the exterior wall ...[was] NOT built to be a vertical load bearing part of the structure
Nope. That is just plain incorrect.
In terms of structural system the twin towers departed completely from other high-rise buildings. Conventional skyscrapers since the 19th century have been built with a skeleton of interior supporting columns that supports the structure. Exterior walls of glass steel or synthetic material do not carry any load. The Twin towers are radically different in structural design as the exterior wall is used as the load-bearing wall. (A load bearing wall supports the weight of the floors.) The only interior columns are located in the core area, which contains the elevators. The outer wall carries the building vertical loads and provides the entire resistance to wind. The wall consists of closely spaced vertical columns (21 columns 10 feet apart) tied together by horizontal spandrel beams that girdle the tower at every floor. On the inside of the structure the floor sections consist of trusses spanning from the core to the outer wall.
Nobody who was present during your Obama, gun-grabbing wish list presentation last Fall will ever forget your words, so stop trying to play the martyr. You're a gold plated fraud, nothing more, nothing less.
Did you email her to state your case,or did you just say "screw it!" and accept it?
Trying to reason with Moldy Lox is like trying to reason with a bagel. I just moved on, though I did revive the screen name here just to spite the kikes.
As for Neil, it seems that he has caught up somewhat. The conditioning to avoid discussion of the Jewish power structures runs deep and it takes some longer than others to catch on. Nothing will change until the political discussion encompasses all of the power structures involved. I think it's turning in that direction now.
The center of gravity doesn't change until the load shifts
Doh...
You're flying by the seat of your pants and they need mending, dude...
The center of gravity does not move, however the forces on the remaining supports change. Center of gravity isn't the correct term. Increasing in magnitude and changing in direction. This creates a torque on the supports where there were none before. This creates a shear stress in the steel supports, in addition to increasing the regular stress from just holding up the tower with fewer supports.
I sent several of the links from my home computer to my work computer but I just copied and pasted them so I am not sure what I have here but I based that upon an analysis I had read that was complied by an engineer who said that the force of impact and resulting damage and which caused a weight shift implied that the center o gravity of actually shifted outside of the buildings' footptint. Now, I am not an engineer so I may have misunderstood his statement. It is that statement upon which I based my statement.

The center of gravity could have moved, if, the tower was actually bent in the impact. Otherwise not really. But the point you are making still stands, you are just using the wrong, or inaccurate term.
I understand we have differing opinions on JT, and that's fine.
But I think the record on this thread of his completely unsolicited attacks on me on this evening speaks for itself, and supports my assessment quite strongly. I believe that any unbiased person reviewing it would agree.
And if I feel 4um is a place where it's open season for unwarranted attacks on my reputation, I'll close my account and go for good
Not that it matters, but I would hate to see you go Neil. You have more friends than enemies here.

Let it be water off of a Duck's back. If I allowed all the attacks and name calling I've taken bother me I would have slit my wrists a long time ago. I'm sure that would have made a few shills happy.
I still recall your stand on the thread that got TwentyTwelve and I banned for pointing out that Goldi-Pox was a stinking lying hypocritical Israel Firster. Of course I was a bit more decorous before the banning. ;-)
You need not be bothered by the misapprehensions of others. Seek first and only your own approval. Of course it doesn't hurt to have God on your side either.
Good advice.

Thanks...IIRC my physics correctly, C/G was simple geometry in basic structures - such as rectangles - as to where the average location of weight of an object was. IN a rectangle, again IIRC, it's height/2.
I'll amend my assessment of you. You're an absolutely clueless ass.
Your attempts at revisionism might fool the suckers - the fact is that you flat out shilled for the black Mussolini like a bleeding heart world socialist and it will never be forgotten, gun grabber.

I'm not falling for it, he's full of shit and he doesn't fool me for one nano.

Now, I am not an engineer so I may have misunderstood his statement.
In other words you have no idea of what you're talking about, and are simply cutting and pasting some terms you've read that were written by some guy who calls himself an engineer.
Guess what, I'M AN ENGINEER, so believe what I say.
Idiot.

I too like divergent views on a forum for me it enriches the experience I think because I discover I can see some things differently, and some things the same with many posters plus I get some idea where others are coming from, it helps my understanding
Hear ya, Palo...It's like an interactive school of all sorts.
Anyone who is intellectual honest is going to admit they've had their respective perspectives changed here and there - as well they should. We (and I) have learned something from most everyone...EXCEPT those posters who engage a forum strictly and solely for bloodsport like Klowns. Or even some of Jim Rob's SS Brownshirts. These are the anti-social jackals and parasites who should be called out, derided and ostracized.
I have to agree with blue, anyone that knew RimJob and paid attention could not but help coming away with the knowledge that he was a con artist at best.
Robinson conned hundreds of people, so you are not alone.
You see Palo?
I even concur with Cynicom on this matter with whom I disagree 90% of the time.
Your problem is that you've assumed a conclusion, i.e. "BOOOSH BRUNG DOWN THE TOWERS!!!" and are trying to construct a fairy tale based upon Moonbatism
You stupid assed dork, NOWHERE have I EVER said ""BOOOSH BRUNG DOWN THE TOWERS!!!", only drooling retards such as yourself have ever thought ANYONE has ever honestly said that.
What is clear is that there are MANY lies and distortions being given as the "official truth" that are simply improbable or impossible, and not only is that reason to investigate what really DID happen, but to wonder why those in the US government and the media would try to coverup what DID happen.
Might Bush have known about the plan? More than likely he was kept in the dark in terms of operational details but knew SOMETHING was going to happen, and didn't blink an eyelash when it did. More than likely Cheney was fully aware and in fact part of the operation, along with a few other high ranking members of the administration.
That is simply an observation of what they did AFTER the attacks to stifle any sort of real investigation of what happened.

Well, the guy's an Israel-Firster, America-Laster, a statist Commie, an anti-Capitalist, an anti-socialist, and anti-Christian....AND Enemy of the People.
Ain't it sad that some (like our friend war) NEED the voice of authority so that they can override their own common sense?
It's like trying to tell a Creationist that the world has been around a LOT longer than just 6000 years. No matter what you say or what information you give them, they call YOU a nut and assume a self-rightheous attitude.
In regards to 9/11 the authority is the television set, in terms of Creationism the authority is the pastor at the pulpit. Scientific principles and logical analysis are tossed out the window in either case.

Yep. The guy called Dubya Bush a coke-snortin' disaster for America back in 1999 (anybody got that exact quote by chance?), while swearing he'd NEVER back NcStain.
IOW, he's a two-faced BSer and tool with NO principles who bends over and instantly becomes what his overlords tell him to be.
Jim Robinson has proven to be nothing more than an opportunist GOP-Whore, Stalinist POS, Delusional Grand Wizard, and Olive Garden Junkie.
Ye4t, oddly, you;ve been unable to pinpoint those lies and have told several of your own, e.g, no explosion INSIDE the building...the damage was pinholes...outer wall did not have vertical load responsibilities...the building had no sway...
Had you ever been in the towers? You could feel the sway in the upper floors. This one is the easiest of your rantings to bitch slap. The towers swayed...it 's why lateral support was so important.
You are trying to say that they swayed so much they fell. That is a lie.
You are trying to say by swaying, their center of gravity shifted and they collapsed. That is a lie.
I said that they didn't sway any more so than usual, and since there was only a slight wind that morning, any swaying was minimal. That is a factual observation.
Grow up.

Nope. That is NOT what I am "saying". What I am "saying" has been documented. That the loss of lateral stability that was designed to specifically to mitigate "sway" played a role along heat et al and helped to weaken the trusses.
