Reply #45: Didn't take physics 101.

As an engineering student, I was required to take the advanced physics required of physics majors.

I'm sure the impact of an airplane stressed the building structure, but only one plane actually struck the internal frame of the (north) tower. And the sheathing had significantly reduced the energy of the impact. Look at the tower design. It is possible that stress on the structure contributed to the collapse. But there is no evidence of that. The debris was shipped offshore during the cleanup effort. That is my only point.

Your comment about air availability has no quantitative basis. Every indication is that the fuel burned in a fuel-rich (low temperature) environment. "Increased oxygen availability" sounds good, but doesn't mean anything, and the implication behind the words is contradicted by the evidence.

As for cooking, I guess I'll have to sell my gas cookstove, huh?
