Exposing Falsehoods and Revealing Truths

Quantitative Comparison of (Collapse Load = Safety Factor) for a Balsa Bridge to a WTC Twin Tower - Read Text Boxes very carefully

Comment by Chuck Boldwyn, the person who did the actual Collapse Load testing of this Bridge in his classroom...

This Balsa Wood, 16 gram Bridge can top load 4,400 Bridges identical to itself before Cruch-Down Collapse. That means that the Safety Factor for the Bridge is 4,400, WOW!!, that is awesome and incredible...

Yet, according the the New York City Code for Safety Factor or Collapse Load, a WTC Twin Tower can only and minisculely top load only "5" times its own weight. Is this a "joke" or what???

Therefore the Safety Factor Ratio of the Bridge to WTC-TT is as follows:

(4,400/5) = 880 times stronger on a Safety Factor or Collapse Load basis.

Does it make any sense at all !!

Please respond to this bewildering anomoly as to why this is so or should not be so...

I believe that the safety factor of only 5 is a joke.  I believe it is much higher than that, you are correct.

 

Also, remember that the gravitational potential energy of the towers is only 1 / 100 of the energy required to pulverize the towers into their observed size of dust grains of 60 microns or so.  I've heard various commentators over the years who have done calcs . on this.  This also shows the impossible nature of a gravity collapse, since really it wasn't collapsing but being pulverized into fine dust.  

 

The entire physics of the official lie is so laughable now, that I don't know why I even believed the story for 1 minute myself on the day of 911.  In defense of myself, I was very very suspicious of everything that was transpiring that day, and my suspicions were already up by about 5 pm that day.
