Now that is a good analogy. To the OP: Too many still think that the Neville Chamberlain style of achieving a false peace is the way to go. They declared war on us, we are fighting the war like our freedom depends on it, which it does.

I guess it is a little paranoid, but I put this in the same category as taking a rig onboard visible/on the shoulder. I know that I don't want to get security to notice me. If the altimeter can't be seen except by you, then someone may wonder what you're looking at, but I don't think the curiosity would be as great compared to having an alti out for all to see.

I think it worth mentioning that Jane Six-pack might see you looking at your alti with scary looking dials and red/yellow markings. It only takes one nervous old lady to cause a lot of grief.

Subs sometimes like to practice shadowing civilian ships by staying underneath them. The sub can't easily be distinguished on sonar from the surface ship. Perhaps these collisions are the result of the shadowing being done a little too aggressively. I wonder if a collision is as scary as what fisherman have encountered when they catch a sub in their nets. Didn't that happen near Bangor many years ago?

They pay so much for toilet seats because the toilet seat must be shown to comply with the specification for such a device, with the paperwork documenting all testing and such filed in triplicate...

actually quite the opposite . according to the nist report only 10-15% of the columns were damaged. and since the colums were capable of sustaining 2000 times their load without failure it is quite shocking that the towers exploded..sorry collapsed. Now you're portraying the initial damage to the towers as inconsequential! From where did you get your assertion that the columns had a safety factor of 2000? This is a good example of armchair engineering run amok. Do you accept all the claims of the conspiracy theorists? Are there any assertions that you don't believe?

Even if the fireproofing was only knocked off the areas directly impacted, that is still a significant area. You are assuming that it is insignificant, with nothing but your intuition to back it up. It is amazing that neither tower collapsed from the initial hits. Not much more of the structure needed to be weakened for it all to fail. Why isn't that intuitive? Again, WTC 7 was observed to be bowing/bending long before the collapse. Do you assert that this was part of the intentional demolition? Seems like evidence that the damage sustained was much worse than you want to admit. When all else fails, trying to pull bldg 7 out of the hat doesn't convince, none of this junk is convincing because so many of the claims are so easily refuted. No matter how many times you add zero to itself it is still zero. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

To the extent that the building should have been able to withstand an impact with a jet airliner, it was probably figured that the plane would be going about 1/2 the speed it did on 9/11 (as if it was at a normal speed while flying a landing pattern). Double the speed means it would have 4 times as much energy. Also, the buildings did survive the impact. What was not realized was that the fireproofing would get blown off, that changes the entire picture of whether the fire will burn out before the steel gets too hot. I used to work for Factory Mutual, which is the equivalent of Underwriter Laboratories for fire control. I do not agree with your assessment that the sprinkler system combined with broken pipes should have been able to suppress the fire. Sprinkler systems are designed to prevent small fires from getting big. If the fire is big to begin with, it won't work, and the fire not only started out big, but the sprinkler systems would have suffered broken pipes. Having water gushing out of broken pipes is not an effective way of putting out such a huge fire, no matter what you think. Jets don't use av gas, that is used in piston planes, jets use a fuel much like kerosene, and pools of it will burn for a very long time (from personal experience testing helicopter fuel tanks). Where did you get the idea that the fuel is "designed" to burn fast in case of landing crashes? The other building (if you mean bldg 7) was severely damaged by the WTC collapse, and had a severe fire for several hours.

Thanks, with help from Walt and ypelchat, I realized how to format it. It is strange that the instructions said nothing about the need for that. I asked when I bought it, and they also said it shouldn't require formatting. Oh well, now I'm good to go. Thanks again.

The 2nd drive is there and working properly when I check it under Device Manager, but it isn't there when I open the My Computer folder. That seems very strange, I hope someone might have an idea to help me. I've checked and rechecked that I installed the jumpers on the 2 drives correctly, and tried all the manual/auto settings possible in the BIOS for slave/master, etc. I've followed all the instructions carefully, but no change. I'm running Windows XP home edition. I might just get an enclosure for it and use it as an external drive, this is so frustrating.

Yes, it has all the seats and full interior. The oxygen masks will also drop down if the pilots keep it pressurized at field elevation until 8K.

I think that would be an example of a 'false choice'. You present only 2 possibilities, but there are more. A fully loaded wide body plane flown at very high speed crashed into the buildings, helping along with the collapse. Perhaps you forgot about that little bit of the story.

I don't know what is to complain about it. Before I removed my RSL, the excess stayed perfectly stowed. A big advantage of VSE's RSL is that it has no velcro, which can destroy webbing, etc. such as a reserve riser if the hook is accidentally left exposed.

The reason the steel didn't get that hot was because most of the jet fuel exploded outside the building and fires only burned for less than an hour. This can be seen on all videos. All steel is certified to something. UL may have only been involved in certifing the fire proofing (which they deny), but when steel leaves its plant it is documented to withstand certain conditions and meet certain criteria. To think that steel is sold to people that are going to use it to build buildings...and have no idea what that steel is made of or capable of withstanding is silly. The Environmental Health Laboratories website doesn't exist (www.ehl.cc). Ryan's letter says "UL Says NO WAY WTC Steel Could Melt At 2000 F". This is of course obvious and irrelevant. Steel becomes weak at much lower temperatures that are typical of the WTC fire. To claim that the fire exposed the steel to just 500 F is ridiculous. I also would expect UL to fire the guy. I wouldn't want such a crackpot in my organization. A scientist should be able to make better judgements.

Here is something very interesting regarding the steel that supposedly broke or melted. This letter is from: Kevin R. Ryan Site Manager of the Environmental Health Laboratories South Bend, Indiana (Company site - www.ehl.cc) A division of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc They are the people who certified the steel...Long story short they say that steel was fine and contest to this day there was no problem. Of course they need to cover their ass, but the letter is interesting. http://www.rense.com/general59/ul.htm As far as the inspection of the steel goes, I showed earlier that they only had a chance to look at 20% of the damaged steel. The letter above also talks about this a bit too. That letter appears to be full of shit. there is no www.ehl.cc website, there was no certification of the steel by UL, the letter claims that the steel should have seen temps no higher than 500 F - which if true would mean that no fireproofing of the steel would have been needed. All of this is of course pure bullshit.

There wasn't just a clean hole with no other damage. Attached are some pics from the pentagon early on, where the widespread damage across the face is clear: Is there any assertion of the conspiracy theorists that you concede is not true?

Since I am definately one of these non-engineer types you describe, I thought of a question you could answer for me. Has there been any changes to the structural requirements for the large skyscrapers since 9-11 that you are aware of? It sounds kinda like the structures 'failed' in some way or another, and if that is the case, then building codes should change as a result right? Thicker steel maybe? Thicker concrete floors? Please understand this is a serious question. I don't think it has happened yet, but I think some are pushing for/developing firproofing that sticks better, and wider stairwells with tougher walls.
