| Dropping the steel block first on the floors that met code deflection yielded a very different result. | |
| So I reduced the number of planks which didn't meet deflection criteria, and still the block decelerated and eventually stopped. | |
| Five sheets of glass were broken in that test. | |
| The only thing that I've found that is even similar to what we're doing are people who are trying to disprove 9-11 being a terrorist attack. | |
| I have literally found probably 10 websites using an example of dropping a bowling ball through panes of glass to explain why the Twin Towers is a conspiracy. | |
| ...pizza cover supports as my columns. | |
| Dropping about 15% of the floor system on the lower structure always demonstrated a deceleration. | |
| I even removed the upper plastic supports to make the falling floors denser. | |
| I wanted to make the weakest walls possible, even if it didn't meet deflection codes. | |
| So I used paper and matchsticks for my walls. | |
| Raising the upper floors and dropping them on the lower floors, I didn't get the results I was looking for. | |
| Instead of accelerating down like tower one, the upper floors decelerated, even on the weakest of supports. | |
| But since the towers were burning, I set my model on fire in the hope of replicating the motions observed with them. | |
| Unlike steel, my paper walls burned until they could no longer support the deadloads, and then began to accelerate, but soon that downward motion was arrested and then stopped. | |
| Until the fire weakened the next paper wall. | |
| This continued for quite some time, but never did I witness the acceleration and total destruction of the entire system like we did on September 11th. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Wow! | |
| And that is this week's nerd war. |
