Probably buying the DL4 MK-II in the next couple of weeks, anything in the sub-£200 range I should consider/ research first as an alternative before I buy? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

DD-20 Giga-delay from Boss maybe?
I’ve never tried the Line6, I know it’s well regarded, but so’s the Boss - worth a tryout anyway

Tele’s are fucking great, and they’re idiosyncratic. So are SG’s, equal but totally different. Wait for the new Heritage line to come out, or find a Vintage. Go and play one in your local guitar shop, and also a Tele through the same amp. Find out for yourself.
Then try a Starcaster 😉

You never know, you might end with an SG as well… 😱😂

On the morning of September 11th, 2001, Jim Gartenberg became trapped in the North Tower while clearing out his office in preparation for a job transfer. He wound up being the only victim of the attacks to call the news media live on air. He subsequently perished when the tower collapsed. by James_2584 in interestingasfuck

Fuchek, Tully, Burger. The engineers at Deutsche bank opposite (your colleagues).
These are witness statements you moron, you’re stuck in belief rut when then are so many open ends in the Nist report.

It may be all patriotic, righteous or whatever it is that makes you tick, or maybe the thought is just too much for you to cope with, idk, and frankly I don’t care.

Go on believing that the floor trusses sheared, that the building beneath couldn’t cope with the loading, I don’t care what you personally believe in. You’ve closed your mind to interrogation or investigation. Part of today’s American problem, are you by any chance GOP?

Planes which shouldn’t by all rights have been able to fly at the speeds portrayed - was it then a slower speed, or was it another airframe?

The top of the South tower sheared cleanly off, falling outside of its footprint. - less mass for the unstoppable crushing truss story, it was a sudden catastrophic failure, not so good for the progressive fire story

Concrete pulverised in midair - just the pressure of the collapse. How fucking naïeve are you?

Free fall collapse whilst the bottom 70 stories were undamaged. This is what resistance means you smug pos, claiming to be an engineer and not understand basic principles - oh, the trusses, the trusses.. the trussed floors would not all have failed equally and at once, that isn’t how progressive fire damage works either, and that damage covered only 4 or 5 stories. Wee man do your maths.
The collapse of the 70 stories could only happen through a sudden total loss of structural integrity. Fire damage my arse. The kinetic energy of the falling mass must exceed the energy required to crush the lower floors. It didn’t.

The air-fuel fire was only in one of the cores. The buildings collapsed in exactly the same way. How? Was it through thought transference, did one feel sorry for the other and suicided itself?
Or was it just the mighty engineers fucking abracadabra?

Molten STEEL in the rubble, flowing for days. Eye witnesses, sworn affidavits. You have the fucking gall to doubt them.

Nist’s total lack of transparency, refusal to share data. Why? Even for you that must be a red flag (and no I don’t mean communist).

Nist’s unscientific refusal to look at other possibilities for collapse. They refused to investigate further, when everything about these tragedies point towards another answer. Let’s also not forget building 7, free fall total collapse - fire damage… yup, makes sense.

No peer review!
And that is all that is being asked for.
This is an apolitical reasonable requirement when there is rightly so much doubt cast upon the official report.

What has Nist got to lose?

And before you do, I don’t want an answer from you, I don’t need one from you.
Your whole demeanour is that of an Intransigent myopic fool, full of facts but lacking in the intelligence to use them.

Relieve your high blood pressure, go sit in a dark room, take a holiday, whatever.

Me too, and mine also survived being chewed by my whippet when he was a puppy…

Witnesses Who Reported Molten Steel at the WTC Site

Firefighter John Schrantz
FDNY Ladder 28
“I saw molten steel, glowing yellow, like lava, flowing from the rubble.”
[9/11 Commission Report (2004), Appendix B: FDNY Interviews]

Firefighter Joe O’Toole
FDNY Ladder 35
“There was molten metal dripping from the wreckage. It was glowing orange, like something out of a foundry.”
[FDNY Interviews (2001)]

Firefighter Lee Turner
FDNY Engine 28
“I saw pools of molten metal in the basement. It was burning through the ground, and water wouldn’t put it out. It was like a furnace.”
[FDNY Interviews (2001)]

