    The kind of managers who have been taught how to manage engineers have

    In practice means that if you have doubts the manager will make their

    choice turns out to have been the wrong one.

    One particularly irritating clown thought that design reviews were a
    waste of time, and sent out circuit designs that had been completed by sub-contractors for sub-contract printed circuit layout without letting
    me check that the circuit design actually satisfied the specification
    that I had written.

    I got to review the printed circuit layouts on site, but I didn't get an opportunity to work through the circuit's functionality until we'd got
    the board pretty much working, and could see where the sub-contractors detailed design has slipped up.

    The claims that you have been making - like the Twin Towers falling

    WTC7 is a usual outlier to otherwise the "Jones" theory versus

    Stephan Jones was a proponent of a theory, that can't possibly be true.

    Jones assumed, that the WTC buildings were destroyed by explosions of
    nano-thermite.

    But the buildings didn't explode!

    Thermite isn't an explosive. It just burns and gets very hot.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermite

    What really happened that was far stranger than mini-nukes or
    nanothermite:

    The twin towers simply 'dustified' in mid-air and vanished.

    It would have been very strange if it had happened. I've not seen
    anybody sane claim that it did. The concrete got hot as the towers
    burned, and got smashed into small rubble as each floor fell down on the floor below as the steel frames got hot and failed. There was a great
    deal of dust around after the Twin Towers had fallen down, so by no
    means all of it "vanished"˙ - if any of it did

    Since Stephan Jones was also the expert for cold-fusion of the
    Department of Energy, I assumed, that Jones knew what had happened and
    wanted to divert the attention away from cold fusion.
    ...

    Cold fusion is weird - not because of anything it has been observed to
    do, but because people have kept on looking at it since 1989 when Pons
    and Fleischmann first reported it. I'd run into Martin Fleischmann when
    I was post-doc at Southampton 1971-73, and he was a professor there and
    he was perfectly respectable electrochemist back then.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_fusion

    The proposition that it might have destroyed the Twin Towers is
    definitely lunacy.


    I have not said, that the WTC was destroyed by cold fusion.

    I actually assumed a 'weaponised' version of the so called 'Hutchison
    effect' (similar to John Hutchison himself, together with Tom Beardon
    and Judy Wood).

    But possibly Stephan Jones assumed it was 'cold fusion', because he was
    an expert in that topic and that might eventually have looked a little similar.

    Then: in an effort to protect his alleged masters, he inventent a
    nonsense theory of nano-thermite-explosions (that was my guess).

    This theory cannot possibly be true, because there was no explosion and
    the actual effect was also far stranger than cold fusion could possibly
    had been.

    So, material objects with a mass larger than 20 to of steel and
    concrete 'dustified' in mid air and were blown away.

    They got broken up in a series of smaller collisions, as each floor
    fell onto the floor below it, and got further broken up by each
    impact in succession.

    That's not how things fall, if they hit something hard below.

    If you would drop something breakable from some height upon something
    breakable, but with high resistance against breaks, you would expect
    a different pattern:

    the upper part of a collision would cause breaks in the parts below,
    but also breaks of the same kind in itself, because the both parts
    were assumed to have the same strength.

    What happened to the Twin Towers was that the towers caught on fire and
    got hot, weakening both the steel frame and the concrete.

    When they got weak enough the Towers collapsed, floor by floor. About
    the only stuff that fell a long way were the supporting columns, which leaned way from the building and eventually fell outwards, hitting
    adjacent building. Each floor collapsed inwards, stopping at the next
    floor (but not for long) before the next floor failed

    If we concentrate on the upper part only (for a moment), we would
    expect parts of the falling piece to splinter off and fall partly
    outside of the former building shape, hence would fall in free fall
    outside down to the ground.

    Why? It's all tied together by a steel frame, which may be failing,
    But stuff isn't going to "splinter off". There don't seem to be any
    reports of that.

    The entire neighborhood of the twin-towers got struck by large sections
    of the perimeterwalls.

    Some of these sections were HUGE and hit neighboring buildings up to
    several hundred meters away (like e.g. bulting WTC 7).

    That's why the assumption of simple free fall drop wasn't unlikely at all.

    Doesn't matter that much, what percentage would break of the upper
    part, because at least some parts would do that.

