Somehow i knew that Koko wouldn't know what those two failure modes were. So much for a demonstration of his understanding of the causes of stress / strain induced fracture.
that because you like others of your ilk construct ill framed questions. there are 3 failure modes. You for got BIG BODDA FODDA BOOM! FODDA BOOM BOOM BOOM BAM SLAM BOOM SPARKLE FARKLE BOOMA LOOMA Oh and ^^^^^^^^^^^^ thats NBC LOL BIG FODDA SHROOMA BOOMA
Good science demands proof in the form of repeatable experimentation. Anyone, using the same criteria can conduct the experiment and come up with the same result. Example: One can separate H20 into hydrogen and oxygen with an electric current. Anyone can do this.
The question isn't the problem. The problem is that the respondent doesn't know the answer. That's because, despite the respondents instance that physics was violated in some way, it's quite evident that the respondent doesn't have a lick of knowledge on the subject of structural engineering, or the physics applicable therein. There are 2 failure modes for columns subject to compression. Those modes are crushing and buckling. Whether the failure mode will be one or the other is dependent on the slenderness ratio of the column and the stress - strain curve of the material the column is made of. Fracture is the final result of both modes of failure. A buckled column almost completely loses its ability to support load at the point of plastic deformation. At the point of fracture, it carries zero load. (just like the spaghetti) The main point of discussion that discredits psi's silly washer and paper loop model is not the fracture of the column. The main point is that the mass of the column is accelerated out from under the falling mass due to buckling. This means that perfect layers of mass did not impact perfect layers of mass just like his simplistic washer model.
the answer however is once again BIG BODDA FODDA BOOM BAMAZOOMA See when you get BIG BODDA FODDA BOOMA DA WEIGHTA IS A TO MUCHA AND IT BUCKOS LIKA DATA HAFFA WAYA BATWEENA DA IMPACTA AND TOPPA VEWY VEWY CONVIENENTA MAKA DA SHROOMA LIKA DATA Simple physics boom and it all faws down!

I don't understand why you think your posts are in any way a lucid response to the points and issues I raised with your puerile and unscientific picture based argument.
Did you find where I "cut and pasted" that explanation of thermonuclear weapons from yet? Do you think it was from someplace sciency? I'll bet you do...
koko can't even use the word 'troughers' correctly,and he takes someone else to task for their research?.... LOL
Run away,run awayyyyyyyyyyyy. getting anything from koks regarding 9/11 is like pulling teeth,apparently...
Life is full of hate when one lives in one's parent's basement and they can't get anything right in their posts.
and the troughers are so weak they have been reduced to spelling nazis again! Hell they cant even get that right and they try to analyse the wtc demolitions LOL
