Why didn't the people trapped in the towers during 9/11 just grab a table or a desk, jump out while on top of it and jump off of it before it hits the ground?
Physics doesn't work like that /b/ro
That's not how physics works
>>703984292
>>703984321
Not OP but I always think of that, can someone enlighten me on it.
Imagine your traveling at 100 mph in a car and then you jump out before you hit something. when you jump out of the car you are still going 100 mph and hit the ground at that speed
phyiscs that work not like
>>703984357
I'm guessing the upward force you generate by jumping will be nowhere near as close as the force of you falling towards the ground.
>>703984165
Thanks OP, I didn't know I could lose more faith in humanity than I already have until I saw how fucking retarded you are
>>703984165
Because the impulse from jumping is too weak to cancel out those speeds.
It's possible at lower speeds.
so in general you are providing false security that it would be better to jump with something to lessen the impact but intact you are only increasing your weight therefore increasing your speed to hit the ground at.
>>703984419
So they should have jumped off of three desks?
>>703984165
There were no desks in the towers when the plane hit. That's why I think it was an inside job. Too many people would have survived had there been furniture inside.
>>703984357
world doesnt work like mario bros man
>>703984528
Now we're getting somewhere. Anyone got bill nyes phone number?
>>703984528
Technically.. if you throw down a 'ladder' of tables beforehand and are an extremely skills jumper you could slow the fall significantly.
What's a humans terminal velocity?
I'm not googling it till you answer.
>>703984165
try that off your rooftop.
>>703984419
No.. That is plain retarded... You are saying that by jumping, you are creating an upward motion... There are 2 reasons why that is impossible:
1. In order to jump, you NEED a stable area. It's like trying to off a flag, on a flag pole. It is moving to fast for it to be stable enough to push off.
2. When you push down, to jump, you are actually just pressing down the desk, which if we want to be technical, makes the desk move faster.
>>703984357
Simple explanation: if you and the desk are falling at the same speed, how are you supposed to push down on it and slow yourself down? the desk can't offer you a stable platform from which to slow yourself down from. if you push yourself off the desk you won't even be slowing yourself down, you might make the desk fall a little bit faster but that's it
>>703984680
So get a desk that's heavier than you
We don't live on a world with Bugs Bunny physics. Read a fucking book.
OP is right cuz if u jump off the desc right before it hits the ground it cancels the vertical speed
>>703984165
HWhat?!
Holy fucking shit this is autistic
>>703984760
That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if the desk is 1KG, or 9999999KG, it is still moving too fast to be a stable platform.
In order for it to work, you'd have to jump hard enough to negate you velocity, which being a human would be 195 km/h. That's not factoring in that jumping off a table in free fall would require even more energy to your jump as it's not braced against anything solid like a floor or the ground. So you'd have to negate both yours and the table's terminal velocity.
If I'm wrong or something, someone let me know.
mV_term is more than the impulse generated from jumping even if you could somehow jump off a table falling at 122mph
because they foolishly believe state propoganda that the buildings were safe
>>703984838
Oh and generating enough force to jump upwards at 195 km/h isn't going to fare too well for your fragile innards.
it's way too negligible of a change. but if you were on an elevator and it was only two or three stories up and went into a free fall? try it
>>703984835
It would be impossible to get a desk that heavy out the window dumbass
>>703984838
>you'd have to negate both yours and the table's terminal velocity.
Let's say SuperMan was to do this... According to physics, if he pressed down enough to oppose the desk falling at 195 KM/H, he would still not be able to jump, because the desk is moving to fast be be stable.
>>703984995
you would be floating in the elevator faglord
>>703984998
You are missing the point. The desk's weight doesn't matter, because the platform is moving too fast.
>>703985121
I can assure you that if you threw me and a desk out of a plane, I could hit the ground first. So if i'm faster than the desk, how can it "move too fast"
>>703985121
Stop being an asshole.
>>703985035
Because Physics. He is correct, if the elevator was large enough, when the elevator, and the human reach terminal velocity, the human would free fall.
>>703985025
Yeah I just thought it over a bit more an all you'd really do is push the desk down rather then gain any significant upward motion yourself.
THERE IS NOTHING TO PUSH AGAINST
THE DESK IS NOT STABLE
YOU CANNOT "JUMP" UNLESS THERE IS SOMETHING TO PUSH AGAINST
>>703985229
The speed at which if falls doesn't matter either! The fact that the desk is free falling, already suggests it's moving too fast to be a stable platform. Even if you fell faster than the desk, you would still not be able to jump.
You need to angle the table so that you slide on it before hitting the ground.
You're all asking the wrong questions. Why couldnt they just throw a couch out the window and have a nice safe landing pad?
>>703985361
>something to push against
the ground, duh
>>703985412
NOOOOO!!! This guy is just a troll!
I have looked at all the possible outcomes of the scenario and this is the most likely one
The 9/11 tower (100) is about 100 tall. If you were to jump put you would generate (500) about 500 speed.
Descs has a high surface and will not penetrate air as good as humans do and will only recieve maximun 250 speed on earth.
Humans has a jump speed of 250 speed
250 - 250 = 0 speed
By jumping off the desc right before it hits the ground you get to live another day (24 hours)

