It's also pretty interesting when you take note of those nations that are 'friendly' to us. Some of them are 'friendly' because they've already been conquered by us. :) So, we are 'boxing in' who? China? N. Korea? Africa? Brazil? Argentina? Chile? R...  [Read More]

Great find, Arcesious. Maps only tell you part of the story though. History (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_military_history_events) helps to flesh out some of what maps alone cannot....  [Read More]

No, they happen simultaneously. Again, this is where your refusal to familiarize yourself with the subject does you a disservice. Physics.If the upper portions of the building remained intact, I might think that you had a point. However since they d...  [Read More]

collapse A The part below the crashed plane collapses top-to-bottom (destruction happens at the top) due to its mass bearing on itself, gravitating down and creating pressure from above. This part of the building is not moving itself, it's height de...  [Read More]

I would also like to recommend Zeitgeist. You can watch it for free at Zeitgeistmovie.com I've seen parts of it. I don't care for very much for the style in which is was done. If that sounds snobbish, let me expand by saying that I found it incredibl...  [Read More]

No, but it does however help me understand you, and helps make it so I don't have to ask the question later on. However, if you would like me to do so, just let me know. ;) Ah, ok. In that case, I've seen each of the Loose Change films, Painful Dece...  [Read More]

.8 seconds doesn't seem like much, but at that distance, it's a lot. .8 seconds assuming that it fell in a vacuum (which we know it did not). As I pointed out earlier, a half second of resistance per floor would have produced a collapse that took 55...  [Read More]

Regarding the physical model of the collapse, the upper floors collapsed separately. You can also see that in the sequences. The model of the collapse as introduced in the document from #126 underlines this pretty clear as well. (Figs. 1 and 2) What...  [Read More]

Nope. Both sticks had the same total height, yet one has a 99 metres shorter way down. An analogy applicable to the towers' collapse. Considering that the upper floors collapsed too, I'm having a great deal of difficulty understanding why you think t...  [Read More]

Huh? The point is that the height you are using for your free ware tool is simply false. You assume that the fall started at the tower's height, which it did not, which I try to explain now since ages. Actually, did. The buildings did not magically l...  [Read More]

So, they bombed away all floors below the plane so the top would crush down unstopped? I'm inclined to clarify what you mean by "they" and "bombed", but I think this is a sufficiently accurate synopsis of the argument. I'll take...  [Read More]

How is it free fall when there's constantly something you fall on?Unless there isn't something to fall on. Like if the something that was supposed to be there had suddenly been removed, as if by explosives. But let's remove the building altogether...  [Read More]
