Physics would not have them falling into a greater radius than they did.

If you were a construction foreman, as I am, you would understand that the connections that hold a modern building are merely 2 1/2 times strength to withstand windload and live load, greater in earthquake zones.

As for physics, well, [i]almost[/i] everyone understands that things fall straight down towards the center of the earth.

For good measure let's also realize that 1500 architects and engineers represent about 1% of that profession, interesting as well as that number matches the insanity rate of the general population.

Correction: 1% of that profession that have the GUTS to state their opinion despite potential reprisal personally & professionally.

Let me summarize so you can understand:  they have courage and conviction, you're a coward.

Bingo! It's hard to blame them with the number that speak out that meet untimely deaths.

Original Message Tower 1 - 1700 feet tall
Boeing 767 - 180 feet long
Ratio ~10:1
Speed at impact - 500 mph

Human - 72 inches tall
Arizona iced tea aluminum can - 7 inches tall
Ration ~10:1
Speed at impact - 50 mph

Building 7 - 741 ft
Proportion to Tower 1 - ~2:1

Experiment: If I throw a mostly empty iced tea can at some average height guy at a speed slower than your average softball pitch, will he implode into his own footprint?

Variable: How about if I fill it with gasoline and light it on fire first?

Expected outcome: I'd expect that he would collapse into his own size 10 footprint, since he doesn't have a reinforced steel structure like the mighty Tower 1...

Covariate: And if Vern Troyer (2:1) just happened to be standing a few hundred feet away, will he also collapse into his own size 3 footprint in some previously unknown form of sympathetic physics?

The point:

Who are you going to believe: nameless, faceless disinfo agents and propaganda on the World Wide Web (of lies), or 1,835 Architects & Engineers publicly staking their reputations solely for the purposes of seeking truth? [link to www.ae911truth.org]
