China CITIC building hit by a "plane" doesn't fall down though
Sadly there was a aircraft crash in Beijing into China’s tallest building the CITIC Tower. Immediately kooks online started to compare it to 9/11 and ask why the building did not come crashing down.
They did the sane thing about the Empire State building crash. “911 Temu” was on of the online jokes. Which I admit as a joke is pretty good, but with kooks you cant tell the difference between a joke and sincerity no matter how stupid the joke is.
It is not the same at all.
First, this building wasn't built in the 1970s it was completed 2018
Secondly, this wasn't a cross continental flight or Boeing 757.
It was a shifty tourism 2 seater that barely could break the windows. The Sunward SA60L Aurora is 750lbs 1300 lbs when full.
Just the fuel in a Boeing 767 is 160,000 lbs 100 times more than the entire SA60L A Boeing 767 with fuel is 315,000 lbs Even empty it is 176,600lbs.
On 911 these were nearly full as they were all meant to flay across the country.
So at max for both that is 315,000 vs 1,300. or 242 times heavier, also much larger and much much much more fuel for fire.
The Boeing carries 16,700 gallon the Sunward carries 32.
Plus about 300mph slower Its the difference between a school bus and the Eiffel Tower’s entire metal framework. Drop a base ball on your head from say 4 feet away, not drop a 76lbs dumbell you can make it out of the same material (34kg for those who speak communist). See which one kills you first. Now add an extra 300mph to the dumbell.
Learn math
I am not saying that on 911 only the plane crashes and fire brought down the buildings alone. However fire IS perfectly capable of doing that IF the fire prevention systems fail. On 911 they did fail because they had been sabotaged previous to the attack. Also there is strong evidence of 1993 WTC attack style truck bombs in the parking garages at the basement levels, which guaranteed success.
What actually happened on 911
Do not strawman the other side by making stupid comparisons like this strike on the tower in China or the 1945 crash into the Empire State building a low speed because it was lost in fog. That B-25 Mitchell bomber 19,460lbs vs 315,000lbs and sped up because they hit the building on purpose.
This is like making the weak argument that Charlie Kirk had a magic trampoline neck.
I understand that you don’t think it was a 30_06 but it is a strawman to act like “the official story” is that he had a Wolverine neck. The claim, by everyone other than Christian holy roller Andrew Kolvet, is that the bullet went down his body vertically, not that it stopped because of the back of his neck.
30_06 Bullets do stop in bodies at about if going vertically and at about 15 to 20 inches if it clips a chain necklace which it did. Charlie was 6'5 It would be really stupid to set up a patsy and have him use the wrong type of gun.
Like 911 I have nuance view on Kirk too see here if you have not already. You can notice in this post I wrote about the looming war with Iran.
Did you know we have a leader board?
