Taiwan hotel shows how weakened structures are supposed to fall
Duh! Toward the weakened side of the structure!
 
Weakened hotel obeys Newton's Laws          Weakened WTC7 violates Newton's Laws

Defenders of the 9-11 killers often explain away the 5:20 p.m. demolition of WTC Building 7 by pointing out that its lower support structure had been severely damaged on the south side of the building...the side that allegedly suffered a "lethal" blow from WTC1's so-called "collapse" earlier in the day.

The demolition deniers point to a photo of WTC7 showing one of an alleged "several" sections of its lower structure that had been "scooped out" on its damaged side, then they smugly ask: How do you expect a building that's lost an entire side of its support structure to behave?! Of course it's gonna fall down!!

Maybe so. But if a steel frame building is going to fall down, it still must fall in accordance with Newton's Laws. Otherwise, an arson investigation becomes necessary to check for evidence of thermite.

Yesterday's hotel disaster in Taiwan provides the ideal visual explanation for how WTC7 should have fallen -- assuming its fall really was "inevitable."

For just like WTC7, the Taiwan hotel became unstable on one side, (due to a swollen river's high waters). Yet unlike WTC7, it toppled over in just the way one would naturally expect: toward its weakened side.

The physical reality is that damaged structures that end up falling down will always fall in the direction of their weakened sides -- unless of course pre-planted explosives were the real cause of the destruction.

As all the available video evidence clearly shows, Building 7's damage (and fires) were confined mainly to its south side, yet it somehow didn't topple in a southerly direction. Instead it fell remarkably vertically, through the path of most resistance and at near freefall speed. Such a clear violation of Newton's Laws makes the so-called "collapse" of WTC7 one of 9-11's biggest smoking guns.

The only possible defense of Barack Obama's war on Afghanistan now will be to argue that the Taiwanese hotel's structural integrity was more capable of resisting a pancake collapse than the fricken command post for the World fricken Trade Center, which was super-fortified and even housed Rudy Giuliani's City Emergency Command Bunker. So good luck to the Obamanoids in trying to make that silly argument.

History repeats

Just as the Democrats' Vietnam crime became "Nixon's war" back in 1968, today the neocons' 9-11 crime has become Obama's war. It appears the warmongers have figured out that by simply swapping team jerseys every few years they can bamboozle most Americans into supporting fraudulent wars.
