How high should a collapsed 110 storey rubble pile be?

I reckon for a building the size of WTC 1 or 2 appx' 300ft, what does anyone else think? higher? lower?

300' is over 20% of the original height of the buildings. I'd say your estimate is much too high.SHERITON HOTEL wrote:I reckon for a building the size of WTC 1 or 2 appx' 300ft, what does anyone else think? higher? lower?
And your point is?SHERITON HOTEL wrote:According to a 9/11 DVD I recently purchased the 47 storey WTC building 7 rubble pile was higher than either WTC1 or 2's 'rubble piles', absolutely dwarfing both of them! 7's was appx' 4 storeys high at its pyramidal peak, 10% of its original height? (accurate figures are difficult due to Mayor Guiliani adding trucked in soil to the piles for reasons better known to himself).
That - in your own words - would be the "pyramidal peak", not the mean height. Even then only 10% of the original height of WTC7. Assuming a very nice pyramid, this would come in at 3.3% of original height.SHERITON HOTEL wrote:According to a 9/11 DVD I recently purchased the 47 storey WTC building 7 rubble pile was higher than either WTC1 or 2's 'rubble piles', absolutely dwarfing both of them! 7's was appx' 4 storeys high at its pyramidal peak, 10% of its original height?

I am not disputing anything at this point as I do not know what point you are trying to make. If you are not making a point I can dispute nothing.SHERITON HOTEL wrote:Do you dispute this data? does the truth hurt? wibble's wobblong but he won't fall down!
Sheriton Hotel is making an obvious point obliquely. Because you don't know how to rebut it, you pretend that he is not making one so that you don't have to admit you cannot explain the anomaly to which he referred. Let me make his point clear so that even you can understand: WTC7's pile of rubble was much higher than either that of WTC1 or WTC2, despite being only 70 floors high, compared with the 110 floors of these buildings. Now even a moron will notice something anomalous in this, although of course not those who don't want to see problems, however glaring they are. If gravity alone had driven their collapse and destruction, the piles of rubble for the larger towers would have been taller because they contained far more material - geddit? The fact that they were not supports the proposition (obvious to anyone except those who are in denial about 9/11) that much of the material of the South and North Towers never fell to the ground as large chunks of concrete because it was pulverised by high explosives into fine dust, much of which was scattered and fell over a wide area, leaving a smaller debris pile, unlike WTC7, whose controlled demolition was conventional, leaving large pieces of debris in the crushed floors and a higher debris pile.Wibble wrote:I am not disputing anything at this point as I do not know what point you are trying to make.

So asking what the relative claimed heights were, and whether the WTC1+2 basements are included in the calculations counts as "splitting hairs"? Seems to me like they're absolutely fundamental to the issue being debated.Micpsi wrote:Sheraton Hotel did not need to provide figures. It takes only five minutes studying images of the WTC complex after 9/11 with Google to verify what he was stating. In fact, it is common knowledge amongst 9/11 researchers. The point implied in what he said is obvious. But, as usual, the skeptics use their bluster and splitting hairs to hide their inability to rebut an argument that undermines their belief in the official story of 9/11.
Or vice-versa? Or maybe it's supposed - in some obscure way - to prove both were CD'd ?Wibble wrote:I am still waiting for the Truther to provide all the data rather than picking and choosing the bits they like.
And
Are you implying that the WTC was CD and WTC7 was not?
Me too. Perhaps they just dematerialised? Was a "cloaking device" involved?Wibble wrote:Still waiting
Not avoiding. Simply not wasting my precious time proving my statements to those who don't want to be convinced.Wibble wrote:He is active on other threads but seems to be avoiding this. How strange for a Truther to avoid backing up their statements and claims.
