The mass of the plane to tower

[Poacher]

I was reading through some of the comments of professional engineers who have signed up to http://www.ae911truth.org/ the other day (over 200 professional and licensed architects and engineers who question 9/11) and I noticed one of them quote the mass of one of the planes is one tenth of one percent of the total mass of the tower.

Can anyone find out if this is about right? If it is, I think it is an excellent way to get over how the towers could easily stand having the planes flown into them.

Think about it. . . if you have a model tower scaled down in front of you, say a few feet high, and it weighs 100 pounds, and a toy plane weighing about an ounce and you throw it at the tower as hard as you can, it is not going to cause the scaled tower to crumble to the ground.

im not sure but just want to say to do such a thing at home would be impossible unless you could find a way of making the plane travel at the same speed as on 9/11.

im not sure my hands are that powerful.

everything else would need to match also but scaled down, ie: build the towers out of the same materials and same design, and the same with the plane, you'd need the same scaled down contents to fuel the fire also or something inside that would match the material the fire was fueled on.

its to complicated for something to do at home and would be time consuming.

its something that proberbly could be acheived in a lab with funding but i cannot see that happening or anyone along those lines being willing.

anything else or anyother way will just be critised because it dos'nt represent certain aspects of 9/11.

Actually, the idea was more to put into a scale a normal person could understand rather than actually build it to scale!

I am looking for confirmation of the scale of mass. i.e is one plane one tenth of one percent of one tower?

I've fired a slug from an air rifle into a small piece of breeze block, a steel drinks can, and a small earthernware vase.
In each case the slug flattened and ricocheted off
Velocity's not everything.

An empty can - I've penetrated an aluminium can many times over. A steel can isnt anchored and just falls over on impact

I was listening to one of the American radio stations (www.wtprn.com) and one of the broadcasters (Lone Lantern Radio / Gary Franchi which is on around midnight our time) recently has said that someone in the the US had built a scale model of the twin towers and building 7. He spoke, I think, of a meeting in Autin, Texas where some guy had brought in his scale model and scale models of planes.

It would be useful for this person to publish pictures of his models, maybe someone could contact Gary and find out who this person is and whether he would publish photographs of his models & design/build details.

However debunkers would say that scale models don't represent the real world.

I'm not sure if that helps.