Double doubles of comedic gold.
Ive always wondered this. I mean, when I was younger I did something similar where I was in an elevator and the cable snapped.
I watched the lights as I went down and timed it right before the bottom. I jumped like two seconds before.
Still alive today.

Another comedic post. Some of you guys are killing me with your funny responses.
>>703985608
That's a lie... First off, if an elevator snaps. Unless you are in a poor area like africa, or cuba, the elevator has a lock. So if a cord snapped, the worst thing that would happen, is you would have to wait for the fire department, in a small dark room.
>>703984373
what if jump from the car on a table and you jump before hitting sth
>>703985675
NO! IT DOESN'T MATTER! You could weigh 80lbs, or 1756175615718lbs, and you could still not be able to jump! GOD FUCKING DAMNIT!
>>703984483
weight has no influence on the speed of the fall
go to school or kill yourself
Hey op I think somebody laced your weed with some autistic nigger cum. You gotta cancel that out and get your brain back on track by watching poultrygeist.
>>703984998
Hooooo. My sides are like the twin towers and some of these comments are the planes.
That guy who keeps saying the table isnt stable is a fucking idiot, or is bait.
If you're crouched on a table in free fall and extend your legs, yes the table would be pushed down but you would also be pushed up. Jumping would slow you down, but by a negligible amount and you'd still die to death.
>>703985838
I once went parasailing, and while up there I could jump and bounce just fine -.- just face it, it's possible
>>703984165
It would have been better to grab the curtains and make a parachute. Gliding to the bottom, but I guess they weren't thinking clearly to do so.
But what if a large crane is holding up a mattress on bungee cables, in free fall you jump from said desk to mattress, and as your getting lower to the ground jump off while mattress goes back flying?
>>703985763
Also if it was "falling" it would most likely be going up rather than down. Also at the bottom of elevators are usually springs iirc.
I've always wondered why people didn't just stand ontop of the towers, yeah sure it's gonna hurt when the tower stops from free fall ,but surely you stand a better chance?
>>703984165
>>703984536
Jets fuel can't melt wooden desks.
>>703985994
No! I am the guy who keeps saying the table isn't stable! If you crouch before jumping out the window, and then push, the couch would only go down, because there isn't anything to push back, because the couch is already going the same direction.

I've literally seen no desks at ground zero. Shits spooky
>>703986124
OH GOD. It just keeps getting better and better.
>>703986298
That's because the whole building got hit BY A GOD DAMN PLANE!
>>703984165
simple you cant jump up faster that terminal velocity , so you cant negate the downward momentum .
>>703986393
What is going on? Is this thread a comedy skit? Is this comedy land?
You are still traveling the same speed, you will still impact the ground at said speed. it would be like being trapped in a free falling elevator, you cannot just jump right before it hits the ground because you are still traveling the same speed.your fucking dead or very badly hurt lol
>>703984165
your jump would have to be powerful enough to negate the terminal velocity you're travelling in. It's impossible to jump that hard.
However, if you jumped out the window on a mini trampoline you should bounce into the air again as you hit the ground, to fall a second time, not at terminal velocity. You will break bones most likely, but survival is more likely.
I'd invest in a mini trampoline if i worked in a tall office building or skyscraper.

