THE MYSTERY OF THE WTC COLLAPSE
The more one reads about the WTC collapse, the more skeptical they
should become of the "official" account. The following presentation
is speculation, but well worth thinking about.
WHY?
Because the investigators at the WTC site were hampered to the
maximum, documentation efforts were equally hampered; and the debris
was too quickly - and profitably - disposed of; overseas.
Just for starters, 9-11 represented the first collapse of a
steel-framed building, allegedly from fire. BUT - there were three
such occurrences; not just one. That's asking too much from
'coincidence,' just by virtue of two separate architectural styles;
within a ten-hour period of time. Most spectacularly, no 'official'
questions were asked. WHY?
COVERUP is the unique legacy of ALL of the 9-11 events, as is true
of subsequent events. That leaves the obvious question, "SO, what's
being covered up? The planes hit the buildings, they burned &
collapsed. What's the big deal?"
Originally, that was my question.
"Christine" recently insisted that I buy the book, "Painful Questions."
She was adamant that there was something which she believed that I
would see. She didn't know what, but she was sure that I could
"...pick the sand out of the pepper," as the saying goes. That
"woman's intuition" again.
The book centers on the flaws in the "official" accounts of 9-11.
The color illustrations and the photographs are worth the price of
the book. It took about five minutes to see that something was
something very badly wrong in the "official" account. Nothing new,
when it comes to anything associated with 9-11. I was slow; Christine
was correct - she knew! Don't ask me how; she just knew.
One must first go to the reports and descriptions of the molten
steel at the base of all three buildings, including 7-WTC. Those
reports are too strange to ignore; particularly given the associated
thermal imagery of the post-collapse WTC site. Those reports are
not limited to a single individual, or any "group." The 'pools of
molten steel' descriptions quickly lead the military mindset to
something on the order of massive Thermite charges. Try to imagine
that the mechanical energy of the collapse could "melt and pool"
any steel. Forget it!
Bending steel with horrendous energy is one thing, melting it is
another. For those uninformed, Thermite charges can be either
'passive' (melt-down only) or dynamic, in the form of "shape charges."
Yes, such would be one hell of an undertaking; no argument.
Forty-seven center-core steel columns (or a high percentage) would
have to be rigged. But, just the obvious and well-documented
"official" deceptions of 9-11 were massive undertakings. Thus, the
term 'impossible' is not particularly appropriate, here
Steel will do all kinds of "tricks," but melting requires the basic
melting temperature - or greater. To obtain melting temperature,
one needs the external temperature of approximately 2,700 degrees
(F) with enough time for the metal to convert from a solid to a
liquid.
The process can be accelerated, but only with a much higher temperature
- such as Thermite - approximately 4,000 degrees (F). All the jet
fuel in the world won't burn hot enough to produce molten steel -
under any conditions.
The center-section supporting structure of the buildings broke apart
as it collapsed. An argument for 'mechanical energy transmission'
doesn't hold up. It's not the same as hitting a nail with a
sledge-hammer. A 'shattering' sledge-hammer would not carry the
force to strike, deform and 'heat' a nail.
The south WTC tower is most representative of the collapses. Remember
that it lost it's "cap" - - therefore the energy from the structure
above would - in theory - be adequately diverted so as NOT to induce
a continued - and total - vertical collapse of the remainder of the
structure. In theory, the "cap" should have torn loose and independently
fallen. However, if there had been an independent - and nearly
simultaneous - collapse of the core, the collapse would continue -
vertically. The "cap" tilted by approximately 22 degrees, but did
not fall off; it collapsed - in "formation" - with the rest of the
structure. The simultaneous "fall"
of the two sections tells a story, by itself.
The mechanical tilt of the "cap" should have relieved a major portion
of the purely vertical stress from above; alleviating any tendency
for the immediate lower structure to "pancake;" as was witnessed.
With the outer walls being vertically self-supporting, any interior
dynamics would be hidden from view. Remember that the shattering
of the outer walls followed the collapse of the building core.
By all that's sensible, the individual floor "plates" might have
been able to let go ("peeling" from around the columns and the outer
walls), but - as a minimum - the lower (ground level) segments of
the inner columns should have been left standing, somewhat vertically,
like stray swizzle-sticks. Yet, clearly something major also happened
at the very base of the building.
Given that the lower columns were radically thicker steel, and
obviously stronger, some of the columns should have still been
standing - in some significant number. Yet, from the post-collapse
photographs, the outer walls appeared to be the strongest vertical
sections; which they were not. Yet, the lower outer walls were left
standing; not the more massive "core" columns.
Depending on the size descriptions of the "molten steel," available,
the suggestion goes to the idea that there might have been 'over-kill'
Thermite charges at the very bottom, guaranteeing the total vertical
