Dr. George O. Bizzigotti wrote:
[snip] A major beef that structural engineers have with Jones is his reliance on a single equation for movement due to gravitational acceleration in a vacuum, apparently ignoring tools that the engineers have developed to analyze the complexities of failure in a large structure. Much of Jones' argument boils down to "it fell too fast" without any consideration of "how fast would it be expected to fall?" Exactly. My original critique of that piece took no issue with Dr. Jones' credentials. I've personally made calculations based upon several assumptions. All of them lead to similar conclusions, which is that regardless of the underlying assumptions, you'd never be able to tell the difference between a building that collapsed intentionally from one which collapsed "accidentally". It is only when the good doctors credentials are floated as a criticism of my analysis that I point out that his don't actually match mine, and in fact his analysis suggests some lack of any applicable expertise. |
