mojobanana Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 The energy of a plane hitting a building filled with fuel and weighing in at however many tonnes tore through the building... No material on Earth can withstand the amount of energy that had to be displaced like that! Just worked it out. The Kinetic energy transferred into the building on impact was roughly Five Billion Newtons of force. (a little less accounting for any mass that was fired straight through, any converted to the massive sound etc) For reference 1 Newton is about the force it takes to lift a small apple up through around 1 metre. 38,000kg fuel80,000kg weight.118,000kgEk = 1/2mv^2V= 208mp/s208^2 43264 x 118,000 = 5,105,152,000NVery very few things could withstand that.what he said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer5 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Wrap the word "conspiracy" around anything & you cover the truth, increase public fear & with that change the laws & bring in new ones that without the perception of fear would never pass.Government's love the word.