    An unsupported assumption.

    WHAT???

    If a building collapses under the own gravity, it is actually VERY
    likely, that the pieces fall down to the ground in one way or the other.

    But even at the height of the actual impact zones, sections of the
    perimeter wall of the twin towers would fall down with enormous mass
    and velocity.

    I saw it happen on TV. They didn't.

    No, they didn't.

    But isn't that astonishing??

    I mean: you drop a piece of the enromous buildings composed from steel
    and concrete and a weight of a locomotive from a skyscraper.

    And it didn't hit the ground!

    Instead it turned to dust in mid-air and gets blown away.

    If you would think, that such a behavior is 'natural', you were a
    hopeless case.


    IoW: possibly you were right and not that many 'cannon balls' or
    'fright trains' would have hit the ground, but certainly some.

    Why "certainly"?

    Well, in 'collapse under the own weight' I would see an influence of
    Earth' gravity.

    What gravity 'really' is, that is not perfectly understood. But at least
    we know, that gravity makes unsupported things drop down.

    As we have some confidence in gravity, we could assume with certainty,
    that heavy objects do not float in the air.

    But apparently this didn't happen, because every single of those
    sections of the perimeter walls would have pierced through the street
    level like a hot knife though butter.

    Really?

    The kinetic energy and the momentum of falling debris would have been enormous.

    E.g. a piece of 'moderate' mass (by WTC standards) would have, say, 20 to.

    If dropped from a hight of 400 m it would have a kinetic energie at
    ground level of about 78.000.000 Joules.

    That is just enormous and about five times the kinetic energy of an
    artillery shell.


    In this didn't happen, because the street level was mainly intact.

    You could easily see that, if you look at any pictures of the
    aftermath of 9/11, which show the remains of the twin-towers.

    E.g. you can see, if you look carefully, remains of fire-trucks and
    other cars in the rubble, which remained astonishingly undamaged. For
    instance some had still unbroken windows.

    This wouldn't be possible, if a just screw-driver would fall from
    that height, let alone sections of the perimeter wall, weighing more
    then 20 tons.

    A screw driver has a rather low terminal velocity. A human falling from
    any height can't reach a terminal velocity above about 190km/hour.

    It the perimeter wall broken up into less massive pieces - only 10 or
    20kgm - they'd have a lower terminal velocity.

    Sure, but the pieces hadn't.

    The twintowers were build from-steel beams with insane masses,

    These steel-beams had thick wall and large dimensions.

    There ware also used in groups of beams in the perimeterwalls and were
    welded together.

    A few kg are just not the rigth dimensions for the sections of the walls.

    These sections had masses well over twenty to.


    <snipped calculations about imagined fragments>

    But each tower consisted of more than half a million tons, hence not
    only one piece would fall down, but more than 25.000 pieces.

    You'd like each piece to have weighed about 20 tons, but you haven't explained why it should have.


    Well, we usually have smaller pieces and larger pieces and some sort of
    mean 'piece-size'.

    20 to was just a guess. But you could chose other sizes, if you like.

    How about 10 to?

    all that self-confident - he'd take me too seriously. My ideas were
    mostly pretty good, but the risk of a pretty good idea displacing a

    A building catches on fire and falls down. What's strange about that?
    It was an unusually large building, and the fires got started when two
    fuelled up jet-airlines flew into the building, but that's where the strangeness stops.

    You trying to tell us that they fell down in 10 seconds was pretty
    strange, but if probably comes from the fact that an object in free fall falling for the top of building would have taken ten seconds to reach
    the ground. One of the towers had to burn for an hour and three
    quarters before it collapsed, and the other only had to burn for an
    hour. You managed to ignore those inconvenient facts - which makes it
    clear that you don't a particularly firm grasp of reality.

    So, material objects with a mass larger than 20 to of steel and
    concrete 'dustified' in mid air and were blown away.

    They got broken up in a series of smaller collisions, as each floor >>>>> fell onto the floor below it, and got further broken up by each
    impact in succession.

    That's not how things fall, if they hit something hard below.

    If you would drop something breakable from some height upon
    something breakable, but with high resistance against breaks, you
    would expect a different pattern:

    the upper part of a collision would cause breaks in the parts below,
    but also breaks of the same kind in itself, because the both parts
    were assumed to have the same strength.

