$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('armegeddon', 'I')t would definitely explode, but it would not continue forward for that long penetrating 6 rings of reinforced steel and concrete and break a hole in the other side. Impossible by an aluminum airliner having kerosene fuel. Also, if you look at Dukey's pictures, the plane doesn't fit the hole it was allegedly supposed to have went through. The engines themselves would have knocked a huge hole where they entered, but the hole is smaller than width of the outline of the engines.
See you again show clearly that you are not capable to imagine the amount of energy released.
Look at this picture this was done by an object 10 ft in length, 28 inches in diameter, which weighed 8,900 lb. It was not even hitting a thing but releasing 6.3x10^13 joules = 63 TJ of energy.
According to your logic the object should have hit every single building in the picture to destroy it.
Again, can you tell me the amount of energy involved when a 250,000 lb plane travelling at 500 mph hits a reinforced concrete wall? Can you tell me what happens to the energy? According to DU=Q+W energy can not be destroyed.
So how much energy was involved and what happened to this energy?
I am a sarcastic cynic. Some say I'm an asshole. Now that we have that out of the way ...