collapse. Strictly as a guess, one might estimate an eight-foot
section abruptly melted down - or was taken down by Thermite "shape
charges."
In the videos & pictures of the collapsing segments, it is clear
that the lower windows were exploding significantly below the
collapsing section above. That could only be a "plunger" effect,
expelling the air as the core collapsed - independently of the outer
shell. In simple terms, those images represent the differential
between gravity accelerating the core, versus the outer walls,
resisting collapse, with their independent vertical support. As the
core collapsed, the shell segments let go from the lateral forces,
which they were not stressed for.
An interesting effect is seen in many images of the collapse. As
the entirety of the buildings' mass accelerates downward, the effect
of "Bournili's Principle" is illustrated. A low pressure is created,
causing the respective column of dust and smoke to be briefly sucked
inward, above the collapsing structure.
In the overall mechanics of such a collapse, the lowest floor would
only have traveled the distance of the missing "basement" segment.
[For the sake of argument, again, let's call that eight feet.] The
lower floor would have traveled eight feet, then stopped. However,
with that collapse (transmitted the full length of the core - to
the very top of the building) the upper segment would experience
an acceleration effect in the classic 'mass-times-acceleration'
equation. Thus, with the impact and fire damage, at the top, the
weakened and 'segmented' upper portion would be dynamically converted
into a "plunger." Gravity did the rest.
To keep such an operation simple, it's necessary to entertain the
idea also that ONLY the base of the columns were rigged with Thermite
charges. With enough induced force (collapse), the upper "core"
column attachment joints could conceivably shear/shatter in a domino
effect from the downward accelerating mass.
Beyond the mechanics of the collapse, it should be noted that ANY
mechanics which approach this description betray an extensive and
remarkable engineering and operational feat; make no mistake about
it. Such an effort couldn't possibly have come from the caves of
Afghanistan!
It's more than just "interesting" that nobody wants to go near the
"coincidence" of the 7-WTC collapse, not even FEMA, in their WTC
report. The video captures of 7-WTC display every characteristic
of a commercial demolition collapse. Once again, the core of the
building led the collapse of the outer walls.
FEMA's association with the WTC should be instantly regarded in a
jaundiced light - period. That statement is inspired by their
"influenced" report on the Murrah building bombing in Oklahoma City.
The report was based on a blast crater of 28 feet. The photographic
evidence shows an 18-foot crater; clearly far too small to account
for the damage. The seismic data demonstrated two blasts, not one.
The argument of the secondary "reflected" (echo) signal doesn't
hold up, as the magnitude of a "reflected" signal would have been
diminished, which it was not. Two seismic stations show identical
timing between the blasts. A reflected" signal would have shown an
increased time differential; between the close-in station, and the
distant station (20 miles away).
The one unexplained WTC issue is the continuing fire from below the
collapsed debris. That was NOT jet fuel, just by virtue of the smoke
color. Any residual liquid fuel would have been burned or dispersed
- essentially evaporated, on the way down. There would not have
been enough remaining liquid fuel to account for the subterranean
temperatures; jet fuel doesn't "smolder." By all evidence, and
pragmatic thinking, the smoke was smoldering debris and escaping
residual heat. BUT the post-collapse temperatures were radically
too high to be just smoldering "building debris;" even with any
remaining jet fuel being factored. However, the residual heat from
the required Thermite charges would account for the temperatures
recorded.
Again, this presentation is speculation. I don't have "hard"
evidence. Yet, the description above goes to the core issue, that
the "official" account is far too inadequate.
As to "Motivation" -
Documented history leaves no doubt that the Afghan war was pre-planned,
by approximately a year. The money trail instantly answers the "que
bono" question - who benefits? The cover-ups serve to certify the
remaining conclusions. The history leading to the Iraq War leaves
not one, but two invasions as nothing less than international War
Crimes. The Geneva Conventions and the binding effect of the U.N.
Charter leave no doubt.
The Viet Nam War leaves a pre-existing model of the cold-blooded
Texas "corporate" greed. Viet Nam, the Gulf War, Afghanistan and
Iraq - always with the uninterrupted theme of "blood-for-oil." Any
denials are wasted energy; the documentation is far to clear.
Given the billions - if not trillions - in profit potential and the
indicators of history - before and after 9-11 - the above account
should NOT be taken - or dismissed - as mere "Conspiracy Theory."
Yet there is the usual expected question, "WHY should ANYBODY buy
into this rubbish?" Because there is NO "theory" associated with
the non-investigations of the pandered "failures" which lead to
9-11. The "whistle-blowers" who tried to prevent what was to become
9-11 were hammered - and remain hammered. Their expertise is crucial,
regardless of the alleged politics. Those facts alone point to the
terrible truth of an obvious Inside-Job; whatever the relevant
details may be - OR; not be.

