An analysis of the World Trade Center collapse has challenged a conspiracy theory surrounding the 9/11 attacks.

The study by a Cambridge University engineer demonstrates that once the collapse of the twin towers began, it was destined to be rapid and total.

One of many conspiracy theories proposes that the buildings came down in a manner consistent with a "controlled demolition".

The study suggests a different explanation for how the towers fell.

Over 2,800 people were killed in the devastating attacks on New York.

After reviewing television footage of the Trade Center's destruction, engineers had proposed the idea of "progressive collapse" to explain the way the twin towers disintegrated on 11 September 2001.

This mode of structural failure describes the way the building fell straight down rather than toppling, with each successive floor crushing the one beneath (an effect called "pancaking").

Resistance to collapse

Dr Keith Seffen set out to test mathematically whether this chain reaction really could explain what happened in Lower Manhattan six years ago. The findings are to be published in the Journal of Engineering Mechanics.

Previous studies have tended to focus on the initial stages of collapse, showing that there was an initial, localised failure around the aircraft impact zones, and that this probably led to the progressive collapse of both structures.

Man stands amid rubble of the World Trade Center, AFP/Getty Once the collapse began, it was destined to be "rapid and total" In other words, the damaged parts of the tower were bound to fall down, but it was not clear why the undamaged building should have offered little resistance to these falling parts.

"The initiation part has been quantified by many people; but no one had put numbers on the progressive collapse," Dr Seffen told the BBC News website.

Dr Seffen was able to calculate the "residual capacity" of the undamaged building: that is, simply speaking, the ability of the undamaged structure to resist or comply with collapse.

His calculations suggest the residual capacity of the north and south towers was limited, and that once the collapse was set in motion, it would take only nine seconds for the building to go down.

This is just a little longer than a free-falling coin, dropped from the top of either tower, would take to reach the ground.

'Fair assumption'

The University of Cambridge engineer said his results therefore suggested progressive collapse was "a fair assumption in terms of how the building fell".

"One thing that confounded engineers was how falling parts of the structure ploughed through undamaged building beneath and brought the towers down so quickly," said Dr Seffen.

The south tower of the World Trade Center collapses, AP Conspiracy theorists see evidence of a "controlled detonation" He added that his calculations showed this was a "very ordinary thing to happen" and that no other intervention, such as explosive charges laid inside the building, was needed to explain the behaviour of the buildings.

The controlled detonation idea, espoused on several internet websites, asserts that the manner of collapse is consistent with synchronised rows of explosives going off inside the World Trade Center.

This would have generated a demolition wave that explained the speed, uniformity and similarity between the collapses of both towers.

Conspiracy theorists assert that these explosive "squibs" can actually be seen going off in photos and video footage of the collapse. These appear as ejections of gas and debris from the sides of the building, well below the descending rubble.

Other observers say this could be explained by debris falling down lift shafts and impacting on lower floors during the collapse.

Dr Seffen's research could help inform future building design. Subscribe to *4um PSY-OP Club*

Where is this inside knowledge, FL? You seem to KNOW all about the reasons.....

Let's start from the beginning, since you jumped into a response I made to another person, and didn't quite understand it since you were too lazy to click your mouse to see what was originally said.

Your pal was bloviating about WHY would a "terrorist" steer the jet AWAY from Rumsfeld's office and the high value section of the Pentagon and instead strike a relatively unoccupied section going through renovations, which IS exactly what happened.

I told him that would be because the covert operation didn't wish to cause THAT much damage to the Pentagon. Of course, they obviously didn't wish to kill a lot of high ranking military officers and such either, nor did they wish to kill Secretary Rumsfeld.

THAT is the only logical answer as to WHY the plane veered away from the high value side of the building, since instead it could have easily descended into the ROOF of the building causing extensive damage to much of the building, engulfing it in flames, and possibly killing a whole lot of high ranking people.

Are you entirely crazy?

You responded as if you thought I was saying he is alleged to have flown a Cessna into the Pentagon, since you couldn't understand what I meant when I said, "he more than likely couldn't attack the Pentagon with a Cessna, never mind a 757".

Hanjour was certified as both a private pilot and commercial aircraft.

Neither of which he was actually qualified for, according to anyone who tested his "abilities". BTW, his "commercial license" allowed him to fly for hire, but not anything in the way of jet aircraft, just a standard propeller driven plane.

He wasn't capable of flying a SINGLE-ENGINE craft, yet he was supposedly certified on an Apache twin-engine.

The whole story stinks, yet you gobble it up as if it were gospel.

Professor Steven Jones Clings to His Belief That Jesus Visited the Aboriginal Americans

Behold My Hands: Evidence for Christ's Visit in Ancient America

by Steven E. Jones

The Book of Mormon makes the bold statement that Jesus Christ, shortly following His resurrection, visited people in the New World and invited them to "feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am...the God of the whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the world. ... Ye are they of whom I said: Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice..." (3 Nephi 11:14, 15:21). The Bible states that Jesus "showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days" and that this witness of Christ would be "unto the uttermost part of the earth." (Acts 1:3-8) and that Jesus would indeed visit "other sheep" (John 10:16).