But what if his fart provided him with enough upward thrust? Would lighting the fart with a lighter provide more thrust than a regular fart?

It's the exact same science.

Wouldn't it be better to hold in his fart, if he had that much gas, he could just float away.
>>703984165
OP; kill yourself!
Of you had at least half a brain you spud know that the desks were bolted to the floor and the tables were too heavy.
You are such a mong
>>703986781
In this video, you are the car, and the belt is the couch. It is the exact same science.
Why didn't the people on the plane buckle their seatbelts? They probably would have survived had they done so.
>>703986940
No seat belts on planes, they're kinda like buses
>>703984165
No way that would work OP. The only thing that might have worked for them would have been a pogo stick and a helmet. But there were probably none of them around in the towers because nobody could have imagined a plane would hit and they'd have to jump.
>>703986572
Oh god, he said a mini trampoline. I'm rolling over here. Oh, I'm asphyxiating like the victims inside the building were. I can't breath.

He has the Trips. What he says is true!
mathfag here, human terminal velocity is about ~27m/s, jumping at the perfect time will save you 3m/s.
you'll still die
Try it on skateboard when u are in the air try to jump off from it.and u will u getting no where. right..
i'm baffled people just jumped from the towers face first. It's natural selection. A real human would at least try to survive, making a makeshift glider out of office supplies and curtains. Humans should face dangers like these more often to weed out the weak in their race.
>>703987014
A POGO STICK! Imagine if they would have caught film of a a guy out with a fucking, pogo stick. Oh man, best thread, man best thread.
>>703986799
Seriously though would lighting your fart provide more power or is the force of the air getting pushed from your ass the only push you get from a fart? Let's pretend he's in space where the small amount of thrust would make a difference.

Imagine if you were a jumper from the first tower, had the balls, stepped up and actually built a glider and sucessfully rode it to freedom.
Only to crash land on tower seven with your legs broke.
What if they jumped with a really large desk?

>>703987752

>>703987967
>>703987752
I mean theoretically it would work with a sufficiently large desk
obviously a desk as big as the building you'd be completely fine but impractical, but a school desk would probably be too small. so we just have to find the sweet spot between them

Terminal velocity is terminal velocity
stupid fucking goys
Also, are we already ruling out the possibility that there actually werent anybody in the towers and they were all sent to the same place that the people on the Malaysian airplane eventually went to? And all the firefighters and cops died for nothing only to add to the 'tragedy'
>>703988457

>>703984165
If I was there I would have made a rudimentary glider out of office blinds and glided to safety
>>703988860
I have been waiting so long to use this image. Finally, it's relevant.
I see where the confusion is here.
Let's say that you are crouched down on a surface, we can keep it a desk if you wish, and then jump out of the building. As you near the ground, you extend your legs, pushing the desk away from you.
OP/bait master believes, or wonders, if this means you would be "jumping up," and then gravity will take hold of you and bring you down from a much lesser height.
This cannot happen. If it did happen, you would still die. In order for your direction to reverse you would have to momentarily, at the moment your legs first extend, come to a COMPLETE STOP and then go in the other direction. If this were possible, you would be impacting the table at your falling velocity the moment you pushed. You would splat on the surface of the table as it fell, then your goo would go up in the air a moment before joining the table's splinters on the ground.
However, this is not what happens.
Let's saying you're falling at X velocity, where X is enough to murder you dead. You push against the table with a leg extension as you near the ground. There IS an energy transfer, equal to your leg strength. It transfers some speed to the table, while reducing your velocity; it's negligible, and not enough to make a noticeable difference let alone a life saving one. The velocity transfer is L.
You and the table falling together = X
The table after you push off = X + L = Y
You after pushing off from the table = X - L = Z
Y and Z are both still aimed downward. They're both still falling. They both also only last for a moment. Let's say you push off 20 meters away from the ground. Before the table hits the ground, it starts moving slower, back to X because your initial velocity transfer made it go faster than its terminal and the world seeks to correct that. Your reduced speed will also return to X before you hit the ground, because gravity is still a thing and in 20 meters it will accelerate you back to the speed you were going before.
>>703984625

