Mile-high skyscraper coming?
Science.engineering question of the day:
If the WTC towers took 10 to 11 seconds to collapse, how long would it take for a mile high tower to collapse to the ground?
The temptation will the there (for the terrorists). It's like a mountain for mountain climbers or a bank for bank robbers or a jumbo-jet for skyjackers..

Faster than the speed of sound if physics challenged conspiracy theorists get their way.

Another engineering question . . .
What would 200-300 mph winds do to such buildings?
or
a magnitude 10 or so quake?
= = = =
Given that Scripture says every mountain and island will be displaced . . . could be interesting.

The temptation will the there (for the terrorists). It's like a mountain for mountain climbers or a bank for bank robbers or a jumbo-jet for skyjackers.. Buildings should be limited to single floor or less to prevent terrorist attacks.