    What happened to the Twin Towers was that the towers caught on fire
    and got hot, weakening both the steel frame and the concrete.

    When they got weak enough the Towers collapsed, floor by floor. About
    the only stuff that fell a long way were the supporting columns, which
    leaned way from the building and eventually fell outwards, hitting
    adjacent building. Each floor collapsed inwards, stopping at the next
    floor (but not for long) before the next floor failed

    If we concentrate on the upper part only (for a moment), we would
    expect parts of the falling piece to splinter off and fall partly
    outside of the former building shape, hence would fall in free fall
    outside down to the ground.

    Why? It's all tied together by a steel frame, which may be failing,
    But stuff isn't going to "splinter off". There don't seem to be any
    reports of that.

    The entire neighborhood of the twin-towers got struck by large sections
    of the perimeter walls.

    That's not the way I read the reports. One the steel holding each floor
    in place started giving way - from the top because the building was on
    fire hot air rises - the top floor fell onto the floor below, which then
    fell onto the floor below a little later. Those two floors then loaded
    up the third floor so it failed even more rapidly, and so forth down to ground.

    This left the supporting columns around the outside of the building disconnected from one another and they started swaying and eventually
    fell sideways, hitting adjacent buildings. They were studtural columns,
    not perimeter walls

    Some of these sections were HUGE and hit neighboring buildings up to
    several hundred meters away (like e.g. building WTC 7).

    A 400 meter long column is pretty big, and there were quite a few of them.

    That's why the assumption of simple free fall drop wasn't unlikely at all.

    Not so much unlikely as inappropriate.

    Doesn't matter that much, what percentage would break of the upper
    part, because at least some parts would do that.

    An unsupported assumption.

    WHAT???

    If a building collapses under the own gravity, it is actually VERY
    likely, that the pieces fall down to the ground in one way or the other.

    But not necessarily in large chunks.

    But even at the height of the actual impact zones, sections of the
    perimeter wall of the twin towers would fall down with enormous mass
    and velocity.

    I saw it happen on TV. They didn't.

    No, they didn't.

    But isn't that astonishing??

    Only if you have preconceived and unrealistic ideas about how a burning steel-frame building building might fall down.

    I mean: you drop a piece of the enormous buildings composed from steel
    and concrete and a weight of a locomotive from a skyscraper.

    You don't drop it. It falls off, largely because the steel has got hot
    enough to let the frame come apart

    And it didn't hit the ground!

    Of course it did. Just not in the way that you like to imagine.

    Instead it turned to dust in mid-air and gets blown away.

    Some of it did. More of it got turned into loose rubble and got moved
    sideways on the way down by the air-currents that circulate quite fast
    around a burning building

    If you would think, that such a behavior is 'natural', you were a
    hopeless case.

    That doesn't seem to be the behavior that was actually observed

    IoW: possibly you were right and not that many 'cannon balls' or
    'fright trains' would have hit the ground, but certainly some.

    Why "certainly"?

    Well, in 'collapse under the own weight' I would see an influence of
    Earth' gravity.

    The problem is that you are fixated on the building coming apart into
    large chunks. The individual floors stayed more or less in one piece but
    they fell straight down,and ended up as thick stack on the ground level.

    What gravity 'really' is, that is not perfectly understood. But at least
    we know, that gravity makes unsupported things drop down.

    But they tend to fall straight down, not whizzing off in random directions.

    As we have some confidence in gravity, we could assume with certainty,
    that heavy objects do not float in the air.

    But apparently this didn't happen, because every single of those
    sections of the perimeter walls would have pierced through the
    street level like a hot knife though butter.

    Really?

    The kinetic energy and the momentum of falling debris would have been enormous.

    E.g. a piece of 'moderate' mass (by WTC standards) would have, say, 20 to.

    If dropped from a hight of 400 m it would have a kinetic energie at
    ground level of about 78.000.000 Joules.

    That is just enormous and about five times the kinetic energy of an artillery shell.


    In this didn't happen, because the street level was mainly intact.

    You could easily see that, if you look at any pictures of the
    aftermath of 9/11, which show the remains of the twin-towers.

    E.g. you can see, if you look carefully, remains of fire-trucks and
    other cars in the rubble, which remained astonishingly undamaged.
    For instance some had still unbroken windows.

