Regardless of how it happened, (the plane hijackings Orchestrated by “ex” CIA operative Osama Bin Laden duh) 9-11 was used as an excuse to dissolve civil liberties at home and wage war abroad.
A common misunderstanding. Boats (made of rock) float due to gravity pushing the water up (as it bounces off the earth). Boats made of feathers (ducks) harness the same principle, as they are also filled with water.
Well… When you put one of those huge tankers in the water, it will move a LOT of water out of the way.
As long as the tanker weights less than the weight of all that water it displaced, it will float.
As you keep loading up the tanker with more cargo, it will go deeper into the water right? But this means that it is pushing more water out of the way (the water that used to be where the boat now is), which balances out the weight because that creates more buoyancy.
A rock, on the other hand, is heavier than the water that it displaces, so it sinks like a tanker whose front fell off.
Metal is heavier than water. Virtually every containber is fille to the brim with products, now I don’t know you but most everything we buy is heavier than water.
It’s clear they have some kind of extra propulsion in those, most likely magnetic anti gravitation.
The tanker weights exactly as much as the weight of the water that it displaces. They are in balance. You describe it yourself. The tanker sinks deeper if it becomes heavier and swims more up as it becomes lighter.
The measure of “boat swims” is not the weight of the displaced water. It is wether there is some boat wall left sticking out of the water to keep more water from entering and displacing the air that keeps the submerged volume in weight balance with the water.

No, ocean water can’t sink steel boats
But it melt steel beams?

It’s a well known fact that steel weighs the same as feathers

The bane of shipping is that a lot of money goes to shipping air around :)
Since we are pedantic, what you say isn’t true.
The tanker weights exactly as much as the weight of the water that it displaces. They are in balance. You describe it yourself. The tanker sinks deeper if it becomes heavier and swims more up as it becomes lighter.

So we have rising sea levels because there’s so many big ships in the ocean, got it.
Xkcd did this one.

But steel is heavier than water
If you take 1kg of steel and 1kg of water, which is heavier? That’s right, steel is heavier.
A steelogram of kilo is feather than heaviers
