DO ALL WHAT? ---fire did it The
IMPACT of the planes did not bring the
towers down-----however I do believe that
it is possible that the terrorists thought it
might ---<< I do not know if they were also
"chemistry compromised"
do you know what a tiny little nuclear bomb
can do?
do you know what a single bullet to the brain
can do? ----I saw a case of a 22 ---deep in
they substance of the brain-----on C-T scan the brain looked fine----just a tiny metal object right in the center----the kid was young and
healthy looking ---about 25 years old----tiny
metal pellet in the center of his brain-----he was "brain dead" (by Harvard criteria)----
His parents could not believe that tiny little
metal object could cause so much damage----do you know what caused the damage?---
not the penetration-----THE HEAT!!!!!
I work with steel all the time it's melting point is around 2,750 degrees Fahrenheit
JP 4 jet fuel only get's to 1500 degrees tops
only twoofers that say melting. steel weakens and bends at 570 degrees.
Heat
- In the investigation of the collapse of the World Trade Center towers in 2001, the failure of the structural steel has been attributed in part to the fires ignited by jet fuel that spread throughout several floors. While estimates vary, the jet fuel fires could have created temperatures as high as 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit. Research has shown that steel begins to weaken at approximately 570 degrees Fahrenheit, and that the critical temperature for failure is approximately 1,020 degrees Fahrenheit. This can vary widely with the load on top of that steel. The powerful impact of the airplanes as well as the intensity of the fire contributed to the collapse of the World Trade Center towers.

National Geographic should be seriously ashamed of this farce that they promoted.
The first highly disingenuous bit about this is the fact that the piece of steel isn't connected to anything its simply a single beam that has load stacked on it and heated, however, in the case of the towers, there had been fire in parts of the tower, and no fire in other parts, the parts that had no fire would function as a heat-sink and the steel would conduct off the heat rather than raising the temperature of the single bit.
also there is a study that has been done either by UL or their British counterpart that subjected building steel to fire and did so for longer burn times than the towers experienced and the ONLY effect of this was some deformation of floor trusses but NO danger of collapse for the structure. The other feature of this that is not being properly addressed is the fact that the towers came down in a manner that required all of the physical connections in any given floor-level to fail all at the same time, because if they did not, the mass above the as yet undamaged part of the tower, would have to tip shifting its center of gravity and dumping mass quantities of rubble over one side of the tower and stopping the action before the total destruction of the tower.
funny this is the same twoofer bullshit I hear every time nat geo obliterates the twoofer myth of fire can't bend steel..
one more thing shit for brains your heat sink "theory" is a steaming pile.
I didn't say that fire can not heat up steel to the point that it will bend easily, I'm saying that not only would the fires in the WTC towers have a difficult time at heating up the steel sufficiently to do the job ( note precedent office fires in skyscrapers that have burned for many hours more than the towers and were not a hazard to the structure of the skyscraper ) The fact is that the towers could not have been destroyed as was on 9/11/2001 without the application of some engineering to make it happen the way that it did.
A feature of the BIG LIE, is that prestigious institutions become subverted to the cause of supporting a corrupt dynasty rather than seeking/reporting the TRUTH, the sort of response of "how dare you question Nation Geographic" .... really people, when any institution or for that matter the President may be out-of-line, It is our sacred duty to speak up and push back.
The excuse that I have not provided sufficient foundation for my claims used to justify nobody producing any documentation of the search for explosives or evidence of explosives having been used, is really lame, doesn't anybody desire the bragging rights to have said, "SEE, ... I shut-down the truther geek completely" but you see, I've been on-line for all the years since 9/11/2001 asking lots of questions and in all that time, not once has anybody produced the DOCUMENT. kinda makes a statement .... no?