Thanks for proving my point nicely, Harry.
Whats the mystery? A big plane flew into each one of the towers, weakening
the structural integrity and the heat from the jet fuel caused them to
collapse.
Does that explain pools of molten steel beneath the WTCs?

Yours got that program off to a fine start.
Hey, would one of you turkeys please take a moment and tell
us more about "Bournili's Principle"?
Actually it was the heat from the contents fire. The jet fuel acted
as a large "molotov cocktail" to ignite the contents. #7 WTC also
collapsed from a contents fire, and it was not hit by an airplane.

You are a very sick man.
Does that explain the pools of molten steel?
Or how ***3*** buildings collapsed in the manner of a controlled

Could it be a variation on Bernoulli's Principle?

I took it as evidence that the guy had absolutely no idea
what he was talking about. There was lots more evidence,
but that was the funniest part.
Tell us you believe that idiotic thermite story explains it. (Just for
laughs.)
Like the pools of molten steel you don't want to talk about?
The speed at which the towers collapsed?
WTC 7's controlled demolition?
You're a goofy typo pouncer. Let's see "lot's more evidence"...
I have no overall theory as to what was used to bring the towers down,
specifically.
Can you explain the documented pools of molten steel?
How the tower collapsed even though the top was falling off?
How the towers came down almost at the same speed as a falling rock?
How and why WTC 7 collapsed straight down?
The speed of gravity! Whoa!

You have a very loose definition of a "controlled demolition".
Controlled demolitions don't cover half a city in smoke and debris for
the better part of a day.

just so you know, the guy who works next to you wrapping burgers is
really with the CIA.
MYSTERY? Two fucking planes hit them. Turn on the news, ya maroon.
How would you phrase it?
You have yet to explain what created pools of molten steel in the
basement of the WTC, haven't you?
Where did they come from? What caused them?

No, I do not. Have you seen footage of the WTC buildings collapsing? WTC
7 in particular?
Why was the top falling to the side on one of the buildings, but the
entire structure still collapsed straight down?
What was the editor of Fire Safety/Engineering/whatever complaining about
the "investigation" for?
Why did Van Romero say it looked exactly like a controlled demolition?
> Controlled demolitions don't cover half a city in smoke and debris for

>
Is that what the WTC 7 did?
It collapsed straight down. For different reasons than are claimed for
the other two buildings. With an entirely different architecture.
Controlled demolitions don't involve smoke, true. Do you see a lot of
very, very tall buildings demolished? WTC-sized buildings?
Is that why you can't explain these things?:
1. Lack of a right side engine - with conflicting stories
2. Lack of 757 in Security Camera Frames
3. Trail of White Smoke in Security Camera Frames
4. WRONG ANGLE OF APPROACH ON THE SECURITY CAMERA FRAMES
5. Smoke at the Pentagon 15 minutes too early for a 757.
6. Looping mystery plane over the White House

Wouldn't this lend even MORE credibility to the conspiracy theorists'
arguments? #7 WTC went down from regular run-of-the-mill fire, not the
never-before-seen jet fuel fire that took down the towers. Since there have
been plenty of fires in tall buildings, and those buildings haven't
collapsed... This is a major premise of the argument you're trying to argue
against, and you just repeated it back to him.
Am playing Devil's Advocate here. I realize that #7 WTC was right at the
site of two major building collapses. Being in close proximity to two
building collapses, in addition to being on fire, it doesn't surprise me
that it went down. (The alleged controlled demolition of #7 WTC is mostly
irrelevent anyway; since nobody knows just how controlled the collapse of
the other two buildings were, even if they were internally sabotaged.)
I'm just pointing out that, the way you stated it, it wasn't a very good
counter argument.

