Reply #75: it's important testimony

[OudeVanDagen]

but witness accounts of sounds ... sounds much like "explosions" ... only confirm that the MOE ... that is the Modulous Of Elasticity ... for the structural framing members of these buildings was being exceeded. Destructive compression and tension energies will make sounds just like explosives do ... collapse sequences are not silent.

What is of great value from witness testimony is that when these time sensitive accounts are all compared we investigators can create an audio time line that with visual tapings allows us to link a sound to a collapse sequence.

Those links ... near perfect matches by the way ... between witness accounts and the oft-seen videos actually remove explosives as a possibility .... as does the complete lack of macro and micro evidence ... and chemical evaluation ... of recovered steel framing members.

Collapse sounds like bombs going off ... always has, and always will.

Heavy rains in the south recently ... this past week .... caused numerous roof collapse at supermarkets, home improvemnet centers, and strip malls. All witness statements include "explosions."

Collapse is not silent. Reading about other collapse incidents ... something I've suggested and asked forum members to do ... repeatedly ... will show that these sounds are common to collapse.
