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*

Since Hanjour had aleady obtained a commercial pilot certificate two years earlier, the statement he could not fly at all is an exaggeration glommed onto by the Half Truther usual suspects, who can't be bothered to research facts, because that will take time away from their circlejerk gaybanter with each other

From Newsday Magazine

However, when Baxter and fellow instructor Ben Conner took the slender, soft- spoken Hanjour on three test runs during the second week of August, they found he had trouble controlling and landing the single-engine Cessna 172. Even though Hanjour showed a federal pilot's license and a log book cataloging 600 hours of flying experience, chief flight instructor Marcel Bernard declined to rent him a plane without more lessons.

In the spring of 2000, Hanjour had asked to enroll in the CRM Airline Training Center in Scottsdale, Ariz., for advanced training, said the center's attorney, Gerald Chilton Jr. Hanjour had attended the school for three months in late 1996 and again in December 1997 but never finished coursework for a license to fly a single-engine aircraft, Chilton said.

When Hanjour reapplied to the center last year, "We declined to provide training to him because we didn't think he was a good enough student when he was there in 1996 and 1997," Chilton said.


"The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen

There IS no information on Hanjour, the "certificate" was probably entered into the computer by an "associate". There is no record of what school he took lessons from in terms of either a commericial or private pilot's license.

It was fabricated apparently.

His instructors at the flight simulator school said he couldn't fly at all, and that was reported by the New York Times

Lying as usual, fuckwit.

It's all on public records referred to by links I've already provided.

Pathetic loser.

To get his 1999 commercial pilot license, Hanjour had to pass FAA tests both written and flight performance.

Never finished coursework for a license to fly a single-engine aircraft, Chilton said.

Two different types of licenses, Half Truther.

Once again you conflate two distinct items, into a single gloopy tarball of k00kspiracy theory.

Hanjour's license and training were for a commercial pilot, which is the license you need to fly passenger carrying jets.

Hanjour's single engine license private pilot is not relevant to 911 unless you want to claim Hanjour somehow needed to fly a Cessna 172 into the targets.

Nearly all aircraft pilots say it's harder to fly smaller aircraft than larger ones. The smaller craft are more susceptible to wind and weather changes, don't have backup safety systems, and require constant attention. Even experienced ATP pilots are often asked to take additional training if they have not piloted smaller craft recently.

As I have already said, the hardest parts of piloting are takeoffs and landings. So what does your source say?

when Baxter and fellow instructor Ben Conner took the slender, soft- spoken Hanjour on three test runs...they found he had trouble controlling and landing the single- engine Cessna 172
You know what? The Cessna people made the right decision. They owned an airplane with millions of dollars of liability insurance on it. They didn't feel like renting to anyone who could not completely control the aircraft under all circumstances. That was the smart thing to do.

However Hanjour knew just enough about both large and small planes to be dangerous. And he didn't need anyone's permission to hijack an airplane and fly it into a building, however clumsily.

To AGJerkoff, the New York Times is a "circle jerk conspiracy source", where him and his butt pal buck are "official experts" and more knowledgeable about all this than any scientist, flight instructor, pilot, or anyone else who disagrees with THEIR story.

And if all that isn't enough they even know more than all the eyewitnesses who were there on scene and heard bombs. You know, the firefighters and folks like that. People who probably don't get rattled too easily.

Hanjour's license and training were for a commercial pilot, which is the license you need to fly passenger carrying jets.

Which apparently is fake, as there's no record of him ever taking lessons for that.

Besides, are you trying to say you don't need to know how to take-off, land, or fly a plane in order to obtain a commericial license?

Are you saying that you don't need to know how to fly a single engine plane before progressing to multi-engine?

Wrong pilot license, wrong aircraft, wrong school, wrong dates.

Hanjour got an FAA commercial pilot license, not private pilot license, the license was from a different school than you cite, it was for a passenger aircraft and not a single engine Cessna 172, and it was during a different time period than you mention.

On your attempts to introduce facts you're 0 for 4.

So I'm supposed to believe YOU, the forum liar, rather than the news reports that reported the facts concerning Hanjour's background, eh?

Post the following information concerning Hanjour's commercial license;

  1. The name of the FAA inspector who signed off on his commercial certificate
  2. The name of his commericial flight school and instructor(s)
  3. Find any information on his multi-engine license or certificate
  4. Find any information on his single-engine license

You see genius, you can't walk into an FAA office and tell them you want a commericial license, have them say ok, here ya go. You HAVE to FIRST take lessons for a SINGLE-ENGINE PRIVATE license, solo, acquire flight hours, THEN take a test with an FAA examiner, similar to driver's road test, where every aspect of a pilot's abilities are scrutinized, THEN if successful a PRIVATE SINGLE ENGINE license is issued.

THEN, in order to fly MULTI-ENGINE planes, you need to take lessons for that and go through a similar process.

THEN, a pilot would need to fly a simulator and take lessons for IFR flight, ie. flying with instruments only, and be examined for that, and be issued a IFR certificate.

THEN, a pilot would need to log many hours of time IFR, and take lessons for a COMMERCIAL license, THEN be examined by the FAA for that.