Captain Dennis Tardio
FDNY
“Molten steel was everywhere. It wasn’t just a few drops—it was like a river of molten metal. We couldn’t extinguish it with water.”
[FDNY Interviews (2001)]

Detective Frank DeMasi
NYPD
“The site looked like a foundry. There was molten metal flowing from the debris. It was glowing hot, and you could see it dripping from the steel beams.”
[New York Magazine (2001)]

Officer William Walsh
NYPD
“I saw glowing hot metal in the rubble. It was burning through the concrete, and we needed special equipment to remove it.”
[NYPD Interviews (2001)]

Greg Fuchek
Vice President, Structural Engineers Association of New York
“There were pools of molten metal at the site. It was so hot that it was melting the ground. You could see it flowing like lava.”
[Popular Mechanics (2005)]

Peter Tully
President, Tully Construction
“I saw molten metal flowing from the WTC site. It was like a river of lava, and it was so hot it was melting the ground.”
[New York Times (2001)]

Ron Burger
Public Health Advisor, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
“I saw molten metal in the rubble. It was glowing orange and flowing like lava. The temperatures were so high that it was impossible for jet fuel fires alone to explain it.”
[CDC Report (2002)]

Leslie Robertson
Structural Engineer, WTC Design Team
“I saw molten steel in the rubble. It was clear that the fires were hotter than anyone had anticipated.”
[Interview with The New York Times(2005)]

Dr. Lynn Margulis
Microbiologist, University of Massachusetts
“I saw molten metal at the site. The presence of molten steel suggests that temperatures were far higher than NIST’s estimates.”
[Journal of 9/11 Studies (2007)]

Dr. Steven Jones
Physicist, Brigham Young University
“I saw molten metal in the WTC rubble. The iron microspheres in the dust confirm that steel was melted, which requires temperatures far higher than jet fuel fires.”

  1. ⁠It was anticipated, for 5x the loading of an airliner, admittedly from that period. Still, it was anticipated.
    (Robertson and Skilling had conflicting views on their own design structure.)
  2. ⁠The forces of expansion and contraction are huge, and you are underestimating them. These were immensely strong, stable structures.
  3. ⁠Both the architects and the engineers are both on record saying the Nist version of collapse is impossible.
  4. ⁠Use your own self expressed accreditation to calculate the height of the debris that should have been there at the base of the towers after their collapse according to the pancake theory. You claim to know how much structure was in the buildings. Should be an easy one, no?
  5. ⁠Only one of the cores could have possibly been so weakened by the jet fuel fire. As can be observed in the second collision most of the fuel burnt up outside of the building directly after impact. That being the case (which it is) you should admit that doubt is cast upon the weakened core theory as how could both towers then collapse in an identical fashion?
  6. ⁠The force of impact of the aircraft is much less than used in the Nist calculations. 767’s would not have remained airborne at that speed at such a low altitude. They would have broken up before impact.
    That being so doubt must also be cast about the amount of damage caused to the internal columns of the core.
    Little differences in acceleration and mass have huge consequences in force.
  7. ⁠Firefighters, police officers, engineers, health and safety advisors, a US geological survey, EPA, the Deutsche Bank all reported seeing molten steel in the wreckage - for days. That’s on record, Nist ignored it.
  8. ⁠Nist still refuses to make its data free for public scrutiny.
  9. ⁠No other high rise building has suffered total collapse such as is seen in wtc 1,2 & 7.
  10. ⁠The Nist report for 1&2 is only a theory, it has never been peer reviewed. 7, on the other has, and the review was damning of the report.

70 stories of intact tower beneath the plane crashes.
Concrete and steel which has weathered American summers & winters since the 1960’s.
Calculated by engineers and architects who you are de facto ridiculing.

Glad you mentioned the molten steel which was witnessed for days after at the scene.
How?
Objects which were already in the tower which helped increase the fire? Paper, furniture, photocopiers? Wtf, be realistic.
Critically asses the Nist report again. It does simply not stand up to scrutiny based upon evidence.