On the Internet, nobody knows if you're a dog, much less a Professor of Fire
Protection Engineering. For that matter, even expert witnesses can lie or
be misled. So... this response has zero value as a rebuttal. I'm not
saying the self-identified Professor of Fire Protection Engineering is a
liar, just that I have no evidence to believe otherwise.
-----
I'm not arguing for or against this conspiracy theory. I agree that it's
not worth much without verification of the engineering figures used. As a
reader, this level of conspiracy doesn't interest me much anyway. This is
Tom Clancy stuff. I'm more interested in the conspiracies of Kurt Vonnegut.
This response should not be interpreted as an attack on the alleged
Professor Brannigan. I'm replying to his post because it was the best of
all the skeptic posts here. I am also saying, though, that it's not good
enough. These responses haven't contributed enough information to make
reading them worthwhile.
To seriously debunk this theory, you must do one of two things (or better
yet, both):
1) Attack the logic of the argument itself -- the internal logic of the
argument.
Which is actually pretty pointless online, considering most writers are not
trained academics, nor do their careers rest on using precision logic to
stand up to the high standards of academic publication.
To explain.... Being right is different from being logical, and writing a
convincing argument is far removed from writing a good thesis for academic
publication. I am not suggesting that one should abandon logic, just that
in reality we all know news anchors, politicians, lawyers, and especially
amateur conspiracy theorists have a lower standard for logic than any
academic publication. It is this high level of attention to logic that
seperates Noam Chomsky from the conspiracy theorists.
However, because the logic is not held up to exacting standards, this
sometimes makes it easy to counter. Considering that so many people accuse
this man of being a lunatic, why has nobody attacked the logic of his
argument?
2) Use FACTS and LOGIC to attack the premises.
For example, you might start by pointing us to evidence that either a) steel
WILL liquefy at 4,700 degrees, or b) that jet fuel CAN heat steel up to
7,500 degrees in the time alloted. If this premise is untrue, it should be
easy to disprove. So, why hasn't anyone done this?
If you really believe that spreading this type of conspiracy theory is
dangerous, why don't you stop it by educating people? Insults and blanket
statements provided without supporting evidence do not count.
all "fire induced" collapses look like controlled demolitions. The
reason is that the fires cut the supports in the same ways as
explosives. Buildings collase inwards becasue they hve to, that is the
way they are designed.

Mr. Bollyn quotes reputable businessmen involved in the cleanup who found

9-11.

what I'm curious about this is what makes Konspiracy morons tick.
this is a far more interesting topic than the yawner claims made by
the Gummints'-Out-Ta-Get-Me crowd. in fact, a study of the Konspiracy
Kreep would be a good topic for a graduate psychology student.
I'd like to know what's the motivation for their Belief that
everything is the result of some massive gubmint Konspiracy, the more
improbable the better. is it boredom with life? a failed career as a
fiction writer? a hobby? teenaged angst? I find it difficult to
believe that the Konspiracy loons manage to get through a single day
without mentally breaking down, if, and that's a big if, they were
serious about this to begin with.
I suspect the typical Kooks finds life's complexities too overwhelming
and needs a tangible excuse for personal disappointment or failure,
and Gubbermint Konspiracies are the handiest and easiest.
is SMERSH keeping you from being hired at the primo job at Hollywood
Video?
when the fast food drive-through screws up your order, is the Moscow
Centre behind it?
are all those red traffic lights the result of the KAOS machinations?
did your high school football team lose again because of rays from DSE
satellites?
did SAVAK steal your prom date?
do you feel Really Important 'cuz you and you alone have Figured Out
The Real Deal and the rest of us are just -- to use your favorite term
- sheeple?
the internet provides a strange kind of positive feedback loop for
kooks. my guess is that the typical
Gobmint-Ate-My-Homework-And-Knocked-Down-The-WTC kook gets most of his
information from reading other kook's posts to usenet: afterall, why
bother actually learning engineering or reading legitimate news
sources when all the validation needed is found on
alt.Ill.believe.anything or another 14 year old's website?
the basic Konspiracy Kook also feeds off the attention he gets from
other kooks spiced at times by the casual, dismissive contempt
displayed when a normal usenet reader bothers to comment. so maybe a
few twists of their panties is a good thing, if it keeps them at home
in the basement, glued to the internet and off the streets.
the sci.astro group was plagued for years by a flock of rabid loons
who believed that the earth was going to be smashed by an undiscovered
planet in May of 2003. no amount of patient, rational discussion by
the sci.astro regulars could dissuade them. now that May has passed,
the loons remain in force, fearlessly misinterpreting any fact to
support their believe the the end is near. I really can't see the
substantial difference between the Konspiracy morons who believe the
Goobermunt destroyed the WTC and the nutcases who are still awaiting
armageddon from the skies.
look at it this way, kids, the reason you yammer on usenet and usenet
only is because no one takes you seriously outside this particular
forum. and that is a good thing, because if, one day, you left your
basement, entered the world of the living, and tried to explain your
"theory" to a family relative of someone who died on 911, you'd get
more than just a flame.

