Subject: Re: [LPNY DISCUSS] Re: Trust Allah Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2004 14:43:47 -0500 To: From: Bob Armstrong I will emend what I said only to the point that I am positive= metric analysis of the videos of the collapse are essentially perfectly= understood . And again , particularly with the collapse of 7= from the roasting oil at the base , the ONLY way the building can= collapse is straight down . Any angular momentum imparted by off center strength of the supports is trivial compared to the vertical gravitational force . Google the issue some ; the= non-intuitiveness of it makes it a phenomenon long commented upon .
