360 foot television antennae.
The core of each tower was 87 by 133 feet
comprised of 47 box columns, 36 x 16 inches thick.
The North Tower was completed in 1970, standing at 1,368 feet tall, and
the South Tower was completed in 1973, clocking in at 1,362 feet tall,
making them the tallest buildings in the world
until the Sears Tower was
completed in 1974.
And to think, the Federal Government would have us
believe that these massive structures were destroyed by 10,000 gallons
of jet fuel.
However, eye witnesses, video footage, and a little common
sense quickly refutes that claim.
The second plane hits the South Tower between the 78th and 82nd floors
at 9:03 a.m., slicing through the S.E. corner, the majority of the jet
fuel exploding outside in a massive fireball.
Yet, this tower collapses
first, even though the North tower was hit straight on and had already
been burning for 18 minutes longer. Sir Isaac Newton’s Laws of Motion
determine how quickly an object will travel a certain distance in
complete freefall.
TIME SQUARED = DISTANCE SQUARED / ACCELERATION
Time squared equals distance squared divided by acceleration due to
gravity. The South tower was 1,362 feet tall.
85.1 = 2,724 / 32
85.1 equals 2,724 divided by 32 or 9.2 seconds.
The Twin Towers came
down in nearly freefall speed. 200,000 tons of steel shatters and
explodes outwards over 500 feet. 425,000 cubic yards of concrete is
pulverized into dust. Thousands of lives are extinguished instantly.
So what brought down the World Trade Center?