Every cockamamie story the crazies have contrived and you gulls
have swallowed is in conflict with the actual evidence and the
finding of engineers and scientists. This is only natural, since the
people who're contriving them are the same people who have
said "Bush stold (sic) the election," i.e., a pack of manipulable
fools, and the people who are swallowing them are fucking idiots.
Since your inane yapping is incoherent and apparently related

Tell me how fast something would be moving when it hit the
ground after free-falling 1100 feet. No fair looking it up, now
that you've represented yourself as someone who knows
about that sort of thing. Now tell me how fast the uppermost
parts of the building were actually moving. Finally, tell me
how you measured that. If you prefer, just admit that you
don't know what the hell you're talking about. The admission
will be the only thing that surprises anyone.

It's just the nature of things. Anyway, if you swallowed the
thermite bullshit, you couldn't be expected to be able to
understand even the most rudimentary explanation.
You guys could have more fun making up goofy stories about
the attacks if you'd relax and see that everyone else knows
what happened and isn't all that interesting your vaporing.
Just learn to enjoy being laughed at, and you'll feel better.
I posted what was printed in the magazine, and the sources for the calculations
were cited. Feel free to provide your own.

What!? Every moment of your life is a delusion?!
Get some help with that. You're way beyond help
on the physics problem.
Speaking of "losing," your answers to my questions
seem to have gotten lost.
Since you swallowed the idiotic thermite story, it isn't
surprising that you didn't understand its motivation.
Mahalo. My interpretation of the data is that the conspiracy guys are
on the wrong track. Instead, they might consider another absurd angle,
such as government collusion with the hijacksters.

Consider too that each floor was supported by the infrastructure, *not* the
floors beneath. Once the collapse began, there's no fucking *way* any of the
floors could absorb the kinetic energy contained in all the above floors falling
into them. There appeared to be no "resistance" to the collapse, precisely
because in any meaningful sense of the word (for our purposes, anyway), there
just wasn't any.
And as for the relative "neatness" of the collapse, *that* much was designed
into the towers in the first place for the eventual day when they would have to
be voluntarily brought down. Such is the case with *all* modern steel/glass
skyscrapers. No exceptions.

All right! This is the first time you utter something that seems to
make some sense. Now I want you to sit down, take a couple of deep
breaths, and read your own sentence above until you grasp its meaning.
I could have said "God didn't mean for you to understand that."
I suppose I should have been specific. I will now. You have
more than adequately demonstrated that you intend to keep
on living in a fantasy about the WTC attacks, and you wouldn't
be willing to assimilate the refutation of any of the bullshit into

Are you saying that you believe that this report is nonsense, and that the
person writing it--and his sources and witnesses--are lying? Tell us why. Be

I mean, if all you can do is be a smartass about it, you must not have

Incidently, the guy quoted there apparently admits he didn't see any
molten steel himself. At least acording to this kook who emailed him.

you're not paying attention, Copper. I didn't say the gummint is
good, I'm saying you Konspiracy Loonies are insane. The gobmunt, like
any large institution, has covered up its own negligence, bad judgment
and sometimes even intentional misconduct in the past. But it passes
stupidity to believe that the gobbermint is, on one hand, smart and
twisted enough to plan 911 yet dumb enough to fool everyone except a
few internet konspiracy morons.
but here's the real difference between us. I'm not an engineer, so I
don't have a personal understanding of the mechanics of how steel is
softened by the combustion of thousands of gallons of jet fuel and
other burning material, but I've read the reports and summmaries of
reports of people who are engineers and have accepted the obvious
conclusion of 99.999% of the population. You aren't an engineer
either, and for you, lack of professional training aggravated by
inability to understand or accept the assessment of those do do have
is what makes you a Kook.
what passes for thinking in your world is reading what you want to
hear on other kook's websites and newsgroups. but we all know that,
I'm still curious why you need to Believe.
you haven't answered that.
Besides, if you were really paying attention you'd have noticed the
communists under your bed and in the state department, the brigade of
three inch high dragoons in your back yard and the fact that your
gardener is also your congressman.
Sieg heil to you to.

rotmfflmmfao. Why didn't you just call me names or something,

If I said Osama bin Laden is actually Billy Graham in drag or some
zany thing like that, you'd take my word for it. You've shown that you
open wide and swallow whenever anyone makes up a lame story..