>>703984165

>>703988667
>>703984680
the desk also pushes you up a little bit.
>>703988897
What did they do? Fill the building with body parts? So what? Theyd just fall down and... and... Holy fucking shit
>>703989162
Cont. cause I ran out of space..
End result? The table hits the ground sooner than it would have, you hit the ground later than you would have, but you both still hit the ground with the same force as if you just held on. All your experiment would do is adjust time in an insignificant way that still results in your death.
>>703989028
Oh ok chief
>>703989162
But what if you get a bigger desk?
>>703989253
Unless u surfed down the rubble like a big wave on the table
>>703984373
What if you jump in the opposite direction the car is going, could that slow you down enough to hit your feet on the ground at a comfortable speed?
>>703989400
Why don't you try it and record it for us?
>>703989080
And if the fire extinguishers don't work the last resort is to drop your pants, stretch out your ballsack like a bat wing and flap away to safety.
They lacked the ninjility.
>>703989332
The desk doesn't matter. The only energy transference comes from the strength in your legs.
If you got stronger legs / rocket boots, that would cause a bigger reduction. However, you have to take into account that the speed you slow down with has to be gradual. If it's too sudden / straight up, that will injure your brain at best, or make you go splat against whatever you were in downward contact in at worse.
That's why when you first release a parachute, you continue to fall down after it opens, that fall slows, and then it's carried upwards. Also why you can't pull your parachute too close to the ground; you'll hit the ground, then your corpse will get lifted up and drift a few meters away.
>>703984165
You need rockets on your desk.
That said... if there was unignited jet fuel on the plane wreck one could totally siphon it and loot parts to make a pressurised tank with outlet then strap up and BOOM across Manhatten to the safety of the nearest water
>>703989395
If you're surfing down, you never jumped. ;)
>>703989500
Thats a different comedy than the rest of this....don't take it too hard but you're horrid at jokes and would make a bad comedian...
You ruined the comedy spree
This is a very very good question OP. I applaud your type of forward thinking, fore I too am a forward thinker. I believe that this is 100% possible. After all, it's not like anyone's ever tried it. Who can definitively say that this absolutely would not work? The idea has probably been seen as so farfetched that an experiment hasn't even been thought of, let alone tried! OP I'm with you on this. We're on the same wavelength bro.
>>703986178
Pretty sure it can, idiot. kys
>>703989795

What if I had two machine guns and while dropping to my death on the table I fired at the ground ?
Thus surely would result in slowing my fall..........

But what about the 2 table theory or the much bigger table scenario? I mean double the size of the table, double the chances of this working. Right?
Why didn't they just ask god to help?

Holy shit, not like this

Well yes, the whole air defense and every paratrooper is using a curtain, clipped with paper clips.