    This wouldn't be possible, if a just screw-driver would fall from
    that height, let alone sections of the perimeter wall, weighing more
    then 20 tons.

    A screw driver has a rather low terminal velocity. A human falling
    from any height can't reach a terminal velocity above about 190km/hour.

    It the perimeter wall broken up into less massive pieces - only 10 or
    20kgm - they'd have a lower terminal velocity.

    Sure, but the pieces hadn't.

    The twintowers were build from-steel beams with insane masses,

    These steel-beams had thick wall and large dimensions.

    But they had to be hauled up into place. The cranes that lift them up
    from ground level limit the maximum mass of each component part, and
    they do have to be forced into exactly the right positions before they
    can be welded together.

    Once it was all assembled there might have been an insane mass of steel
    up there, but it wasn't prefabricated in particularly large chunks.

    There ware also used in groups of beams in the perimeter walls and were welded together.

    But the fire would have weakened those welds.

    A few kg are just not the right dimensions for the sections of the walls.

    These sections had masses well over twenty to.

    <snipped calculations about imagined fragments>

    But each tower consisted of more than half a million tons, hence not
    only one piece would fall down, but more than 25.000 pieces.

    You'd like each piece to have weighed about 20 tons, but you haven't
    explained why it should have.

    Well, we usually have smaller pieces and larger pieces and some sort of
    mean 'piece-size'.

    But you do have to have a reason for selecting a particular mass
    distribution for the fragments.It is the sort of thing that should show
    up in the documentation of the disaster.

    fire hot air rises - the top floor fell onto the floor below, which then fell onto the floor below a little later. Those two floors then loaded
    up the third floor so it failed even more rapidly, and so forth down to ground.

    I'm mainly a 'visual person' and prefer to look at pictures.

    So, I ask google for pictures by typing in something like 'aftermath of
    9/11 debris', click on the 'pictures' tab and scan through the results.

    Then I find a picture, which shows a very large piece of the perimeter
    walls, which pierced inside an adjacent building.

    I estimate the mass to about 20 to and have something, to prove you wrong.

    This left the supporting columns around the outside of the building disconnected from one another and they started swaying and eventually
    fell sideways, hitting adjacent buildings. They were studtural columns,
    not perimeter walls

    You should adjust your understanding of the term 'falling' to something,
    which is directed downwards.

    'adjacent' means actually not 'downwords', but 'sideways'.

    It is among the more astonighing aspects of the distribution of the
    debris, that quite a few pieces 'fell' actually sideways.

    Some of these sections were HUGE and hit neighboring buildings up to
    several hundred meters away (like e.g. building WTC 7).

    A 400 meter long column is pretty big, and there were quite a few of them.

    No!!!

    These huge beams were bolted and welded together from much shorter pieces.

    That's why the assumption of simple free fall drop wasn't unlikely at
    all.

    Not so much unlikely as inappropriate.

    Why?

    I mean: gravity acts downwards, hence things tend to fall down.

    Doesn't matter that much, what percentage would break of the upper
    part, because at least some parts would do that.

    An unsupported assumption.

    WHAT???

    If a building collapses under the own gravity, it is actually VERY
    likely, that the pieces fall down to the ground in one way or the other.

    But not necessarily in large chunks.

    You could SEE these large chunks on several photos.

    But even at the height of the actual impact zones, sections of the
    perimeter wall of the twin towers would fall down with enormous
    mass and velocity.

    I saw it happen on TV. They didn't.

    No, they didn't.

    But isn't that astonishing??

    Only if you have preconceived and unrealistic ideas about how a burning steel-frame building building might fall down.

    You're right...

    ... supposed steel would burn!

    I mean: you drop a piece of the enormous buildings composed from steel
    and concrete and a weight of a locomotive from a skyscraper.

    You don't drop it. It falls off, largely because the steel has got hot enough to let the frame come apart
    Sure, that would happen.

    But still these parts would have masses of several tons each.

    What we encountered instead were tiny droplets in the range of microns.

    That is quite a different story!

    And it didn't hit the ground!

    Of course it did. Just not in the way that you like to imagine.

    These tiny droplets were actually blown away by the wind.

    And, yes, I didn't expect that.

