37. Shaped charges,high heat,Mach stem
Edited on Sat Jan-15-05 10:06 PM by demodewd
No columns. The shaped charges could have been wired on the facade interior. But the drone could very well been wired with charges and/or a bomb. I subscribe basically to eric bart's analysis. Its the most thourough and convincing I've come across as yet.

Shaped charges

On the right picture you can see the "punched out hole" that was suposedly made by the nose of the plane. It is labelled N"3 in this picture. Pierre-Henri Bunel explains that is was more likely caused by a shaped charge jet stream. Hot plasma jet streams are designed to pierce concrete, they go far inside the building and end up in winds, smokes and heat.

Because it was supposedly found a nose gear there, it was considered as a proof that the plane's nose made this hole. It is more likely that this gear wheel rim rolled there, pushed or drawn by the above jet streams.

In any case the wheel rim did not make such a big hole. Where are the plane parts that broke this wall ? These parts should be visible in the A-E drive and even damage the next wal : the B ring wall.

Nope. The next wall is intact. No damage. Only some smoke spot waiting to be washed. See it labelled :"smoke spot 3" in the picture below, it's in line with the plane's trajectory. See also these pictures for another view of the B ring wall and of smoke spot 3.

Finally, it seems that no solid matter made this hole. It was made by the forceful pressure of hot gases and smokes. This is much more consistent with shaped charge explosions.



Huge heat

High explosives and shaped charges generate huge amounts of heat.

"The firemen were appreciative, as the heat inside the building was, in their words, "unbelievable." It was reported that at least three of the fireman had to be given IV fluids due to the extreme heat" Terry Morin
"We're having a lot of trouble in there. It's about 3,000 degrees inside" Willis Roberts
"The ground was on fire. Trees were on fire. He was with the hospital corps in Vietnam when mortars and rocket shells dropped on the operating room near Da Nang -- but he had never witnessed anything of this devastating intensity" Alan Wallace
"the whole back of the fire truck had melted" William Yeingst
"The fire was so hot that firefighters could not approach the impact point itself until approximately 1 P.M." Patriotresource
"The fire was so intense it cracked concrete" USA Today
"The fire was so hot, Evey said, that it turned window glass to liquid and sent it spilling down walls into puddles on the ground" Walker Lee Evey
"that heat and fire, it could eat you alive in three seconds" Washingtonpost
"It was still burning 18 hr. later" CBS News


The Mach Stem

"The phenomenon of Mach reflections, called the 'Mach Effect' : When a bomb is detonated at some distance above the ground, the reflected wave catches up to and combines with the original shock wave, called the incident wave, to form a third wave that has a nearly vertical front at ground level. This third wave is called a 'Mach Wave' or 'Mach Stem,' and the point at which the three waves intersect is called the 'Triple Point.' The Mach Stem grows in height as it spreads laterally, and as the Mach Stem grows, the triple point rises, describing a curve through the air." Federation of American Scientists

The damages are more important near the ground.
The damages are more important on the left.
The columns are cut at ground level.
The columns are pushed left.
Columns remained while walls vanished.
Points 1 & 3 show a huge force at ground level.
Point 2 shows that the force was greater on the left.
Point 4 shows that the force is directed to the left.
Point 5 shows that no solid matter did these damages.

The Mach Stem is a huge blast at groud level that propagate away from the bomb.

At the Pentagone, the plane was going to the left at a 45° angle. If a bomb insiside the plane was detonated before the plane touched the wall, there would be a Mach Stem. This Mach Stem would be huge gaseous forces at ground level directed 45° to the left. This explains points 1, 3, 4 & 5.

Let's see point 2. The Federation of American Scientists says : "The Mach Stem grows in height as it spreads laterally", this means that the forces that were confined close to the ground get upper and upper above the ground while spreading, thus, close to the explosion the walls are pushed at ground level, further they are pushed at all levels. In the case of the plane bomb, the Mach Stem covered a greater distance to reach the left of the picture than the right, so the Mach Stem was bigger on the left, that's why the damages are so important on the left of the picture,

This Mach Stem is the very smoking gun of an explosion before the wall. It's clearly the proof of the lie.

This explosion could be made by shaped charges detonated horizontally before the plane touched the wall. Shaped charges explosions can't be perfectly focused, so they have a significant lateral blast effect. This lateral blast created the Mach Stem damages (at ground level) while the main jet streams created the hole whose entry is at the second story level and exit in the A-E drive.
