I'm Going to Toot My Own Horn Here Just a Bit
 Advertisements [?]Edited on Sun May-18-08 12:27 PM by petgoat
Almost 18 months ago I shared these sketches, which didn't
go over very well here.

I'm not an engineer. I've worked in construction and read
lots of books on building and I operate a lot in the failure
mode through taking on the repair of hopelessly broken stuff
other people consider garbage, and when I'm building stuff
for my own use I deliberately underbuild it to try to generate
instructive failures. My first project was as a
five-year-old--a chair that provided an interesting (and
instant) shear failure when I sat on it.

I have reason to believe that one of these days you're going to
see some diagrams from more authoritative sources that look
something like these.

Clearly you can't see that for the top of the tower to fall through the
lower part of the tower would not be like a piledriver pounding a pile
but like trying to pound a rake with another rake.

Actually, since the lower rake is more robust than the pounding rake,
this updated version is more apt.

I would dare to assume that most of us here are in the upper 1%-20% of the population intelligence-wise. We must come to the realization that the majority of the population is in the lower 80% to 99% percent of the bell-curve. WE are not the norm. The Republicans understand that the average American is not very bright. They cater and pander to the masses. The Democratic Party tries to appeal to the population about "issues" that these people just don't understand.

With such l33t paintbrush skills as this DUmmie clearly possesses he has no need for Autocad or Correldraw, let alone chicken wire and kero.

Well damn that explains everything.  How could I have missed that all this time!  It was right in front of my face!

Bush really did do 9/11 and Underground panther is actually a male groundhog in a female human body!

And did anyone notice the misspelling of "sheer". He spelled it "shear".

I believe it's a troofer post, and the moron thinks the towers should have failed in the middle by spreading out horizontally at the point of impact, instead of collapsing more-or-less vertically with relatively little horizontal dispersion above ground level.  It's the work of a world-class buffoon, and no more an engineer than TiT was a SEAL.

No, Dixie, I think that might actually have been correct in this context, which I finally figured out. "Shear" as in physics, a stress force.

(It only took dumb ol' me about eight posts to figure out that those grossly rudimentary drawings are supposed to illustrate why 9/11 couldn't have happened the way it did without a set-up implosion.)

What they actually illustrate is that petgoat is not only a crappy draftsman and non-genius, he's probably mentally ill into the bargain.

well kudos to you for figuring it out! LOL. I honestly read "shear failure" and thought, "utter failure", not a mechanical description. Then again, I'm not a civil engineer tee hee. I doubt the goat is either but hey...

You don't need to be daring to assume anything, otherwise you're just going to continue to believe things about yourself that simply has no basis in reality.  But please, keep viewing yourself in that fashion.  Makes my job as a conservative thinking circles around you that much easier.

It was too expensive.  Probably couldn't afford the kerosene, anyway.  :rotf:
That horrible * economy.   :(

Therein lies the conspiracy of the high fuel costs.  I was in on a top secret meeting (actually it was sooper top secret) where the heads of NSA, FBI, CIA and other agencies realized the DUmmies were on to them and were going to crack the truth of 911.  What was decided was to get fuel prices soooo high that the DUmmies couldn't afford the fuel it would take to replicate the twin towers again.  There has been a full court press to get the chicken wire demonstration removed from the internets.  Can't have information like that floating around out there.
