Scary way to go, rite?

>A member of the US Navy's elite skydiving team has died in front of thousands of spectators on Sunday after his parachute malfunctioned during an exhibition jump at Fleet Week festival in New York Harbor.
>Four SEALs from the US Navy Parachute Team, the Leap Frogs, dropped out of a helicopter as part of the stunt, but one of the parachutes failed to open.

I asked the Navy what they were using for their parachutes. "Nylon, sir." Ah, not using silk anymore. Hows that working? "Not well, sir. Not well. We have SEALs jumping and their chutes aren't opening." I asked what system they were rigging. "The nylon" they said. No, no you're not. You're going with goddamned silk! The nylon is too expensive and doesn't work!

Towed Jumper. Most aircraft have a system retrieval to tow him back into the plane. The Thais either didn't have that on the bird or it broke.
>mfw I was almost a towed jumper because a dumbass officer dropped his static line and it wrapped around my arm when I jumped out

Hurt like a son of a bitch but I managed to throw my arm back as soon as it caught around my elbow. Smashed the side of the plane and then landed safely. Scariest jump ever. Fuck officers and fuck jumping a saw
>>
>>34105647
The obverse arguement is that they softened under heat enough to fail and then said failure physically stressed the remaining superstructure beyond tolerances leading to total collapse.... straight into the building's basement.
>>
>>34103109
QFFT! Fucking neolibs and neocons have completed their melding and have revealed themselves to just be the neostatistcucks of all time.
>>
>>34105675
Brief summary of what happened:
>Plane impacts
>Immediately destroys exterior columns, damages inner core where staircases and elevators are, impact knocks fire proofing foam off beams and trusses
>Jet fuel is dispersed and explodes like a FAB, most ignites outside building
>Jet fuel quickly burns away but it has already started other fires
>All the furnishings, paper, electronics, and other stuff inside roughly six floors is ignited
>Fire has a steady fuel source and air flow and becomes hot
>Unprotected steel only needs to reach around 1000F (A common house fire these days can get up into the 2000s F jsut to give you an idea how little 1000F is) before it starts to expand and weaken
>Trussed floors begin to sag from heat and bolt connections between the exterior walls and inner core start to fail
>One floor falls onto the one below
>Design not built to handle a dynamic load so the floor below is overwhelmed by the sudden weight and fails as well
>And so on
>Continue this downward into the lobby and basement
>>
>>34105675
The real reason is that there's a difference in burn temp between a puddle of jet fuel, and a honeycomb of jet fuel soaked office supplies and carpet in a 104 story chimney.

For fuck sake I can melt steel in a bloomery with charcoal, you get enough air flow and enough draft and of course you can get jet fuel to burn hot enough to melt steel.

Also you can't forget the chemtrail tanks, who knows how hot that stuff burns?

>Also you can't forget the chemtrail tanks, who knows how hot that stuff burns?

>>34102713
Why don't they make a system where both your standard and backup parachutes always activate at the same time; essentially no backup chute but you have two always opening in tandem?

Each one would be smaller than a regular one so they don't interfere with each other. As a result they aren't 100% safe landings by themselves but since both attempt to open at the same time you don't have to spend time processing a malfunction and then decide to open the other. More likely that at least one goes out and provides a rough landing rather than none working in time.

>>34105723
>One floor falls onto the one below
>Design not built to handle a dynamic load so the floor below is overwhelmed by the sudden weight and fails as well
>And so on
>Continue this downward into the lobby and basement
allow me to continue this line of perfectly sound reasoning
>asymmetries in floor failure are introduced by the haphazard alignment of the collision, introduction of damage, dispersal of fuel, and arrangement of office furniture and supplies
>the impacted floors will thus fail in an unpredictable fashion
>asymmetries introduced in total collapse of the floor will compound into further asymmetries in the downward collapse
>the tower should, by all logical ration, collapse on one side faster than the others
>however, the towers collapsed near vertical, as the tin foil groups have endlessly expounded upon and investigated
>therefore the official narrative appears to be wildly incorrect when compared to what really happened
>a controlled well-prepared demolition by powers that be

>>34105777
That's my own conclusion a someone who has studied fire and buildings, and the WTC in particular.
It was 1960s lightweight construction. Just because it was the biggest building in the world at the time did not change that fact.

>>34105790
They did collapse to an angle and they had different failure points.
"Truthers" like to ignore that and just say they fell down perfectly symmetrical.

>>34105836
>>34105826
this as well, wtc5 still kills the premise of a fire-made collapse being cogent
>>
>>34105826
Sauce for what? The construction methods or about the collapse?
The construction of the buildings can be seen in pic related.

The evidence of the collapse is visible in any video that's not zoomed in and is facing the area impacted. The top 40 or so floors of the South Tower fall off and the floors begin to collapse below. That indicates the failure point was in the exterior walls since the top part of the building leaned and fell away before being obscured by the smoke.
On the North Tower it was more vertical and uniform because the floor connections to the center core are what failed. You can see the antenna plunge downward for a few seconds because the hat truss (Taking up the top three floors of the building) was intact.

for one some common seamen don't know how to fucking parachute. pretty much all of the military's military freefall schools are at capacity training SOF guys.

and nobody lets them do that kind of dog and pony bullshit, they'd much rather stay in and drink, or throw 9-bangers into the team room, or lift weights. fleet week parachuting is because orders

It doesn't take millions of dollars to train someone in buds. The cost is measured in time, not just dollars.

Your more likey to get run over by a Somalian driving an uber car vs dying in a skydiving acident.
If anything this has inspired me to enlist into challenge program for buds.

>>34111575
>why can't you
Because you keep claiming everything is fake news, without stating what isn't, which makes me believe you're just some jewish fuck running a divide and conquer scheme on people to take them to pre-approved "alt-jew" resources to fill up the (((alt-right))) with more people, giving the moderates the illusion that either side of the divide and conquer is worth joining and not just a jewish scheme meant to distract from real issues like government corruption and overbearing federal power.

Buds is actually the "school" for seals. Where they go threw hellweek and have fun on the beach and go for nice swims. Selection is done in regular boot camp where you have to be able to pass the physical entrance test.

Parachutes already drop you at the maximum safe speed to get you to the ground as fast as possible. Landing on a single smaller one would end up as an almost certain maiming.
