Another Amazing Coincidence Related To The Wtc, By Kevin Ryan Options

[rob balsamo]

Kevin Ryan does an excellent job here connecting the dots.

There appears to be a remarkable correlation between the floors upgraded for fireproofing in the WTC towers, in the years preceding 9/11/01, and the floors of impact, fire and failure. The fireproofing upgrades would have allowed for shutdown of the affected floors, and the exposure of the floor assemblies and the columns for a significant period of time. Exactly what work was done during that time?

In some sections of the NIST WTC report, the exact floors upgraded are listed. Other sections of the report suggest even more floors were upgraded, a total of 18 floors in WTC 1 and 13 floors in WTC 2, but the additional floors involved are not specified.[1]

The pentagon strike just "happened" to be in a reinforced section, and now we find out the same for WTC on both towers. 3 for 3. Geee, what are the odds?

I'm good with that.

My own view is that since so many people are asking this question and since they are tax payers, it would seem possible to get answers. I think where this position gets into trouble is that there is no way to create an actual mathematical or engineering model of the WTC towers and then play with the forces which might have been involved so we can get a recreation.

This is true for several reasons.

The first is the complexity of doing the calculations on a computer, gathering actual data, etc.. In all the papers I've looked at the math is very simplified even if it involves the integral calculus as compared to the actual event. Two papers I've read one by Bazant and one by Greg Urich have awfully simplified models for the events for just this reason.

The other way to do it is to create a scale model of WTC and figure out some way to mimic the forces on it directly. This is very tricky to do because things don't scale linearly. So, you can't have, say, 110 floors 1 inch apart and "cut one out" because there's no where near that correct gravitational energy involved. So, you'd have to make the steel and concrete much much weaker.

We can't use any real forensic techniques at this late date. We don't really have samples you can trust and we don't have any video which shows what's inside that smoke and debris and concrete getting pulverized. What did the fire actually burn? How much oxygen was actually available?

I'm not an engineer just to be clear, but I've been involved from time to time with creating models and I know it gets really complex really fast. So, I'm afraid that even calling for a "reinvestigation" and getting one will fall short of assuaging the concerns of those who think there were "explosives" in the buildings (or cutter charges).