>>703990423
He did help , he gave them a floor to land on.........
>>703990399
Or same with the 2 table theory....2 tables is double what 1 table is, so this too would double the odds in your favor... Right???? Shit!
>>703990399
that sounds like pure idiocy.
whether you have 1 table or 10 HUGE tables
the key is, the person has to be able to jump as high as the height they're falling from
>>703990486
Rubber bands would work as a bungee if you had enough of them, and there would be endless supplies in the wtc.
>>703990486
Bungee gum is already in use
>Some will get this
>>703990519
>>703990565
Ok....what about ripping off all the legs from every table on that floor, combining all of them, and making a massively tall table? What then......
>>703990565
So you're saying that in fact they would need 11 big tables ?
And 29 fire extinguishers and 13 machine guns?????
>>703990669
if they had a big table
and 29 fire extinguishers pointed at the ground that could all fire at once...then maybe
>>703990669
THAT'S WHAT I'M WONDERING TOO BRO
>>703990740
We need to test this.
>>703990230
At first I thought you were so wrong and ignorant, but then I saw the twist at the end. Good point.
Though, I still don't think there would be an immediate instance of not falling. The person would still either splat from the feet up like a clay man in a reverse Hydraulic Press Channel video (press going up), or they'd give themselves a concussion so bad that they're brain dead if nothing else.
First they have to fall slower, then not be falling, then be going up, then falling again. You can actually skip the going up and the not falling part as long as the falling slower is close enough to a safe speed; e.g. so that falling again + impacting is safe.
You're right though. Insane strength required to make it a viable option. Anyone this super human could probably just stick the landing and doesn't have to worry about jumping to begin with.
>>703990783
Can we start a gofundme to finance the testing you think? I mean think about all the lives we could potentially save and the massive strides we'd make in the physics field. We. Need. To. Run. Some. Tests.
>>703990808
You don't understand a whole lot about tables, do you anon?
>>703990808
So what you're saying is we need these?
>>703990902
Good idea dude. We need to do this for science .....
Legs wouldn't be strong enough at that height.
I know it works though because I tested it.

