"couldn't get the towers (in computer simulations) to fall as they did on 9/11"

only proves that the 'simulations', did not reflect reality, as many simulations are well known to not do.



"they didn't topple, they fell straight down"

Trees topple, but they are a unit structure, acting as a lever: no joins! Tall chimneys START to topple, then the forces break them apart and they stop rotating as a lever and the bits fall straight down. The buildings had HOW MANY MILLION INDIVIDUAL JOINTS? As the forces increased on each succeeding lower layer, the joints failed due to overload even more readily. Monocoque style construction, where the failure of ONE joint spreads the ensuing stresses over all the rest, thus gradually overloading them and eventually causing MOST of them to fail, do not behave like simple unit levers.

You may well be using 'common sense' based on what you have experienced in the world around you, but that has little relevance to the engineering/physics/architectural reality, of which you clearly have little relevant practical experience.



"Newtonian physics need to be revised to take into account the Tora Boran Hoodoo and if anyone disagrees, well then just shoot them. They're with al Qaida."

Hiya Redneck!

As I said - "little relevant practical experience", logic not overriding emotion.
