Dr. Thomas Eager, a materials and structural engineer at MIT was one of the experts who examined the towers' collapse. Here's some of his thoughts: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/wtc/collapse.html Much, much more here. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/wtc/ > The buildings 1,2 and 7 fell at near free fall time 10 seconds.

"The collapse was a near free-fall. With no restraint, the collapse would have taken eight seconds and would have impacted at about 185 miles per hour." My goodness. Looks like your calculations are wrong.

All we have to believe is that an entire crew of workers, working for weeks, carefully planted explosive charges in the right places, concealing all the evidence of same and ***not being seen by anyone who questioned their presence*** IN BOTH TOWERS, hauling in tons of high explosives and wiring and detonators, etc., etc., drilling through concrete without being noticed and running all these wires out to a hidden location without anyone seeing anything and then waiting for two planes to hit the buildings so they could detonate their charges without anyone noticing what they were up to. I'm surprised that you would be so gullible. -- Paul Schmehl (pauls@...allas.edu) Adjunct Information Security Officer The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/ .edu/ir/security/ Clearswift monitors, controls and protects all its messaging traffic in compliance with its corporate email policy using Clearswift products.
