“””””How could those buildings fall at the speed of gravity - if you put a stopwatch on them both of those World Trade Center buildings were on the ground in ten seconds - how can that be?” asked Ventura. “Never before in the annals of history has a fire caused a steel structure building to fall to the ground like these two did.” “””

And he expected what? The building to fall at faster than gravity??? And if steel cannot be be melted by fire, how on earth does a black smith do his job??

Pity that Jesse spent his service time trying to blow things up, instead of understanding how things work (so he could blow things up better).

I’d like him to define what speed of gravity is in the first place.

"And he expected what? The building to fall at faster than gravity?"

Didn't you get the memo? The towers were brought down by enormous superconducting magnets in the basement. The entire installation was cleverly disguised as a subway station, fooled people for decades.

Jesse has joined that other distinguished physicist Rosie O’Donnell. They can’t even be dignified by the term “conspiracy theorists” because they’re too ignorant to even fabricate a theory that goes beyond the instant laugh-test.

“And he expected what? The building to fall at faster than gravity???”

I don’t think that’s what he was saying. The fastest that the top floor could reach the ground would be if it accelerated downward with the acceleration of gravity, or thirty two feet per second squared. That would be the same time that any weight would fall the same distance. (I don’t know how tall the buildings were, but that minimum t[me is computable and absolute if you know the height).

What he seems to be suggesting is that if the building collapsed, with each floor collapsing the floor underneath, it would have collapsed slower. He is correct about that, but I have know idea how the math works out.

It could, however, be proven mathematically one way or the other.
