Newton’s 3rd Law states that object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A when A exerts a force on B.

So it doesn’t matter how fast a “plane” is going when it hits a skyscraper. The result is still a completely obliterated plane outside the building. It is literally the same effect as if you put a Boeing 767 on a giant golf tee and smacked it with a steel and concrete skyscraper going hundreds of mph.

Planes crumple and become disfigured even when in flight.

Skyscrapers like the twin towers, on the other hand, are specifically designed to withstand such trauma. Look at construction pictures and see the concrete-filled trusses and steel columns involved in their construction.

This would be akin to saying that a beer can will go into a tree trunk if you shoot the can fast enough.

I agree that the “how” of 9/11 isn’t nearly as important as the “who” and “why.” But it also gets tiresome seeing assertions that “no planes” is some sort of psy-op when it’s clearly the best explanation for the video we were shown.

I could make the entire case here, or at least show a lot more evidence, but let’s just see what weak-ass opposition arises first.

No, you're saying a lighter/less dense object can't damage a heavier/more dense object. Which is obviously untrue.

Even then, there's glass in between the columns, which is an easy path for the plane parts to travel into the building. The momentum of a large object traveling 100+ mph is not to be discounted.

No, I did not say that at all. Read the title of the post again.

Also the windows of the towers were designed to be tiny to save heating and air conditioning costs. If you look at the picture I posted elsewhere in this thread of a close-up face of the tower you’ll see that it’s mostly a solid structure, and this is not even to mention the horizontal steel trusses on every floor which were filled with concrete.

That's exactly what you said/implied across many comments. Even brought up weight of the tower and torque, as if that had anything to do with what you're describing. That would only be relevant if it pushed the tower over.

Lead & copper is softer than steel, but it can still punch through steel targets if it's going fast enough. That's the function of speed & mass. An object colliding with a solid mass will go to the path of least resistance, which in this case is around/through the columns like a car wrapping itself around a light pole. Add thousands of gallons of fuel colliding with a grate made of steel and thermite and it's basically like a water balloon hitting a chain link fence.

I didn’t bring torque up. I was telling another user who brought it up that it was not relevant. We are talking about the impossibility of a fragile hollow object going inside a relatively massive and dense object. It would be like getting a beer can into a tree trunk. No matter the speed, it is impossible. This is why you can’t provide a real life example of anything analogous to this.
