost its strength and collapsed after one hour.

But that one hour apparently was enough for many people, as I heard, in fact, from Ron when we were sitting outside, that his firm had people in that building and they were able to evacuate from the 91st floor after the fire started.

So they were out before the collapse. So one positive thing I see is that at least we were lucky in a sense that the collapse actually happened in a progressive way, not in a very sudden, immediate after attack.

So I see a very, very positive point in the design of these buildings that they were really strong, as Ron mentioned, and they were really designed well. But unfortunately they could not tolerate that intense fire due to the jet fuel perhaps"

Brian,

How can there be "melted steel" @ Ground Zero when steel's melting point is: 2,800* F?

Also:

NIST reported maximum upper layer air temperatures of about 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit in the WTC towers.

1,800* F is way less of a temperature to melt steel.

2,800*F - 1,800*F = 1,000*F difference.

No possible way for steel to melt at such a low temperature.

You're "molten steel" theory is as dead as your brain on drugs.

There wasn't "molten steel" @ Ground Zero. We don't need a "new investigation" because you feel we should. Hey Brian, I live in a town where steel mills thrive, I think I would know what molten steel looks like. Given that I've visited the local steel mills around town.

Oh, & it didn't happen the way you imagined it.

#11:

Pure liquid aluminum would be expected to appear silvery. However, the molten metal was very likely mixed with large amounts of hot, partially burned, solid organic materials (e.g., furniture, carpets, partitions and computers) which can display an orange glow, much like logs burning in a fireplace. The apparent color also would have been affected by slag formation on the surface.

According to the NIST Report, no molten steel was confirmed.

Let me school you again Brian

Under the right conditions fires deep in the rubble pile could created enough heat to melt steel. A combination of a well insulated fire with enough fuel and air to crate a blast furnace effect could happen.

That would be a reasonable and logical explanation for any melted steel. if it exist. The idea thermite could be used for a controlled demolition is pure fantasy, exactly the sort of stuff a simpleton like you would buy.

So when people are given the choice of a reasonable explanation from a smart guy or the ravings of a simple janitor level guy, people believe the bright people. That is why 9/11 truth isa dead issue, and resigned to joke status.

Not my problem, Brian.
Google?
It's not up to me to Google your accusations. It's up to you to provide proof.

So, I am asking you, once again, to please provide the links for this comment to sent to me:

Paul, Dr. Ahmed Ghoniem of MIT wrote that photographic evidence suggested melting of steel.

Leslie Robertson said molten steel was "running".

Richard Garlock, Structural Engineer for LERA, said "The debris past the columns was red-hot, molten, running."

DK, NIST did not investigate how steel could melt in a hypothetical natural blast furnace.

The temperature inside the WTCs' never reached melting point of 2,800*F. They only reached 1,800*F!

A blast furnace? You must be taking drugs to think that crazy shit.

And I'll repeat this until Brian does explain it:

If Brian believes that Thermite can cause steel to melt, then he has to explain why in hell Hindenberg's metal skeleton didn't melt as a result of it's skin being painted in a thermite coating (iron oxide & aluminum powder).

There's no cause for you--babbling lies and iananity. Obviously Pat and James have a cause in mind in maintaining this blog, and you are hurting that cause.

WAQ, how do you know what temperatures were reached in the WTC? NIST's core steel samples were only heated to 250 C. FEMA's samples got hot enough to evaporate the steel. The hypothetical blast furnace in the pile is DK's laquer-thinner fantasy, not mine.

Thermite is not easy to ignite. Usually it takes a magnesium fuse.

It's not true that I link only to truther websites. In fact GutterBall criticizes me severely for linking to official websites.

Dr. Ghoniem's quote comes from an MIT paper.

Because I actually read the NIST report word for word without picking out certain words, like you do.

Where's the link that says NIST tested samples @ 250*C?

Where's the link that says FEMA had samples that got hot enough to "evaporate"?

Admit it Brian, you have no links or sources for those claims. All you're doing is producing strawmen!

You're changing from "Molten Steel" to "evaporated steel", Brian?

There's no evidence that steel can "evaporate" at a temperature of 1,800*F.

WAQ, sometimes reality is contradictory--like first it's dark, then light, first hot, then cold. Nor my fault. At least I don't find it necessary to deny reality in order to make life easy for me.

If you would bother to read FEMA Appendix C you will see that steel can under some circumstances melt at 1800 C. I expect now you will accuse me twenty times of lying before you will read the report and see that it's true.

If you would bother to read FEMA Appendix C you will see that steel can under some circumstances melt at 1800 C.

There is a difference between Celsius & Fahrenheit.

Brian, like so many Truthers, point out that Celsius is a rather low temperature.

Here's what Brian is attempting to say: 1,800 ºC = 3,272 ºF

Now if we look at the NIST report, the report says:

"NIST reported maximum upper layer air temperatures of about 1,000 degrees Celsius (1,800 degrees Fahrenheit) in the WTC towers."

Given that NIST said that the temperature inside the Towers never reached any higher than 1,800*F, Brian's claim of 1,800*C is wrong. Since the temperature inside never reached 3,272*F.

So no matter what Brian says about Celsius, it's automatically converted into Fahrenheit.

So with mathematical thinking, Brian is 100% wrong.

Carbon steel is further classified into medium carbon steel, high carbon steel and ultra-high carbon steel with melting temperature ranging from 2600-2800*F.

There wasn't melted steel. Ask any steel worker if steel can melt @ 1,800*F you pussy.

Ian, we've already been over this. Drywall sulfur is already oxidized and so it is inert. That's why it is used as fireproofing--for instance, to construct firewalls between garages and houses.

No, WAQo, yesterday it was F and today it is F. The F and the C keys are adjacent, you know.
