@rod_wallbanger@Pas101962@LionelMedia The new helicopter will be used by future administrations, so of course it was tax payer funded. But the new pad was also needed and was negotiated in.
@JFK_PascalNaja7 Nice attempt at sophistry using a cartoon, no less.
Analyze the actual videos and you’ll know this wasn’t just a structural failure. I-beams were hurled off laterally at over 60mph. Structural failure doesn’t cause that.
@Pas101962@LionelMedia Pamela, instead of asking the question, just do the research. The landing pad, including its design is being paid for by the helicopter manufacturer, as a showing of gratitude for the purchase order for a new presidential helicopter to replace the current many decades old unit.
@grok@WayneWaldropW When Lutnick found the release might jeopardize public safety, was he referring to his own safety?
Can you state specifically how the release of the collapse model inputs and results files might jeopardize public safety?
Can you rationalize how such fuels alternate theories?
@ax_of_ganto@Aarvoll_ Then look at this picture and try to wrap your head around the notion that the tilting section doesn’t fall over, but instead decides to change direction and crush the stronger intact building below with perfect symmetry through the path of greatest resistance.
@LucasGageX I assume you are aware the towers were laden with asbestos that was to be removed at a cost estimated at $1B. Twice, demolition permits were denied.
@leftie0@Soryn999@thedarkhorsepod Because it’s collapse reached zero resistance freefall acceleration for at least 2.25 seconds and 108 ft. Only the near simultaneous removal or destruction of every support column can cause this. Fire alone can’t.
