If you think skyscrapers have engineered redundancy to withstand multiple impacts of 747's regardless of I-beam melting points, I don't know what to tell you.

Tell me you didn't read what I posted AND know nothing about WTC architecture AND are repeating irrelevant talking points without telling me....

Don't get me wrong. I'm impressed you did all that in just one short post. That's remarkable. Clearly been smelling your own flatulence the right way.

"Yes, the World Trade Center towers were engineered to withstand the impact of a large jet."

Neither of the towers were hit by "multiple impacts" and neither were hit by "747s."

- A jet is incapable of the shearing of steel girders witnessed in the crater.
- Jet fuel is incapable of the shearing.
- Jet fuel is also incapable of a sustained high temperature burn. It ignites and reaches temperatures as high as 1700° and then is done.
- There is nothing normally used in an office building/skyscraper that burns to the temperatures necessary to weaken steel girders to the point that they would be cut rather than bent (and even bending them is impossible within the engineered structure at the sustained temps of the fires that day).

In order for a single steel girder to be deformed/bent, they would ALL have to be bent because of the steel reinforced concrete flooring to which they were attached. Were they bent, the building would not have fallen straight down and also not at near freefall speed.

I don't generally talk about it on here because of people's cognitive dissonance and the pointlessness of arguing with people that don't know anything about architectural engineering or metallurgy, and that will never be revealed and truly investigated in this world in my lifetime. But if you want to argue about it, there are a lot more engineers with data and history to back them up that will crush any of your arguments.

St. Louis Cardinals signed Dustin May to a one year contract. We'll see; I don't think he's pitched more than 56 innings in a season in like 3 years. Doesn't hurt to take a flyer though, he's got good stuff.


He was mostly ineffective for my RedSox last season. Still seemed to have some heat, but control got him in trouble often.
Good luck with him.

Heard Erika was married before. Can't find that being true- just photoshoots with ex boyfriends.

Didn't know she was on Bravo's Summer House dating show which filmed in 2018 and aired early 2019.

I guess it could be worse. We could be living in Fairbanks, AK, -43 tonight.
I Was there for a 30 day training mission back in the early 80's with the 101st and it got that cold with some heavy winds that made the wind chill factor around -70 or so. I was in the mountain ranges there setting up our howitzers and firing them from a mountain training area. We spent a week in the field with the weather that cold.

Seems like a lot of math hasn't been mathing... seems more like Hollywood physics than actual math...

How could the leader of a world power get shot in broad daylight surrounded by security, most all of the witness statements be lost, the investigation get led by his political enemies, and all of the intel be classified for 60 years?

How could 2 separate 1300ft tall buildings built to withstand airplane strikes, each structure connected by an engineering marvel of steel girders that only begins to melt at 2750° and 110 floors, each a composite of steel and concrete 6.5 inches thick, fall into their own footprints at free fall speed, after fires reaching a maximum of 1500° over a short span, and with virtually no sign at each site of the 60ft tall mass of the composite floors alone, evidence of cut steel everywhere, and the entire rubble is immediately shipped off to China not only without investigation, but people were physucally and legally prevented from looking at it closely? How would multiple US congressman and DC politicians happen to know to sell off their airline stocks in advance? How could horrible pilots with little training happen to fly a commercial plane into a 1st floor govt budget office the day after 6B dollars is reported to mysteriously have gone missing... from the same govt budget? What if this happened over one of the most guarded air spaces in the world?

How could one of the world's strongest military branches order nearly their entire Pacific fleet to gather at one base, declare leave for almost all personnel, and then move their prized carrier group out before dawn on the day of the attack, when their own intel (East Wind, Rain) suggested an attack was imminent... if they didnt know about it?

How could a young man receiving death threats getting shot in broad daylight surrounded by "security," while at least 5 people don't panic, don't flinch, don't worry about being shot, and casually take evidence from the scene of an active shooter, and there's no investigation, no autopsy, no disclosure of threats he said he had been receiving, and no interest on a national scale even after the crime scene and any evidence was paved over completely within a few weeks?

How could widespread public reports of a scene of multiple homicides somehow go missing from local and national statistics, between the event and the wrapping up of the investigation, never to be corrected even decades later?

When did destruction of federally subpoenaed evidence become a non-prosecutable crime, not once, but multiple counts on at least 2 separate occasions for the same people, while stating a property value could get you 20 overturned convictions when no one was harmed in doing so?

No idea if anything like this has ever happened, but if it did, I'm sure no one would let it stand, and fail to ensure justice prevailed. Such things could be a bad sign of a rogue system run by colluding criminals with no fear of consequences. Wouldn't you think?

You need help.

technically, you can’t tell the difference between a vegan brat and a real brat.

I throw that organic yellow mustard, add some wild fermented kraut, some clover sprouts and a Dave’s Killer bun and you got yourself a nice hot dawg (we call plant based hot dogs “hot dawgs”
Plant based, is that the same thing as a grass dog? Asking for a friend!

One of my relatives was stationed somewhere up there for 6 months. Could never complain about cold weather within earshot of him.

I woke up this morning and it's the first thing I saw after I made my coffee and booted up my PC. I'm sick of it; I'm done with what the Left (people like Dion, the idiots hwo made people like him) have done to this country and our Civilization in general.

Done.

It’s why I cannot understand why leftists cannot see: Trump is the MODERATE option.

If they refuse to allow him to deport dangerous people and ideologies, what comes next is completely on their hands.

I watched a documentary about Yakutsk in Siberia. The coldest city in the world. It was amazing how people survived the winters which lasts for 9 months. Cars have to be left running 24/7 which creates a bad smog. Kids go to school as long as the temperature is above -55. They have to get water by cutting ice from river flows. People usually take only 1 shower a week in an outside shower hut. Frozen fish is a staple. It went on and on. No thanks.

I don’t get it. Why are people going after Erika Kirk.

I mean, I get that they’re hateful ******** who want to demean her husband by dragging a widow through the mud…but how does that help their cause?

Lol. Wow what an angry and long screed. Clearly I questioned your golden calf. You're correct in that they were 767s and 1 hit each tower. (It's been 24 years ok). Without sitting here and calculating the impact force of a 400,000 lbs 767 flying at I'm guessing is around 540 mph into a stationary object. I believe it's fair to assume it could compromise the structural integrity of 18- 24" structural I beams with the force of impact alone. Secondly, you seem fixated on the ignition of jet fuel not being able to melt the structural beams. But you are failing to consider the resulting thermal expansion and then sagging that would occur on an already compromised structure. It only takes one floor floor collapsing for the momentum to pancake the whole structure, which appears to be what happened. No, conspiratorial controlled demolition needed.
But yeah, let's pretend I'm the one making the ridiculous assumption(s).
