The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -

Of course freefall is a first order expression, things aren't exactly that predictable. The main point is that freefall (if indeed that is the speed obtained) doesn't point to a conspiracy, it's just what's you'd expect to happen in the absence other forces.Comment

It just seems highly unlikely, that's all.Comment

Originally posted by realityhack View PostEasy to answer - because controlled demolition is designed to bring the building down by removing these forces mentioned above, in an even, orderly manner. Charges are rigged from the basement to the roof, evenly throughout the building, shaped to make the building fall into it's own basement, and happen at near-freefall because of the detonating sequence.
You don't need to make up a complicated conspiracy theory, gravity is a downward force and falling down at near free-fall velocity not unlikely in the absence of other forces. If the buildings fell at near free-fall speeds it points to the fact that resistive forces were minimal, which in turn isn't unexpected in a building that is collapsing.Comment