    Instead it turned to dust in mid-air and gets blown away.

    Some of it did. More of it got turned into loose rubble and got moved sideways on the way down by the air-currents that circulate quite fast around a burning building

    Some did, but we were expecting ten-thousands of massive pieces and not
    just a few.

    If you would think, that such a behavior is 'natural', you were a
    hopeless case.

    That doesn't seem to be the behavior that was actually observed

    If you don't believe, that most of the debris was blown away, than you
    should say to where it actually went.

    It didn't fell upon the WTC-plaza, because the street level was mainly undamaged. (you could actually see cars in the rubble, which had
    unbroken windows!)

    It wasn't in the basement, because there exist videos, where firemen and rescue workers marched through all the floors of the basement and have
    not been hindered by any material there.

    So: where did the millions of tons of debris go? (estimated mass was 1.6 millions tons)

    23 micron diameter dust doesn't fall fast.

    It wasn't in the basement, because there exist videos, where firemen and rescue workers marched through all the floors of the basement and have

    That was taken in the hour so before the building collapsed.

    So: where did the millions of tons of debris go? (estimated mass was 1.6 millions tons)

    Most of it ended up stacked in floor-by-floor layers in the basement.
    The buildings actually collapsed floor by floor, from the top down.
    Nothing fell all that fast because it fell in floor by floor stages.

    The vertical columns that supported the building didn't. They bent
    sideways as the floor beams that had linked them together fell down onto
    the floor below, and eventually bent far enough to fall down, but only
    after bending quite a long way from the vertical.

    You need to look and identify, what you can see on that particular picture:

    you see three men with helmets, that do some stuff (what that is is
    actually irrelevant here) and lean upon a huge piece of reinforced concrete.

    They stand apparently on street level and on a surface which is covered
    with some remains of the twin-towers.

    More interesting is the building in the background, left of these three men.

    In front of that building an excavator (with the sign 'Yannuzi') is
    collecting steel pieces from a huge pile of rubble.

    Above that excavator is a huge section of the perimeter walls of one of
    the twin towers, that pierced through the facade of that building.

    All windows of that building are seemingly broken.

    The remaining structural steel elements look rusty and the facade is
    covered with something dark, which looks like soot.


    This would allow us several questions:


    what caused that 'soot'?

    why are ALL windows broken?

    why is the pile of rubble in front of that building, which didn't belong
    to the WTC-complex and not where these men stand (what is most likely
    much closer to the former towers)?

    why were these men able to stand on street level and not upon a pile of
    rubble several meters high? (IOW: why is there that little rubble?)

    what made these steel beams rust over night?

    Encasing steel beams in concrete doesn't stop them rusting. It they'd

    But what do you think it is telling you?

    You see hundreds of parts of the former perimeter-walls, each in the
    ranger of more than 20 to, lying outside the WTC-plaza.

    You see lumps of concrete - you don't know where they came from or how
    much they weigh.

    Actually I don't know, what that strange building was, but it didn't
    belong to the WTC complex.

    Because the sections of the perimeter walls are easy to identify by
    their very special shape, we know, that these pieces flew from the
    twin-towers to where they were found on the next day.

    And what shape was that?

    The sections of the perimeter walls were pre-fabricated and lifted to
    their position with cranes. There the large pieces were bolted together
    and later welded.

    The sections looked more or less similar and consisted of a number of
    vertical and horizontal steel beams.

    If you see such pieces in the rubble, you know with certainty that they
    came from one of the twin towers.

    From where they came exactly is hard to say, because these sections
    were build mainly equally. If there were any differences at all would
    be a good question. But at least I don't know about any differences.

    Therefore you only know, that they stem from the outer perimeter walls
    of one of the towers.

    The mass was roughly twenty tons each (sorry, but I actually don't know
    the exact weight).


    This would allow us to reject the claim, that these pieces didn't fall
    down, because you can clearly see numerous of these pieces on that
    picture.

    But you don't know what they are or where they came from. You want them
    to be sections of the perimeter wall, but simple assertion doesn't hack it.


    I know what the were, but not were they have been before, because these sections were mainly equal.

    Don't know if there were significant differencers, which would allow to identify the individual piece.

