What burns hotter,

[Midnight Marauder]

um, the last time pure O2 was used in a "cabin" was when the 3 Apollo astronauts died

This is why I said NEARLY pure. That's not accurate however, but it is quite a bit richer than what is generally in the atmosphere. In the tanks however it is pure. The oxygen feeds the fire in a crash much like it does a acetylene torch.

Edit to add: The masks that drop down at impact are spewing pure oxygen as well, when the feed tubing in the fuselage ruptures it can be quite nasty mixed with burning fuel.

ah, i forgot about those tanks

nevermind

I have no idea how much pure oxygen a jumbo jet carries, but I bet it's alot and is pressurized. Perfect for having one hell of a hot fire, far hotter than what jet fuel alone could accomplish in atmosphere alone.

It's these PLUS the oxygen for the pressurized cabin, which is unknown large amount in cubic feet of pressurized, oxygen rich atmosphere. Which, when the cabin busts open from collision, no doubt bursts out into the fire like air from a balloon. No one's survived the catastrophic inferno which results, to tell us about it.

A Jumbo Jet is literally, a really big incendiary device waiting to happen.

coals with bellows or jet fuel?

Really doesnt matter, the point is at what pointy does the metal lose the properties needed to do the job out side the range the strength properties falls off rapidly .
This chart demonstrates these ranges.

I don't believe you can extinguish a burning match in gasoline.

A lit cigarette can usually be extinguished , but not a open flame.

Okay first what do you think that 800 foot chimney that was created in the middle of tha fire would do. You know when the freaking airplane slashed into the core and opened the elevator shafts permanently. You think that might possibly create a draft that would make a fire that would burn just a bit hotter than normal?

Good job J. you are just now beginning to get around to the information I've been providing for nearly five years now.

doesn't matter

coals burn hotter than jet fuel or superthermite


just ask eots
