The fuel on board was approx 38 kL. Jet fuel contains about 35 MJ/L. The heat content of the fuel tanks at the moment of impact was about
E ≈ (38 kL)(35 MJ/L) ≈ 1.3 TJ.
This is the energy content of about 633,000 sticks of dynamite.
Stop evading. Go back up and address my posts psychohackr.
Bull. You claimed the blueprints were not publicly available- not only did I link you to them, with a whole lot of extra information, I have a copy on my computer.I don't give a damn about your links that just provide another link to a 100 page PDF that I already have on my DVD if you are not going to say specifically what matters in that PDF.
I said the NIST does not specify the total amount of concrete or the "center of mass" of the tilted top portion of the south tower. If you say that data is there then specify the quote and page. I provided quotes with my links.
Oh, yes you are.I am not going off on wild goose chases
Watching the many videos, you can see debris falling at freefall. You can see the dust cloud falling as well, slower than freefall. The build itself fell even slower. You can't count the first objects hitting the ground as the whole building.
Your models probably don't depict this, so you think there's some big problem.
I have some questions about the whole demolition problem, from logistics to tricking everyone who worked at the WTC, but I'd just like to see your reasoning of why you think the building's final collapse occurred at freefall speeds.
Come now, let's not fight for his attention- we can take turns...You could address my post. I know it has little to do with the windmill you frequently complain about, but it is core to your argument.

I will look through and find the Materials Specs page.
You said;You are a LIAR. I have never used the word "blu____nt" in this thread. You will have a hard time finding where I have ever referred to them since I have done it so rarely I can't even remember. But I have not seen any that show the horizontal beams in the core so I think they are worthless anyway.

You said;
"distributions of steel and concrete down the buildings"
Which is found in the __________.
Fill in the blank.
Ok, what Core are you talking about, anyway?If the blue prints don't have the horizontal beams of the core then.....
It is not my fault they you think you can think. I see what is blank.

Oh... God... I'm dying here... You tell people you've been researching this all these years?!?! Really?
WTC 1 & 2 did not have cores.

http://www.nist.gov/el/disasterstudies/wtc/faqs_wtctowers.cfmConsider a typical floor immediately below the level of collapse initiation and conservatively assume that the floor is still supported on all columns (i.e., the columns below the intact floor did not buckle or peel off due to the failure of the columns above). Consider further the truss seat connections between the primary floor trusses and the exterior wall columns or core columns. The individual connection capacities ranged from 94,000 pounds to 395,000 pounds, with a total vertical load capacity for the connections on a typical floor of 29,000,000 pounds (see Section 5.2.4 of NIST NCSTAR 1-6C). The total floor area outside the core was approximately 31,000 square feet, and the average load on a floor under service conditions on Sept. 11, 2001, was 80 pounds per square foot. Thus, the total vertical load on a floor outside the core can be estimated by multiplying the floor area (31,000 square feet) by the gravitational load (80 pounds per square foot), which yields 2,500,000 pounds (this is a conservative load estimate since it ignores the weight contribution of the heavier mechanical floors at the top of each WTC tower). By dividing the total vertical connection capacity (29,000,000 pounds) of a floor by the total vertical load applied to the connections (2,500,000 pounds), the number of floors that can be supported by an intact floor is calculated to be a total of 12 floors or 11 additional floors.
Tell the NIST

Tell you what, I don't think I will waste my time reading your posts anymore.

You're referring to a central Core which is common in highrises whereas that NIST report wording was specific: Core Columns. There's a difference you apparently don't know about and it's why you threw me for a loop. You had said core several times before I caught on to what you meant.Tell the NIST
Heh, you don't anyway.Tell you what, I don't think I will waste my time reading your posts anymore.
See...I know you...and I know you won't post a complete theory of what happened on 9/11... because you are mentally ill. For some reason, knowing that the NIST report doesn't have certain terms that you searched for gives you comfort that that they are wrong and you are right. It feels good to be right...so you won't admit anything else...because your pussy ass that doesn't want to feel stupid.