    It was strange, however, that these pieces flew that far and remained
    there, while the much more logical place to fall upon (WTC-Plaza)
    wasn't hit as much as that building, which apparently belonged to the
    harbor of New York.

    There are also sections of the twin towers, that pierced through the
    walls of adjacent buildings.

    They were the vertical structural columns, which tilted over as they
    fell down, after the steel links in the floors of each storey failed and dump each floor onto the floor below

    Sure, ssomething like that...

    BUT: why didn't twenty ton massive pieces of steel with a velocity of up
    to 350 km/h damage the ground level of the WTC-plaza????


    That was a VERY unusual habbit!!!

    Instead of piercing through the floor, these sectitions pierced through
    the facades of adjacent buildings and remained intakt outside of the WTC-Plaza, while turning into fine dust inside that WTC-area.

    THAT was INSANELY surreal!!!

    If you want to speed up a chemical reaction, get the reagents hot.

    The Twin Towers fell down because the fire started by crashing the jet

    Well, possibly...

    But adjacent buildings were not hit by planes and didn't burn.

    E.g. have a look at this picture:

    https://www.redcross.org/content/dam/redcross/local/news-articles/greater-new-york/1-36484-003-1000x1213.jpg

    Here you can see a building, which wasn't hit by a plane, but is quite
    rusty.

    This means, that rust appeared almost instantly.

    There were also these 'half-burned cars', where the burned side was also
    very rusty, while the other half of the same car was still undamaged.

    That was all VERY strange!

    My current guess:

    there was an invisible field in action (possibly 'scalar waves'), which
    was tuned to resonate with steel and concrete.

    This was centered around the twin-towers and was able to turn
    Steel-beams into fine dust and less resonant steel at least into rust.

    That was something like a HUGE 'microwave oven', which turned the large buildings into molten metal and dust and cars and other stuff into rust.

    What was entirely unharmed was apparently paper, which managed to fly
    away from the towers, while the metal cabinets these papers were stored
    turned into dust.

    You would certainly agree, that the twintowers actually collapsed.

    So: 'what was up had to come down' (in one way or the other), because steel-beams are not supposed to stay floating in the sky.

    We could discuss the size of the pieces, but not the total mass and the
    hight, from where these pieces had to come down.

    Each tower was made from roughly 600,000 to of material.

    So, it we had, say, ten-thousand pieces, each piece would have a mass of
    60 tonns.

    That's a little large, so lets assume 30,000 pieces of debris (per tower).

    That would give us an average of 20 to per piece.

    But by looking at the pile of the rubble, there haven't been 30,000
    pieces of an average of 20 to in each of the piles.

    I would say, there were less the ten-thousand pieces of such a mass,
    possibly far less (in both piles combined!).

    But, if you prefer that, we could also assume 40,000 pieces with an
    average mass of 15 to or 60,000 pieces weighing on average 10 tonns each.

    What would you prefer?

    That was a VERY unusual habit!!!

    Nobody makes a habit of dropping twenty ton pieces of steel from the
    tops of very tall buildings. It is anti-social and discouraged.

    You are absolute right and nobody would drop such piece intentionally
    from such a height.

    But we're not talking about intentions, but about the collase of a
    skyscraper. This did happen and therefore we need to assume, that the
    pieces fell down some way.


    Instead of piercing through the floor, these sections pierced through
    the facades of adjacent buildings and remained intact outside of the
    WTC-Plaza, while turning into fine dust inside that WTC-area.

    The columns didn't drop vertically - they swayed out of the vertical and eventually swayed far enough to fall over, but the sway meant that they didn't fall freely or vertically.

    Sure, but the pieces 'falling' sideways had enough kinetic energy to
    pierce through the steel structures of adjacent buildings.

    So: why didn't they cut through the floor level of the WTC-Plaza???

    There the kinetic energy would be even higher.

    THAT was INSANELY surreal!!!

    The insanity is all in your insistence on imaging what might have been

    Well, I was never in New York and all I have are such pictures.

    Therefore, I can only used pictures of independent sources.

    This is certainly not evidence in a classical sense. But you could
    easily obtain similar pictures from other source and could choose, whom

    Because the sections of the perimeter walls are easy to identify by >>>>> their very special shape, we know, that these pieces flew from the

    And what shape was that?