Several years ago, an idea popped into my head: Would people in the New World who also saw Jesus Christ leave memorials of this supernal experience by showing marked hands of Deity in their artwork?

So I began a search with the following hypothesis-to be tested: Ancient artwork portraying a deity with deliberate markings on his hands will be found somewhere in the Americas.

A crazy idea, maybe - but wait till you see the artwork of the ancient Maya!"

One of the major consequences of the 9/11 movement has been to draw enormous amounts of energy and effort away from activism directed to real and ongoing crimes of state, and their institutional background, crimes that are far more serious than blowing up the WTC would be, if there were any credibility to that thesis. That is, I suspect, why the 9/11 movement is treated far more tolerantly by centers of power than is the norm for serious critical and activist work....Noam Chomsky

I already showed that his certification records have been witnessed and in the testimony in Congress about 9/11...... why should do your research.... by the way in that same document, it discloses who trained Hanjour and helped him through the testing processes.

Why don't you read the document that I already provided.

At any rate, it means nothing. He crashed FLT77 into the Pentagon. End of story other than the tremendous tragedy these hijackers performed on 9/11.

if that were true your handlers would be able to provide you with video of hanjour boarding flt77 and they'd have no problems releasing all the surveillance video from around the pentagon they confiscated, but they don't because it won't bare out what claimed happened thus putting you and AGovshill and the rest of the members of the liar movement out of work.

Research Interests and Background

Jones conducted research at the Idaho National Laboratory, in Arco, Idaho where, from 1979 to 1985, he was a senior engineering specialist. He was principal investigator for experimental muon-catalyzed fusion from 1982 to 1991 for the U.S. Department of Energy, Division of Advanced Energy Projects. From 1990 to 1993, Jones studied fusion in condensed matter physics and deuterium under U.S. Department of Energy and Electric Power Research Institute sponsorship. Jones also collaborated in experiments at other physics labs, including TRIUMF (Vancouver, British Columbia), KEK (Tsukuba, Japan), and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory at Oxford University.

Jones' interests also extend to archaeometry, solar energy,[2][3] and, like many professors at BYU, archaeology and the Book of Mormon.[4]

For example, he has sought radiocarbon dating evidence of the existence of pre- Columbian horses in the Americas,[5] and has interpreted archaeological evidence from the ancient Mayans as supporting his faith's belief that Jesus Christ visited America.[6]

You've actually fabricated a story with huge fonts and red colors

And a hyperlink which proves you are a lying SOS, and it is in fact pseudo physicist Steven E. Jones making those claims.

Steven E. Jones

Research Interests and Background

Jones conducted research at the Idaho National Laboratory, in Arco, Idaho where, from 1979 to 1985, he was a senior engineering specialist. He was principal investigator for experimental muon-catalyzed fusion from 1982 to 1991 for the U.S. Department of Energy, Division of Advanced Energy Projects. From 1990 to 1993, Jones studied fusion in condensed matter physics and deuterium under U.S. Department of Energy and Electric Power Research Institute sponsorship. Jones also collaborated in experiments at other physics labs, including TRIUMF (Vancouver, British Columbia), KEK (Tsukuba, Japan), and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory at Oxford University.

Jones' interests also extend to archaeometry, solar energy,[2][3] and, like many professors at BYU, archaeology and the Book of Mormon.[4]

For example, he has sought radiocarbon dating evidence of the existence of pre- Columbian horses in the Americas,[5] and has interpreted archaeological evidence from the ancient Mayans as supporting his faith's belief that Jesus Christ visited America.[6]

No, stupid fuckwit, you didn't dig any deeper than an off the cuff excuse.

Hey fucktard, besides being a major stupid fuck who loves to post known lies and can't tell the difference between a college professsor with a Ph. D. in Physics and a doctor in divinity who has his own ministry, you have a very foul mouth when you speak to women.

Abraxas is female, so have a bit of class and stop acting like the low-life gutter rat your mom raised you as.

I'm starting to think the only creature that tells more lies than you is Satan himself.

Lol.....now, that right there is FUNNY.

Well, he was at BYU, so he could have done some work trying to make the Book of Mormon legit. I forgot about that. Still, it doesn't discredit his work in physics simply because he has interestes beyond his field.

The difference between me and you, AGABLOWviator, is that I have no problem admitting that I might not be right all the time.

You see, a lie is when a person INTENTIONALLY misleads another. I can truthfully say, I haven't done that, although I have witnessed YOU do that more than once.

(1) Steven E. Jones the physicist is the author of the piece of work I cite. There is no Steven Jones the doctor of divinity except in your own delusional head.

(2) Anybody who calls me a liar, and is lying himself/herself in doing so, will get the same treatment that any scumsucking cretin gets male or female. If she is a female she's an even more low lifer than Mel Gibson's co dependent, because she's cheering on the rest of you lying sociopaths while Gibson's plaything is trying to protect a child.

