As an engineer by trade, I understand perfectly.
Jet fuel burns at around 500-600F.
You're shooting yourself in the foot if you believe the plane impacts and subsequent fuel can account for 5,000 degree fires days later. I watched the impacts and the fireball that ensued. What do you think that the fire we saw on impact was made of?
And no matter how much "air" there was on the floors, the EPA and engineers gave the figures in the report on the "vaporized" materials. It is they that claim steel particle, marble, etc...turned to dust or "vaporized". Am I now to believe they were completely incorrect on that you are spot on?
Especially after you tell me "jet fuel burns really hot. Hot enough to melt rock, steel, etc..."
As a welder and former Navy Fire-fighter I know that aviation metals burn quite a bit hotter then that. Hot enough to burn through metal and concrete floors.
Nothing vaporized. Pulverized yes. Vaporized? Not hardly. Maybe some of the jet-fuel vaporized or water. But the structure didn't vaporize. It was pulverized.
This is false. You'll need to go back and educate yourself.
