but if you're so smart, where's your math?

My point was that I'm not smart enough to get the physics behind an air plane full of jet fuel and a pressurized air cabin crashing into building, and that's why I don't like the fact that I could've plugged numbers into a simple physics equation to sum up that type of an event.

also, the conversion was from NEWTONS to pounds force - nothing wrong there.

The newtons are not going down but he said the acceleration is gravity. The force is pointed sideways so you need an acceleration going sideways.

lso also, pressure = force/area
|
the force wouldn't be distributed over the whole wall so the area would be smaller making the pressure much higher.

also also also, don't knock 10th grade physics - classical mechanics is the foundation of all engineering.

Even newtonian mechanics involved calculus, which is definetaly part of a 10th grade physics class.
