popular mechanics was outed for being a shill hit piece. yellow journalism at its finest. check out the editor of the story.. CHERTOFF. the guy was an imbecile and knew nothing about the science of the dynamics. old news yanks_it !
You crack me up, little rat. According to you, Popular Mechanics (a well known, truly venerable scientific publication) is wrong, despite the fact that thousands of publications and millions of people, including our government, agree with it. Also according to you, the infowars (who are these folks again?) piece is correct. I really don't know why I'm wasting my time with you guys, think what you want, post what you will, who cares. :eek:
that PM piece was published awhile back and debunked thoroughly. you on the other hand just came across it thinking you found the holy grail. you know nothing about PM and that they were bought out several years ago... you skim over the chertoff revelation nonchalantly. you already confess to not knowing very simple words that anyone with political acumen would be very familiar with. you mr yanks_it, are a child.
Rat: >that PM piece was published awhile back and >debunked thoroughly LOL ... because Rat says so. JB
Sorry DT, didn't see your question until you mentioned it above. I went back and read it. Simple really. To use a word from your question -- one is "controlled". One has been studied, practiced and has proven to have a very high rate of *controlled* predictability. This *control* has proven to have a nice side effect -- safety. One can drop a building in a prescribed manner at a prescribed time and into a prescribed place. The other requires both a vicious and widespread impact (to strip the insulation from the beams) followed by a fire intense enough to warp and weaken the steel beams of the structure. The fire isn't exactly something that lends itself to safety for obvious reasons and the predictability is dramatically lowered -- when will it fall exactly? -- which beam will weaken and fail first? A jet into a building (or a facsimile thereof) hardly seems like a practical method of demolition to me. But then, that's just me. JB
