Reply #34: What happened to the core columns [View All]

[Tony Szamboti]

Mr. Seger,

Your above explanation does not explain the core column collapses.

Additionally, to expect the entire upper block exterior to fit inside the lower block's interior is folly and attests to the serious problems any apologetics for the present official explanation for the NYC building collapses are currently having.

We have shown how the Balzac-Vitry building's upper block experienced a real deceleration upon impact with it's lower block. This deceleration is not present in the fall of the upper block of WTC 1 and without it there is no mechanism for a natural collapse. There is a reason Dr. Bazant said there had to be a powerful jolt. It is because he knew that would be the only mechanism which could cause an amplification of the statically insufficient load above to overcome the columns below which were only loaded to at most 30% of their capacity. Unfortunately, Dr. Bazant did not measure the fall of the upper block to find evidence of his theorized jolt.