    The sections of the perimeter walls were pre-fabricated and lifted to
    their position with cranes. There the large pieces were bolted
    together and later welded.

    The sections looked more or less similar and consisted of a number of
    vertical and horizontal steel beams.

    If you see such pieces in the rubble, you know with certainty that
    they came from one of the twin towers.

    ˙From where they came exactly is hard to say, because these sections
    were build mainly equally.˙ If there were any differences at all
    would be a good question. But at least I don't know about any
    differences.

    Therefore you only know, that they stem from the outer perimeter
    walls of one of the towers.

    The mass was roughly twenty tons each (sorry, but I actually don't
    know the exact weight).


    This would allow us to reject the claim, that these pieces didn't
    fall down, because you can clearly see numerous of these pieces on
    that picture.

    But you don't know what they are or where they came from. You want
    them to be sections of the perimeter wall, but simple assertion
    doesn't hack it.


    I know what the were, but not were they have been before, because
    these sections were mainly equal.

    Don't know if there were significant differencers, which would allow
    to identify the individual piece.

    It was strange, however, that these pieces flew that far and
    remained there, while the much more logical place to fall upon
    (WTC- Plaza) wasn't hit as much as that building, which apparently
    belonged to the harbor of New York.

    There are also sections of the twin towers, that pierced through
    the walls of adjacent buildings.

    They were the vertical structural columns, which tilted over as they
    fell down, after the steel links in the floors of each storey failed
    and dumped each floor onto the floor below

    Sure, something like that...

    BUT: why didn't twenty ton massive pieces of steel with a velocity of
    up to 350 km/h˙ damage the ground level of the WTC-plaza????

    Probably because there weren't any twenty ton massive pieces of steel
    falling freely from the top of world Trade Centre.

    You would certainly agree, that the twintowers actually collapsed.

    So: 'what was up had to come down' (in one way or the other), because steel-beams are not supposed to stay floating in the sky.

    We could discuss the size of the pieces, but not the total mass and the hight, from where these pieces had to come down.

    Each tower was made from roughly 600,000 to of material.

    So, it we had, say, ten-thousand pieces, each piece would have a mass of
    60 tonns.

    That's a little large, so lets assume 30,000 pieces of debris (per tower).

    That would give us an average of 20 to per piece.

    But by looking at the pile of the rubble, there haven't been 30,000
    pieces of an average of 20 to in each of the piles.

    I would say, there were less the ten-thousand pieces of such a mass, possibly far less (in both piles combined!).

    But, if you prefer that, we could also assume 40,000 pieces with an
    average mass of 15 to or 60,000 pieces weighing on average 10 tonns each.

    What would you prefer?

    That was a VERY unusual habit!!!

    Nobody makes a habit of dropping twenty ton pieces of steel from the
    tops of very tall buildings. It is anti-social and discouraged.

    You are absolute right and nobody would drop such piece intentionally
    from such a height.

    But we're not talking about intentions, but about the collase of a skyscraper. This did happen and therefore we need to assume, that the
    pieces fell down some way.


    Instead of piercing through the floor, these sections pierced through
    the facades of adjacent buildings and remained intact outside of the
    WTC-Plaza, while turning into fine dust inside that WTC-area.

    The columns didn't drop vertically - they swayed out of the vertical
    and eventually swayed far enough to fall over, but the sway meant that
    they didn't fall freely or vertically.

    Sure, but the pieces 'falling' sideways had enough kinetic energy to
    pierce through the steel structures of adjacent buildings.

    The top of the column moved further sideways that the bits closer to the ground. I'd imagine that the columns lost the their lateral support from
    the top down - as each floor fell down onto the one below it, the tops vertical columns would splay out a bit further until the residual
    stiffness wasn't enough to constrain the lateral motion and they'd go
    from being bent to being u-shaped with what had the top now hitting the ground.

    So: why didn't they cut through the floor level of the WTC-Plaza???

    Because they went sideways before they went down.

    There the kinetic energy would be even higher.

    A lot of it went into bending the columns

    THAT was INSANELY surreal!!!

    The insanity is all in your insistence on imaging what might have been
    going on, rather than trying to find out.


    Well, I was never in New York and all I have are such pictures.

    Therefore, I can only used pictures of independent sources.

