First off, much like how cars are engineered with crashes in mind, when large towers are designed there is a considerable effort put towards managing how the building will fail. Being that you don't want a 100 story building to tip over and spread its destruction over many blocks, most of these buildings are designed to collapse inwards and fall ontop of itself. Secondly, being that the weight of materials on tall towers is the primary stress on these buildings they're designed with a relatively small margin of error. When you (effectively) have the weight of dozens of floors falling 1 story because the structure beneath it has given way due to a fire damaging the structural integrity of the building, the force is so much greater than what the building can handle that every story will collapse as they experience this force. |
Hey now... something like 57% of French people believe Straus Khan was set up. Probably by the US because... stuff.
Conspiracy theories are everywhere and stupid. Largely based on the fact that people tend to not listen to actual people who know shit, and most of the conspiracy theory stuff is based on outright lies that can be explained just by the fact that... the stuff stated isn't true.
Me, i just generally assume any 9/11 article or post is just blatant trolling. Since the people who are writing this clearly know how to use the internet and could go to the 10 billion websites that debunk the random bullshit made up arguements that are around.
I've seen better arguements for people claiming the earth is really flat, and Nasa is lieing to us all.
The only conspiracy theory i've seen a bunch of people buy into that was dumber was Zeitgeist... and that's only because they added on two also batshit insane theoreis.
Really, great comedy here on it.