i always thought this too. if you are in an elevator and it breaks and falls to the bottom you just need to jump before it hits and you will negate the force.
>>703984680
>what is newton's 3st law
>>703990808
What if we used this table????????
>>703990949
I do. There are also few tables out there that could take this hypothetical force against them. They'd crack at the moment of leg extension where each foot is; or deform if they were metal. Either way, no bueno.
Mm, bait.
>>703990954
..kinda, actually, if sufficiently powerful enough. But if you had that sort of prep I think a parachute would be a better option.
>>703991145
Holy shit.... Anon you may have done it..
>>703984536
This
So if they couldnt jump because of the speed, why they dont jump from window to window till they land safe?
Or making some friction with the same building (You know like megaman grinding the wall) it could decrease the speed... So they could jump from the table and land safe.
>>703991145
Maybe if you had two. And a belly in the middle, with some engines underneath them.
>>703991263
This actually makes more sense as far as the physics end of it goes. Nothing wrong with this at all. It's just a matter of having something to keep you against the wall, or making sure there was something to grab onto you. You could do a thousand short falls, catching yourself each time, like vertically placed monkey bars and be fine as long as you didn't miss / tear your shoulder.
The sheer side of the building probably wasn't that convenient though. If you had a rope that could reach your floor to the ground you could slide down it (burn the fuck out of your hands) or rappel down, yeah of course.
>>703984165
Even if you could do that, a human instantaneously reversing their direction would kill them considering the amount of Gs they'd experience.
For actual survival, the desks would need to serve as makeshift surfboards and would need to be grinded on the side of the building to slow the fall.
Firemen should have caught them.
>>703991466
Okay and the butt cushions from the chairs?
It is possible however you will still fucking die.
find an heavy object with the same terminal velocity ( 53m/s ) and jump off as late as possible ( else you'll reach terminal velocity again.)
in best case scenario you can save 3m/s if you jump as late as possible.
now your hitting the floor at 180km/h instead of 192km/h
>>703991558
Butt cushions are known to contain methane that gets trapped in them from people farting. They'd burst into flames as soon as the plane hit, even if the fire was on the other side of the building. By the time people would be considering their escape, there would be no butt cushions.
>>703991874
Amazing.
>>703984466
This fucking idiot has never heard of b8 has he?
>>703987174
kys
>>703987192
Not if your skateboard weighs more than you
>>703984165
You would have to jump really really REALLY fucking hard for that to work
>>703989413
>>703987962
>backblast propels you down even faster
>>703984165
Try doing it off your rooftop, film the results, and come share them here
>>703986178
No, it can.
That's why they couldn't use desks to jump out. The jet fuel acts as a sort of EMP for desks.
Have you ever seen a desk on a plane?
>>703984165
Well they still would've died, but at least it would've looked cooler right?
>>703984292
>>703984357
I thought physics go out the window when we talk about 9/11... Everything that happened was "impossibro"
>>703984165
Only super Mario in Super Mario Maker WiiU can do that double jump
I made an explanation picture for your shitposting bait
>>703993938
Jump 20 times before you hit the ground, easy
>>703993915
Don't forget Mario sunshine the fludd propelled him just enough from falling proving that the fire extinguisher theory is plausible.
When 4chan is actually smart...
I would have made a jet pack out of fire extinguishers and floated to safety.
>>703994272
Yeah and it could make you fly nigger
You know what makes you fly now? A fucking rocket spewing out fiery gas
>>703994378
Now there's a thought
>>703994441
So you're more on board with the lighted fart propellant theory? Lighting a lighter at terminal velocity is a risky maneuver indeed.
Someone did some math about extinguishers and so basically you have about 4000 newtons of force falling at terminal velocity and a fire extinguisher can produce about 200 newtons (pretty sure this was done for in space Btw) and you would need around 20, especially because I was too lazy to actually take the time to factor in the weight of extinguishers and the fact that gases aren't ideal and not being in space makes the force of am extinguisher way less useful so you would never be able to do this considering most floors would have 1 or 2 extinguishers and traversing to probably at least 15 floors would be impossible so fuck off about extinguishers
>>703994827
But not impossible
>>703994637
No because that's retarded
Fuel out of a rocket works because it is a liquid and gets ignited and converted into a gas extremely fast, the pressure of which makes it launch out of the ass end very fast. Farts are always gas. Also your ass doesn't actually act like a rocket because the gas you ignite is already in the surrounding atmosphere its just conenctrated
>>703994915
It basically is impossible because if you had to carry upwards of thirty fire extinguishers and somehow use them all at the same time you would drop them if not for the massive weight but the unwieldiness of that many god damn extinguishers
>>703994945
You underestimate my fart power
>>703995022
No you retard
You just don't understand the difference between an asshole and a rocket
>>703984536
I actually am a 9/11 survivor. I used a desk and jumped off at the last second.
I actually have a timestamp to prove im me
>>703995014
not if you had enough paper clips to harness them all together, and there would be endless supplies in the wtc
>>703985608
Lol you really think people believe you?
>>703995103
Yes, I do
Main difference is: you wouldnt fuck a rocket
Faggot
Why didn't they just do a summer salt right before they hit the ground? Assassin from Assassin's creed does it.
Obviously u fucks were way to young to actually have been watching people jump from the tower that morning. It was ghastly. Fuck all of you.
>>703984165
