I'm not deciding for sure what I believe regarding the light polls just yet, but part of making that decision, at least for myself, is determining how the polls should have reacted if they were in fact hit by a 757. Give me your thoughts and findings on the following, please. 1. How far from the bases did the poles travel after being hit? 2. How fast was the plane travelling when it allegedly crossed this path? 3. How much does the plane allegedly weigh? Does anyone know how to find a calculation (or familiar with this sort of calculation) that will tell us, based on mass of plane, kenetic energy of plane at this speed, and how far it should have projected the polls based on the mass of the polls? In my imagination at least, which although is not a scientific simulator but IS based on logic, it seems that thes light poles would not have been massive enough to simply by knocked over and/ or sliced. It seems that even if the energy of the wings simply sheared the poles, that those pieces of pole, in most cases, depending on exactly how they were struck, would have been found MUCH farther from their original positions. Think of how far the engines of the planes at the WTC travelled... I believe on of them was ejected through the other side, after impacting building contents etc... and possibly some of the building's structure itself. If one of those engines can be ejected so far, why would these poles simply be knocked over, more or less? Thanks. pictures for reference>
