Reply #22: multiple floor fragmentation is uniform & level ?? [View All]

[OudeVanDagen]

Your "collapse wave" is called fragmentation - the tale end of the collapse sequences.

I disagree with your "how uniform and level" assessments because irregular debris coming from multiple floors is what's really happening.

What's your hang-up with venting? Is it because this common occurrence defines those squibs and explains away the CT obsession with explosive detonations for a controlled demolition? Venting isn't real? Some reports call it blow-out, but I choose not to use that term in these forums. I'm not pulling your leg. Geez, am I allowed to use 'pull?'

Don't believe the collapse sequence as I described, do you? I guess you prefer the hammer on static situation making mush theory. I know you think I'm making this stuff up, so print me out and bring it to another engineer.