So go ahead and provide that information concerning his flight training and FAA certifications.

Just like it's much easier to pilot an oil tanker or aircraft carrier than it is operate a rowboat or a speed boat.

"FLT77 from Ohio theories"

Hey numbnuts, are you STILL trying to say that FLT77 didn't fly over Ohio?

Nearly all aircraft pilots say it's harder to fly smaller aircraft than larger ones.

Find me ONE legitimate pilot who EVER said it's easier to fly an airliner than it is to fly a Cessna 172.

Gawd, swatting you is about as much work as smacking an insect.

Flight Instructor Hal Stoen

They come in all shapes and sizes. High wing, low wing, I've even known people that started- and completed- their training in a twin.

What's best? The one that is the most difficult to fly!

Well, within reason of course.

A Cessna 152, for example, is more sensitive on the controls than it's larger brother, the 172. If you learn to fly in a 152, and then step-up to a 172 it will be a piece of cake to handle. It's more difficult the other way around.

Generally speaking, the larger the aircraft the easier it is to fly.

And, the guy that learns in a tail-dragger has a much easier time of transistioning to a tricycle gear than the tricycle driver does going the other direction.

So, in my opinion, opt for the small trainer.

Yeah, those rowboats are some hard work. I think I will apply for a job as captain of one of those oil tankers and have it made. Easy duty, no heavy lifting and simple work I guess. What could be better? Or maybe I will just decide that I want to be a pilot and fly for Delta or somebody since that is so simple. I wish I had known all this at a younger age.

Yes, and they are BOTH SINGLE-ENGINE PRIVATE AIRCRAFT you bloviating idiot. He wasn't talking about airliners being easier to fly than a SINGLE ENGINE plane you retard.

Cessna 172

So go ahead and find the information genius.

Find the name of that commericial flight school that he obtained his license from.

Besides, who's to say that character on YouTube isn't a contract pilot for some alphabet soup agency. Don't tell there aren't any, as we ALL know better than that.

"Generally speaking, the larger the aircraft the easier it is to fly."

Airline pilots used to flying planes on autopilot with co crew members helping out, generally have more difficult times being single pilot in command on smaller private planes, with no backup, no flight computers, and no push button controls to do the work.

If you knew jack$hit about aviation you would know that already.

Yet, he couldn't even fly a 172...

HAHAHAHA!!!!

This from The Prince George's Journal (Maryland), September 18, 2001:

Marcel Bernard, the chief flight instructor at the airport, said the man named Hani Hanjour went into the air in a Cessna 172 with instructors from the airport three times beginning the second week of August and had hoped to rent a plane from the airport.

According to published reports, law enforcement sources say Hanjour, in his mid- twenties, is suspected of crashing the American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon. . . .

Hanjour had his pilot's license, said Bernard, but needed what is called a 'check-out' done by the airport to gauge a pilot's skills before he or she is able to rent a plane at Freeway Airport which runs parallel to Route 50. Instructors at the school told Bernard that after three times in the air, they still felt he was unable to fly solo and that Hanjour seemed disappointed ...

... Published reports said Hanjour obtained his pilot's license in April of 1999, but it expired six months later because he did not complete a required medical exam. He also was trained for a few months at a private school in Scottsdale, Ariz., in 1996, but did not finish the course because instructors felt he was not capable.

Hanjour had 600 hours listed in his log book, Bernard said, and instructors were surprised he was not able to fly better with the amount of experience. Pete Goulatta, a special agent and spokesman for the FBI, said it is an on- going criminal investigation and he could not comment. (pg. 1.)

You HAVE to FIRST take lessons for a SINGLE-ENGINE PRIVATE license, solo, acquire flight hours, THEN take a test with an FAA examiner, similar to driver's road test, where every aspect of a pilot's abilities are scrutinized, THEN if successful a PRIVATE SINGLE ENGINE license is issued.

THEN, in order to fly MULTI-ENGINE planes, you need to take lessons for that and go through a similar process.

THEN, a pilot would need to fly a simulator and take lessons for IFR flight, ie. flying with instruments only, and be examined for that, and be issued a IFR certificate.

THEN, a pilot would need to log many hours of time IFR, and take lessons for a COMMERCIAL license, THEN be examined by the FAA for that.

Bull$hit.

You can if you wish go directly into commercial aircraft training school. There is no mandatory connection between private single engine and commercial ATP licensing.

That is exactly what Hanjour did.

Did Hanjour get, or did he not get, a commercial pilot license, contrary to your scores of k00kblather word dumps denying he ever had one?

Requirements for a Commmercial Pilot License

This FAA certificate allows you to fly any aircraft for compensation or hire. The requirements are:

Find his commericial AND private training records, shillster.

REPORTS simply repeat what his instructors say, in that he showed them a licencse. Ok, well if he had this license, where'd he get the training?

Also, which FAA examiner signed off on his license? Where was the exam taken?

The requirements may have changed.

However if you want to confirm that Hanjour had both a private license, and a commercial pilot license, totally undercutting your false claims "he couldn't fly," fine with me!