    This is certainly not evidence in a classical sense. But you could
    easily obtain similar pictures from other source and could choose, whom
    you trust more.

    You need lots of pictures - and some sense of what was going on - before
    you can make sense of them. Making nonsense of them takes a lot less effort.

    <snipped lots of wishful thinking>

    what made these steel beams rust overnight?

    Encasing steel beams in concrete doesn't stop them rusting. It
    they'd been bare, the fire would have stripped off any corrosion
    protection they had, and got them hot enough to encourage rather
    rapid oxidation.


    'Rapid rust' was among the strangest things happening at 9/11!

    MANY massive steel items collected rusted almost instantly. That were
    not only steel beems of adjacent buildings, but lots of other items
    collected rust very fast.

    That was a VERY (!!) unusual phenomenon.

    Usually it can take weeks for bare steel to rust, even in 'hostile'
    environments.

    If you want to speed up a chemical reaction, get the reagents hot.

    The Twin Towers fell down because the fire started by crashing the jet
    planes into the buildings got hot enough to weaken the steel frames.
    It also got them hot enough to rust remarkably rapidly.

    Well, possibly...

    But adjacent buildings were not hit by planes and didn't burn.

    E.g. have a look at this picture:

    https://www.redcross.org/content/dam/redcross/local/news-articles/greater-new-york/1-36484-003-1000x1213.jpg

    Here you can˙ see a building, which wasn't hit by a plane, but is quite rusty.

    It was hit by the fire in adjacent building. A burning building tends to
    heat up adjacent building - radiant heat is the obvious mechanism, but
    flames are moving hot air.

    This means, that rust appeared almost instantly.

    The steel got hot, and rusted rapidly. High temperatures do make
    chemical reactions (like steel oxidising to rust) go fast.

    There were also these 'half-burned cars', where the burned side was also very rusty, while the other half of the same car was still undamaged.

    Radiant heat works that way.

    That was all VERY strange!

    Less strange if you knew more.

    My current guess:

    there was an invisible field in action (possibly 'scalar waves'), which
    was tuned to resonate with steel and concrete.

    The was a perfectly visible field of radiant heat.

    This was centered around the twin-towers and was able to turn
    Steel-beams into fine dust and less resonant steel at least into rust.

    It's a candidate for silly idea of the year, but the competition is fierce.

    That was something like a HUGE 'microwave oven', which turned the large buildings into molten metal and dust and cars and other stuff into rust.

    Burning building are more like regular ovens. You burn the fittings in
    the building in the old-fashioned way - like feeding chunks of wood into
    a wood stove - and that generates heat.

    What was entirely unharmed was apparently paper, which managed to fly
    away from the towers, while the metal cabinets these papers were stored turned into dust.

    Fires generate air currents and not all of the air sucked in finds
    something to burn. Loose paper can get blown away (though most of it
    will have got burnt up).

    You see a fireman and a police car, which is standing on the street near
    the ruins of one of the WTC-buildings.

    The police car is hardly damaged and there was almost no debris and you
    can clearly see the street level.

    This means:
    the remains of that destroyed building didn't fall outside of the
    buildings own footprint.

    This fact alone is extremely strange, because this would mean, that the building had mainly vanished without a trace.

    This is another picture with strange content: https://cdn.abcotvs.com/dip/images/291530_AP01091105609.jpg

    It shows rows of parking cars, with remains of the perimeter walls of
    the twintowers inbetween the cars.

    But the cars had still windows, which were covered with dust, but were
    not broken.

    Now: such a huge steel beam could break the windscreen of any car with
    ease, even if it didn't drop from more than a meter.

    So, why didn't the windows break?

    Or his page:

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-58512318

    There you can see a picture, which shows car inside the rubble of one of
    the towers.

    These cars looked quite undamaged, if you take into account, that just recently the remains of the largest building in the world fell upon them.

    Or that issue:
    lots and lots of unburned paper in the streets, while none of the filing cabinets remained:

    https://www.bu.edu/files/2021/09/resize-3905155592_0d38904c5e_o.jpg

    How did that happen?

    I mean, if you melt the cabinets, the paper should be burnt (at least a little).

    You do seem have a remarkably defective grasp of reality. Many of the engineering managers I've run into have the same kind of problem -
    perhaps the training you get is designed to instill this defect?
