Re: Electron microscope analysis of steel spheres from WTC site
[ QUOTE ]
What about all the other inferiorly built skyscrapers that burnt for much longer with hotter fires but did not fall? [/ QUOTE ] What about all the other girls prettier than you that blew me? Why aren't you the same? (Not you you Jono, an imaginary babe.) Why would you assume the situations are comparable? That takes intensive scrutiny and testing of the wreckage. The other fires were not caused by explosive collision with an airborne freight train. Here's why that is important, not just glib rhetoric: Reports from the wreckage are that the fireproof insulation coating the load bearing members was blown off (surprise, surprise). So the beams were much more exposed than in other fires. (And about six months ago, there was a freeway that fell down after a gas tanker went up under it.) So Jono, what do you make of three things that have been raised to you: 1. Failure can occur well before melting point. 2. The fuel was burned off anyway in ten minutes, so hotter, paper and furniture fire kept going. 3. The fireproofing was blown off, exposing steal. Finally, please tell us you will think about and engage THESE THREE points, before flitting off to a new argument like the stupid people do. |
