Jerry Russell, PhD, holding a Masters in Engineering from Stanford, claims that
the collapses were more likely the result of controlled demolition than from fire
damage. He writes:
Fires do not destroy skyscrapers. Never in the history of steel frame structures
has a single one been destroyed by fire. How to destroy a skyscraper. So, how do
you destroy a skyscraper? Suppose you need the vacant land to build another one,
for example
…The most effective, cleanest, safest way to destroy a skyscraper is known as
controlled demolition. The trick is to distribute explosives at key points
throughout the structure. The explosives are detonated simultaneously,
destroying the integrity of the steel frame at key points, such that no part of the
building is supported against the force of gravity. The entire mass is pulled swiftly
to earth, where gravity does the work of pounding the structure into tiny
fragments of steel and concrete. The gravitational potential energy of the
structure is converted smoothly and uniformly into kinetic energy, and then is
available very efficiently to pulverize the fragments of the building as they impact
against the unyielding earth. Controlled demolitions have a striking and
characteristic appearance of smooth, flowing collapse. As your eyes will tell you,
the World Trade Center collapses looked like controlled demolitions. Here's the
proof.
The proof. According to the law of gravity, it is possible to calculate the time it
takes for an object to fall a given distance. The equation is H=(1/2)at2, where H is
the height, a is the acceleration of gravity (10 meters per second squared) and t is
time in seconds. Plug in the height of the building at 1350 feet (411 meters) and
we get 9 seconds. That is just about the length of time it took for the very top of
the World Trade Center to fall to the street below. According to all reports, the
whole thing was over in just about ten seconds.
It is as if the entire building were falling straight down through thin air. As if the
entire solid structure below, the strong part which had not been burned or sliced
or harmed in any significant way, just disappeared into nothingness. Yet this
(within a small tolerance) is what we would expect to find if there had been a
