Re: 9/11 Debate Reply #270 – March 24, 2021, 12:14:40 pm Quote from: Lods – on March 24, 2021, 11:52:57 amI have no problem with folks questioning 'official' versions of events.But many seem to just stop there.They've made up their mind.They don't take the questioning any further.They've picked their side and they've identified (very vaguely) a villainBut as LP suggests.....put another hat on and argue the opposite.Again... Who, How Many and WhyPut a couple of planes into a building....there's your war.Why bring the buildings down on top of New York's finest?It cant be to hide evidence because any investigators would no doubt have to be complicit for the plot to work.And with that many people killed some of the plotters would no doubt have had friends and relatives amongst the dead.Who's idea?...the President's, the military.How do you go from.... "I've got an idea how to start a war" to executing 9/11?How do you gather people to your cause.You would have to be a super judge of character to get that right because one wrong choice and you're sunk.Somewhere along the way someone who's drawn into it with a bit of a conscience is bound to say "whoa"In the twenty years since (as far as I know) they've been no 'deathbed confessions'(Edit- apparently there was one a Malcolm Howard.)...there's been no "I can't live with what I've done" suicides.Even if your small part was something you didn't know you were doing at the time the after-guilt would be enough to drive you a little crazy.And one can only imagine the damage to the country's stability and political structure if it were found to be true...not to mention the fate of those involved.Even if some of the physics raise questions the human side of things (in terms of an American involvement) just doesn't make any sense.As the Hells Angels always say, "Three can keep a secret if two are dead".

Re: 9/11 Debate Reply #271 – March 24, 2021, 12:16:55 pm Interesting, if you go through imagery of airliner crash sites, you rarely if ever see imprints of the wings. Often the engines will be found separately in their own depression often many meters away from the fuselage impact site, but the wings just never seem to make a significant dent even in something as soft as dirt. The only examples I can find is aircraft crashing into forest, at which time the wings seem to become giant brush cutters.There must be a very good physical reason for this, perhaps the heaviest part of the wing is next the fuselage, so that a shearing impact causes them to fold up along the line of impact like a dart straightening it's flight through the air resistance on it's lightweight wingtip.Maybe @capcom can tell us where the maximum air resistance is on a wing, I won't be at all surprised to find it's out near the wingtips.

There is a whole field of maths dedicated to this sort of question, well above my paygrade. Some of you may be aware of the classic travelling sales problem, working out the shortest route to visit a number of towns, just 20 or 30 towns becomes incalculable for anything but giant supercomputers to solve, 3000 nodes is probably way way beyond anything we have on earth.For those interested, here is a little link to the TSP.Quote from: Understanding the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP)The problem can be solved by analyzing every round-trip route to determine the shortest one. However, as the number of destinations increases, the corresponding number of roundtrips surpasses the capabilities of even the fastest computers. With 10 destinations, there can be more than 300,000 roundtrip permutations and combinations. With 15 destinations, the number of possible routes could exceed 87 billion.

But the closest point of failure (very generally) is at the fuselage connection or the engine failure regardless of their distance between fuselage and tip. EDIT .... There are numerous aircraft maintenance checks on the airframes ranging from overnites to full on pull down :https://www.naa.edu/types-of-aviation-maintenance-checks/TAA sold a 727 to Coninental Airlines in the States in the late 70's.

But the closest point of failure (very generally) is at the fuselage connection or the engine failure regardless of their distance between fuselage and tip. Thanks @capcomSo that makes sense, from that I presume weight is generally/basically roughly evenly distributed either side of the engine mount position.For my own reference, when fuel is consumed, does it come out of all bladders proportionally, or are they drained in a specific sequence? I presume this has to be controlled, so that in banking manoeuvres you do not get drastic changes in plane behaviour subject to fuel load.I must admit, when I thought about it I was surprised just how much of a modern plane MTOW goes in fuel, they are basically flying fuel tanks with some room here and there for a bit of something else.Cynics, sceptics and conspiracists make a big deal about the wings being mostly fluid, but anyone who has jumped off the high diving board knows exactly how hard liquid can be when you hit it, imagine doing that at 550MPH! Can you imagine throwing a full 30,000 litre water tank at a house or building at 550 MPH? (FYI; Human free fall terminal velocity is only about 120 MPH at the most, high dives are roughly half that!) Quote Selected Last Edit: March 24, 2021, 01:36:38 pm by LP

The North eastern corridor in the US is probably the most heavily militarised air space in the world, without exception.On that day 2, 3 or 4 commercial jet liners flew way off their designated respective courses, for up to 45 minutes and not one jet popped up alongside and said 'hello, wtf...."?An F15 can fly at 2500km/hr+ and there are air bases dotted all along the eastern seaboard and inland of the coast.Then there's the 270 degree turn (with triple reverse pike ) required by whatever smacked into the Pentagon.....Too funny.

Re: 9/11 Debate Reply #283 – March 24, 2021, 02:17:37 pm @LP The Centre belly tank (fuselage) is always used first, both for safety and then the wings as they are designed to compensate for that loss and wing flex in flight.The fully loaded wings in any event, can support the entire fuselage, belly tank, pax, cargo etc. Wings generally hold 70% of the entire fuel load.Burning that centre tank first, in turn, reduces strain on the wing roots though less wind bending movement.
