I wrote this for anyone having difficulty understanding the Trade Towers collapse.
"The towers were built out of steel and concrete. Concrete is very
vulnerable with a stiff tap or if you drop it, its filled with air and
it breaks pretty easy. A lot of Karate guys exploit this fact when
they do brick breaking or concrete breaking. I always suspected that
there was a trick to the karate guys doing this, and it was even more
well confirmed when I talked to a karate guy who spoke openly about
it. He explained to me about what I mentioned above. Concrete is
filled with air and is very easy to break.
Here below are some things that finally made sense to me after
thinking about karate and towers....
"Freefall" question and resistance beneath: While I'm still too sloppy
to keep track of the exact speed of the towers as they fell, I know
enough to know that when a karate guy stacks some concrete, and puts
his hand through it, all of them will APPEAR to break instantly.
There's not a "level by level" type of thing that is visible to the
naked eye (at least not most of the time). It happens fast and it
looks like its all breaking at once.
I use to think that they would weaken the concrete somehow before
they put their hand through it, but its actually not necessary. People
do it all the time with regular blocks of concrete. Pop the first one
atop all the others and the rest will typically go like dominos as
each one cracks into the other."
