THE MIRACULOUSLY CHANGING PHYSICS OF THE WTC COLLPASE Media and science establishment complicity in the crimes of Sept 11 Page 3 of 3. Go to page 1 2 The continually changing stories about the temperature in the buildings, whether the steel melted, (and who actually made that assertion to begin with) and the construction of the buildings were not the only creative science applied in attempting to defend the official story. On Sept 11, 2001 The Silicon Valley Business journal published an article called Fire not impact may have doomed trade center says prof. [[According to applied physics professor Steve Block's calculations, the amount of energy released by each plane that hit the World Trade Center was equivalent to about 1,000 tons of TNT-- or 1/20th of the energy released by the Hiroshima atomic bomb in 1945… A typical commercial Boeing 767 jet weighs about 412,000 pounds on takeoff -- including people, luggage and 24,000 gallons of fuel, he says. If you combine the energy released by the burning fuel [equivalent to about 1,000 tons of TNT] with the kinetic (motion) energy caused by the collision [equivalent to about one ton of TNT], you get the equivalent of roughly 1,001 tons (1.001 kilotons) of TNT -- or one-twentieth of the Hiroshima bomb, Mr. Block says.]] 24,000 gallons of kero equals 1000 tons of TNT ? That means that one gallon of kero equals 93.3 lbs of TNT. This of course is why the kero bomb is the choice of military forces all over the world. Why lug around 93lbs of TNT, if you can get the same effect from a one gallon can of kero ? This is why bomber aircraft rain down kerosene bombs on the enemy, causing tanks and anti-aircraft guns to sag and deform (or maybe melt). And this is why you have to very carefully watch your one gallon capacity household kerosene heater, for signs of it sagging and structurally deforming, or in case it blows up with the force of 93 lbs of TNT - like you would expect of the KSP229DT model from the Yangzhou Hurricane lnaterns co. - since it has a 4.8 litre (1.1 gallon) tank. If the US military had only realized this in 1945, then they could have saved themselves the trouble of dropping an atom bomb on Hiroshima and just dropped 20 plane loads of kero instead. The media are supposed to be able to find out things which an ordinary person with just a computer and the internet cannot. So one has to ask why, with all the talk about how a high rise building can’t be expected to survive a fire for more than an hour, that no one in the media bothered to do a little research into the previous history of fires in high rise buildings. If they had, they could have easily found this site, specializing in high rise fire situations. Notably absent is any example of a high rise building having previously collapsed from fire. And here are some examples of high rises which suffered fires worse than the WTC and still didn’t collapse. In 1990, the 102 storey empire State Building caught fire on floor 51. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm under the impression that the building is still standing. On May 4 and continuing into May 5 1998, the 62 storey First Interstate Bank building in downtown L.A. caught fire, destroying 4 floors. It didn't collapse. The 38 storey Merdian Bank Building in NY caught fire on the 22nd floor, on Feb 23, 1991. it burned for 19 hours and completely consumed 8 floors. It didn't collapse. On Nov 21 ,1996. The 16 storey Garely building in HK burnt for 20 hours in the top 3 floors before being brought under control. It didn't collapse. A "waterfront high rise" (height not specified in this report) in Florida burnt for an hour. It didn't collapse. A plane hit the empire state building in 1945, starting a fire, and considering that it was still there in 1990 to survive the next fire, I think we can safely deduce that it also didn't collapse. Shouldn’t the media have at least brought this relevant information to light and put it forward for debate as to its significance ? Here is an article containing photos of a 32 storey building in Madrid which was so engulfed in bright flames that in some photos you cannot see the building. It is literally a huge torch. It endured this for almost 24 hours. And didn’t collapse. Now compare that to the black smoke which drifted lazily from each of the WTC buildings for about an hour, before the buildings suddenly exploded while still standing. Even the Madrid fire never caused the media to revisit the question of the miraculously changing physics of the WTC collapse. |
