Ofcourse it was useless to waste so much money on 94 ISIS militants but thats beside the point. We are discussing who is the bigger mass murder like (cough cough Obama's help in starting the genocide that is going on in Yemen cough cough). Not sure what Trump is trying to do to stop it either though, so I guess he inst any better.

      Sulfur-based thermite charges were detonated from the top-downward after a drone hit the building. The second building was detonated without a drone, but rather with a C4 charge on the side. This was all after 2 trillion dollars went "missing" and millions of dollars worth of gold disappeared from the WTC.

    • @lizzytheowl577
      @lizzytheowl577 Před 7 lety +19

      The thing is, jet feul doesn't have to *melt* steel bars in order to take down a building that size. Melting a steel bar would be completely turning it into a liquid, but you don't need to do that to compromise structural integrity. Heating steel bars to the point that they would bend would *definitely* destroy the structural integrity of a building that size. Jet feul burns hot enough to *soften* steel bars which is quite enough to take down a building.
      With that out of the way: Please don't drag idiotic conspiracies into Mythbusters.

    • @zumis1011
      @zumis1011 Před 7 lety +5

      +lizzy the owl I've heard that argument before, it doesn't hold up, for a number of reasons. First of all the temperature at which steal starts to significantly weaken is hundreds of degrees Fahrenheit hotter than the burning temperature of jet fuel. Secondly, it doesn't explain why all of them would weaken at the exact same time enough to go down in perfect synchronicity, from the point where it would be weakened it would bend, in a certain direction, it didn't it went straight down. Thirdly, and most damning of all, is the fact that the structural beams at all four corners of the building would've stayed intact, it didn't, it collapsed within itself until it hit the ground, there is no logical, reasonable, or even respectable opposition to that, PERIOD, that is if you know what you're talking about. Also, skyscrapers don't collapse when there's a fire, no matter how big, there's no explanation for how the third building, World Trade Center 7, fell as well, the media barely reported it, few people know about it to this day, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't up til now.

    • @lizzytheowl577
      @lizzytheowl577 Před 7 lety +5

      You know that there were massive planes that crashed into them, right? That would weaken any skyscraper considerably because planes crashing into buildings tend to do a ton of structural damage. Combine that with the jet feul and that the structure would now have to support the weight of the airplane lodged into it, which wasn't a variable that the builders would ever consider, and it makes perfect sense that they would collapse like they did.

You would want to kill innocent people just for the sake of starting a nuclear war with North AND South Korea (Research the volume of a nuclear bomb, then Google what Earth looks like, because I'm pretty sure you failed geography if you can't pinpoint where North and South Korea are. Launching a nuclear weapon on North Korea would only destroy South Korea, and thus start a war with those who were allied with South Korea). Isn't it bad enough that North Korea's government is already killing their own people, now you want to join them too? Clearly you haven't heard about what happened with Hiroshima. America still hasn't gained forgiveness over its cruelty and dehumanized practice of nuclear warfare against Hiroshima.

    there are actually earlier translations of descriptions of the battle that mention the ray more like a projectile with a trail, after looking into this multiple people concluded it was most likely some sort of modified type of ballista that was doused in oil, set a blaze and shot into the ships, setting them on fire. because of the speed that the massive flaming arrow like projectile was fired at, it had a trail or "ray" behind it

  • @TheBlackDeck
    @TheBlackDeck Před 8 lety +9

    None of the mirrors were concave. Additionally, if they did have "mirror guards" at arms way back when, they would be trained and extremely proficient at aiming those things at their targets. Add these 2 factors together and you have the solution.
    Please try this again, use Concave mirrors, focused on a fixed location, all aimed using good math. It will make fire. I promise. If you get a group of people practiced at aiming, you could even make it work on moving targets.
    I would love to see you guys make it happen!

    This SHOULD work. It is the same concept of starting a fire with a concave mirror. If one were to create a hole in each mirror with a mirror behind it on a 45deg angle facing up, each person could be sure they were hitting the exact same spot by using that hole as a site.
    Another idea would be to create multiple large concave mirrors (twenty feet in diameter) with a focal point of the fleet location, again with the same aiming mechanism, this could work. Also, o e need only test the temperature of one, ten, and 100 mirrors focused on a single point and chart the rise in temperature to see if it is plausible.

      First: Assuming that people would be so accurate(as you could see in the video, they were shinning all over the sail and ship).
      Second: Because let's grab 500 soldiers, have them drop what they're doing, drop their gear and shine mirrors at the enemy(which, let me remind you, the mirrors they'd have had at the time weren't all that shiny).
      Third: From how far away can you start, and how long is it going to take? Because...you know...the Romans are coming, and they're coming with swords.

      +The Crimson Fucker what do you mean the mirrors back then were not shiny ? Of course they were they were normal mirrors

      GamingwithLogan I said they weren't "all that shiny", meaning they weren't as shiny as modern mirrors.
      Also, no, modern mirrors are clearer - better production methods and such.

    If it were to work, all of the mirrors would have to be at the same pitch. But the people are all holding them at different angles.

    they way you can get it is have it like a circle and have a curve on the inside and centered to your target or something like that

    I think that you need to make a cone shaped mirror because it would create so much heat inside it that it can deflect more heat to the ship but it wouldn't be as much heat inside the cone shaped mirror.

      No, really? I totally believed that they were just wandering around in the white house for no reason, bumped into Obama and had a casual chat - and there just so happened to be a massive camera crew filming everything.

      Kamala LSB When you invite someone for an interview or a podcast, you don’t give them a script, despite having cameras and other equipment. It’s supposed to be a natural conversation between them, but instead they made it scripted, which is weird and unusual. Just because the person they’re talking to is important does not have to mean the conversation is scripted.

    why not use slightly concave mirrors with a hole in the center so the person holding it could more easily see where their light is being focused
