You seem to have forgotten the fuel
was inside the plane, not traveling and gaining that sort of speed on it's own.

BadComrade wrote:I can stand on top of an empty coke can, and it will support me forever. I can quickly "hop" and bend my knee to build up a little energy, and that can will crush flat, because of the kinetic energy I built up in the "hop". Same thing goes for the steel colums that were standing for years: 80 mile an hour wind pushing up against an entire building and a heavy fucking jet moving at 500 mph have nothing at all in common.
You might be the king of bad analogies. What you've described has nothing to do with the integrity of the steel in the towers. Most of the jet fuel was burned by the time it had a chance of hitting anything inside the building in it's liquid state. "But, look what happens to a coke can...."

I'd rather take the time to explore all the possible theories, and make up my own mind, than to brush away the inconsistencies like you. This has nothing to do with Clocker. I'm responding to this circus you and Big Dave are making by pointing to ridiculous shit that doesn't fit the situation.
BadComrade wrote:I'll agree, the firehose analogy wasn't the best one, but it makes more sense than your own.
Yes, my analogy about what a steel column can take was far less on point than one about a firehose. Jesus.

What a good comparision, Badboy. Mix together a ball of jet fuel, with something specially designed to cut into steel. You're on top of this argument.