Why didn't they double jump before landing?
>>703995330
Unfortunately, there are little to no piles of hay in Manhatten
thanks op, u made my day
>>703995496
Ghastly did 9/11 confirmed
If the office had, say, curtains, could you have made a makeshift parachute by holding 2 corners in each hand?
>>703995112
Arizona fag?
>>703994032
Jump off of what anon?
>>703986019
Assume the average person weighs 75kg.
A computer desk - one of the right shape might work... so lets assume 50kg , made of sheet steel... bit heavy id say but, itll do,
The terminal velocity of an average person is ~53m/s
A desk might have a terminal velocity of perhaps.... 60m/s
In order to jump off the desk you'd need to be falling at the same speed as it.
a man with a 14 inch vertical jumps upward at ~9m/s
Because the desk has less mass then you, it is propelled downwards a little faster, we can say 6m/s, and you are moving 6m/s slower before you hit the ground.
60-6=54
You hit the ground at 54 meters per second. It was a Valiant effort, but all you managed to do was increase the spray of viscera by falling while holding onto that desk.
Its impossible to survive...
>>703996034
>mfw I realized that the episode in which Ghastly starred is actually called "The Tower of Terror"
>>703984165
The energy required to go -y, is too much for a normal human.
>>703995113
You don't have enough time to macgyver up a table of extinguishers before the Bush's bomb goes off and levels the entire building.
>>703985504
Seriously.... wut?
>>703996286
Also, it can be done, by adding some small equipment and a lot of money
>>703986124
Remember to make a hole in the center of those sheets anon.
why dont they just put parachutes at the upper levels of skyscrapers
>>703993859
>Out the window
kek
>>703996296
that's why you gotta be prepared man
>>703996532
Give some ideas on HOW can that happen.
Storage, cost, checking.
Best thread in weeks
>>703996679
well, make it like insurance.
People could buy their own if they feel they want the security of having one in case of an emergency.
>>703996729
You 15? Change your ways (of thinking)
>>703996532
I think that would only encourage jumps
>>703996729
>Have to go to a meeting about stocks, can't cause no insurance. Yeah
What I don't get is, being an office, there should have been endless amounts of paper. Why not staple enough sheets of paper together to make a parachute then jump out?
>>703996955
I guess that would need weeks to work
If these people falling from the buildings only flapped their arms, they would have realized they could fly.
>>703984165
Or they could have taken a cow in to work with them, then waited for the crane to arrive.
who was the fucking faggot who kept repeating that the desk is unstable
>>703989625
Oh ok
How about if you get a WIDER desk
Why does my post number end in 911?
>>703985838
If you weigh 1756175615718 lbs you have bigger problems than not being able to jump
>>703984483
mass does NOT change the speed of the fall
regardless of your mass, you accelerate at 9.8 meters-per-second-per-second (minus any reductions from wind resistance) until you hit terminal velocity (or the ground)
for humans, terminal velocity is 53 m/s for a human in a "spread-eagle" skydiving-position. A human in good athletic condition can jump with initial velocity of about 3 meters per second. So if you were falling with a desk, in spread-eagle position, and you jumped off of it right before you hit the ground, you'd still be going 50 meters per second - not a happy ending.
Why didn't they think to use a Fire extinguisher like a rocket 03984165
Why
What if you had a desk with pogo stick legs?
enough
respect those who died
what if you had a biggest benis in the world and you slid down out of the house on your benis :D
>>703997583
I respect the survivors more
SOMEONE SCREEN CAP THIS PLS.
Why not just have Moon Shoes on the upper floors?
>>703997621
and what about those who were not able to fight for their survival due to their conditions, are they disrespected?
>>703984608
except that the tables would likely all be falling at the terminal velocity (call it v_t) of that particular model of table and your maximum upward jumping speed is finite (call it v_j) so the best you'd be able to do is limit your downward speed to v_t - v_j
>>703997681
Natural selection
Epic b8 has become epidemic thread.
This is 8/8 bait top work OP
>>703997801
lol you don't even know what that means
but its natural that you would say such things with only eleven years of life under your belt, most of them behind a small monitor in a depressingly dark room in your parents house
screen capture this shit so i can hang it in my sad little room of porn
>>703998024
You ok buddy? Havin' a bad day?
>>703997877
Cannot believe it has gone so far
Looks like trolls "took" the bait while some others literally took it. Idiots everywhere
>>703997406
Jumping off with 3m/s applies to solid ground. You rather accelerate the table and still crush with 52m/s while the table crushes with 54m/s.
>>703998024
Weird that 11 years old and parents house were in the same string of insults.
>>703997496
"hi NASA, get the people with the suits on the line. I think we got one"
Too bad the WTC apparently had no old couches. Just jump out on top of a cushion. What I did at my grandmas as a kid. Geez all those people were stupid.
>>703996128
This heat is hot, but nothing compares to the heat of those burning buildings that day
>>703996138
The table dumbass, if that's the equation you lose 5% of gravity's force each time you jump then just jump off of it twenty times and you'd be safe and back in time to hangout with the bros.
>>703985025
Superman can fly though
>>703985025
Superman isn't real faggot
>>703984680
Yes you do break your momentum a little, the fuq are you talking about?
>>703985504
i understand now
>>703984165
Because, the jews
another theory: why dont just use a big plastic bag to glide down
Tying to jump off a desk or some such will never work. My plan would instead be to gain upper body stregnth. Such that I can easily lift more than my weight while sitting (the more the better). Then jump out with a chair and because I am able to lift more than my weight, just position the chair under me while falling and lift the chair, and land softly, or maybe even fly.

Just use a desk
