And guess what? It doesn’t fucking matter how fast the “plane” was going. If you say it does, you don’t understand easily demonstrable basic physics.
That's the thing. I do understand physics and it absolutely matters how fast the plane was going. A 147gr copper bullet traveling at 4000 FPS will go right through 3/8 inch of AR500 ballistic steel. The same bullet at 3000 FPS will do nothing. Energy increases at the square of velocity. I don't think the planes took down the towers, but a fleck of paint can go through steel if it is traveling fast enough.
A bullet =/= a hollow aluminum aircraft
A 3/8 piece of steel =/= 8 floors of concrete-filled steel trusses
Please devise and perform an experiment where you show that a relatively light and hollow object can pass all the way into a relatively solid and dense object.
Here's a 3mm aluminum speck blowing through kevlar.
Well I guess you’ve shown that a solid piece of aluminum can go through a half-centimeter of Kevlar.
Now if that only had anything to do with a hollow aluminum plane going through 200 feet of a steel and concrete building.
