Reply #46: "mechanism" [View All]

[OudeVanDagen]

You have described WTC as "static" after the aircraft collision. That is not at all the case. The two tubes - the outer wall tube and the core - are not motionless. Each is moving, something called oscillation. To dampen that motion and remain upright both, BOTH tubes must dampen together.

Lightweight floor trusses topped with a few inches of concrete isn't going to tie the two tubes together and stop motion or aid dampening. The roof trusses were supposed to, that was their role and purpose, but they were unable to do it. Look at those videos. Were each of the towers of the WTC still one unit from bedrock up to the roof trusses after the collision or was there disassociation and drift? Were the roof trusses able to perform their function and dampen? No.

The motion - oscillations between the two tubes is your "mechanism."

Had you spent some time reading collapse reports pup you'd know that.

Collapse quite frankly is very simple to understand, it's not as complex as you make it to be, but you really need to do some reading.