If your accomplice wants respect, she'll need to start showing some.

No, stupid fuckwit, you didn't dig any deeper than an off the cuff excuse. I research my posts. Steven E. Jones the so called physicist is the author of the said work. Enjoy eating another helping of stagnant $hit. You've earned it. Steven E. Jones

Hey shit for brains, here's the BIO on Dr. Stephen Jones, Dr. of Divinity (or whatever) who has his own ministry and only obtained a degree in Theology, not Physics...

God's Kingdom Ministries

Dr. STEPHEN E. Jones was born in Marion, Indiana January 29, 1950. At the age of three, his parents went as missionaries to the Philippine Islands under the Christian and Missionary Alliance, and they spent a total of nine years in that far-off land. Upon returning to America, they lived in Minnesota, where Stephen finished high school and then went to St. Paul Bible College and the University of Minnesota, majoring in Philosophy and Humanities. He later received his masters degree and doctorate from the Minnesota Graduate School of Theology.

Now here's some info on the PHYSICIST Dr. STEVEN Jones, Ph. D. Physics.

Education

Jones earned his bachelor's degree in physics, magna cum laude, from Brigham Young University in 1973, and his Ph.D. in physics from Vanderbilt University in 1978. Jones conducted his Ph.D. research at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (from 1974 to 1977), and post-doctoral research at Cornell University and the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility.[1]

Research interests and background

Jones conducted research at the Idaho National Laboratory, in Arco, Idaho where, from 1979 to 1985, he was a senior engineering specialist. He was principal investigator for experimental muon-catalyzed fusion from 1982 to 1991 for the U.S. Department of Energy, Division of Advanced Energy Projects. From 1990 to 1993, Jones studied fusion in condensed matter physics and deuterium under U.S. Department of Energy and Electric Power Research Institute sponsorship. Jones also collaborated in experiments at other physics labs, including TRIUMF (Vancouver, British Columbia), KEK (Tsukuba, Japan), and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory at Oxford University.

Jones' interests also extend to archaeometry, solar energy,[2] [3] and, like many professors at BYU, archaeology and the Book of Mormon.[4] For example, he has sought radiocarbon dating evidence of the existence of pre- Columbian horses in the Americas, [5] and has interpreted archaeological evidence from the ancient Mayans as supporting his faith's belief that Jesus Christ visited America. [6]

Muon-catalyzed fusion

In the mid-1980s, Jones and other BYU scientists worked on what he then referred to as Cold Nuclear Fusion in a Scientific American article, but is today known as muon-catalyzed fusion to avoid confusion. Muon-catalyzed fusion was a field of some interest in the 1980s, but its low energy output appears to be unavoidable (due to alpha-muon sticking losses). Jones led a research team that in 1986 achieved 150 fusions per muon (average), releasing over 2,600 MeV of fusion energy per muon, a record which still stands.[7]

Around 1985 Jones then became interested in the anomalous concentration of helium-3 found in the gases escaping from volcanoes. He hypothesized that the high pressures in the Earth's interior might make fusion more likely, and began a series of experiments on what he referred to as piezofusion, or high- pressure fusion. In order to characterize the reactions, Jones designed and built a neutron counter able to accurately measure the tiny numbers of neutrons being produced in his experiments. The counter suggested a small amount of fusion was going on. Jones said the result suggested at least the possibility of fusion, though the process was unlikely to be useful as an energy source.

Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann (Pons and Fleischmann or P&F) started their work around the same time. Their work was brought to Jones' attention when they applied for research funding from the Department of Energy, after which the DOE passed their proposal along to Jones for peer review. Realizing their work was very similar, Jones and P&F agreed to release their papers to Nature on the same day, March 24, 1989. However, P&F announced their results at a press event the day before. Jones faxed his paper to Nature. [8]

A New York Times article says that while peer reviewers were quite critical of Pons and Fleishchmann's research they did not apply such criticism to Jones' much more modest, theoretically supported findings. Although critics insisted that his results likely stemmed from experimental error,[9] most of the reviewing physicists indicated that he was a careful scientist. Later research and experiments supported the metallic cold fusion reports by Jones.[10]

OK, he has a nutty religion. He probably was born into it and really hasn't given it a great deal of thought. If that is the best you can do discredit him then he must be squeaky clean and has very valid points that you have no credible argument against. Well, you actually can't argue against anyone cause you are a retard.

Can you find a BYU professor who doesn't work on research to make the Book of Mormon legit? It's a prerequisite for hire you know.

I read the paper in it's entirety.......nothing too kooky, simply comparing some Myan artifacts to information in the Book of Mormom.

Again, this doesn't in anyway discredit his work in physics. You do realize that Newton was an excellent student of astrology, the Emerald Tablets and other "occult" works. Do you call Newton a kook too? Oh, that's right, Newton's theories don't jive with your 911 goobermint fairy tale, so he must be a kook.

The Reverend Jones is NOT a physicist, and only went to school for Theology.