If I didn't already know you're a fucking idiot, I'd be amazed that
you think that remark has anything to do with what I said.

You asked me to try to explain your problems for you, moron.
My answer was and is that it's all too complex to try to dumb
down to your level and I don't intend to try.

Actually, you don't. You're an idiot. You believe that your
dissembling is a real reaction.

You and the like are one kind, and non-idiots are another, for example.
It's hilarious that you would even hint that you might be able to decide
who's credible, after your showing here. Once you swallow something
as idiotic as that thermite story, any comments you make about
credibility could wreck a whole generation of irony meters.
That's a fact, not an opinion. By nature, people of average or better
intelligence are more credible than, for example, you. The fact that
you don't know it is part of the proof.

"FAUX news"! Wow! More cretin wit! Why do so many of you
amazingly stupid people always start shrieking about something
that isn't even part of the discussion when you get frustrated?
Hasn't your mom told you to just shut the fuck up when you can't

Hell no. I read your idiotic gobble for laughs. Oh...wait...you mean
you're afraid to continue embarrassing yourself by trying to answer.
It would be a good move, cretin. Anyone who is so fucking stupid
that he thinks all people are equally credible (or equally anything),
should stay out of sight...unless you're some kind of masochist.
Why do you ask? Of course they're liars, if they parroted or invented
any part of the idiotic thermite story. Why do you keep asking people
that question? I get the feeling that you think there's some danger in
mentioning the fact that the story is bogus.

I suppose you think I already said that, but now I will. Yes.

What the fuck is with that fixation? Get some help. The story is
pure bullshit. If those people are actually stupid enough to believe
that nonsense, they aren't lying. Otherwise, they are. It's obvious,
cretin.

Now, that was funny. Show us your substance. Show us how you
recognize substance when you see it. har de har har
> mellstrr--pardon me for pointing out the obvious, but....
Merely obvious is nowhere near within your mental grasp.
You've shown that you can't even get the glaringly obvious.
That's not an opinion. It's an observation based on your
empty yapping.
There is an incredible difference between supporting a thirty floor building
and surviving the impact of having a thirty floor building dropped from
a height of ten feet. The first is a static load that slowly grows from
zero to the full weight as the building is completed. The second incident
is a dynamic load of several times the weight that must be resisted without
shattering. The difference can be compared to balancing a bowling ball on your
head, and catching a bowling ball with your head.
You people are still discounting resistance entirely.
Not to mention the fact that the top of one of the towers was initially
falling to the side, yet the entire building still pancaked.

Only because you are completely unable to grasp the obvious.
you were cracked long before I got on the scene. anyway, your total
evasion is noted.
but before you return to your Gubbermint-Ate-My-Dessert Konspiracies,
why don't you explain what deep psychological need you are getting
fulfilled by these pretty ridiculous fantasies?
are you feeling unique?
are you a professional victim in the "them against us" mode?
are you bonding with all the other basement dwelling kooks quailing in
fear of gubbmint-issue jackboots kicking your door in?
something's gotta be motivating you to act stupid, even if it is only
on usenet.
according to a UFO cult, the US Navy is resetting all the clocks in
the country, if you hurry, you can catch them in the act.

you guys are frigging morons! Go on, show me your engineering analysis
of this! I just have to see it.
Dear all that is good, you are really showing your stupidity now.
Come on, no arm waving, show us the maths. What? You can't? Then why
should you even believe yourselves?

You can't? So why should anyone believe you. Geez! The maths are not
even hard, any 18YO maths student should be able to do it given enough
time. Statics and dynamics are not hard.

"his"??
Pay attention, Doc. You've obviously missed a few things. You're still
batting zero. Again.
This is what the man says in this newsgroup post:
>>>>>>I didn't personally see molten steel at the World Trade Center site.
It was
reported to me by contractors we had been working with. Molten steel was
encountered primarily during excavation of debris around the South Tower
when large hydraulic excavators were digging trenches 2 to 4 meters deep
into the compacted/burning debris pile. There are both video tape and still
photos of the molten steel being "dipped" out by the buckets of excavators.
I'm not sure where you can get a copy.
Sorry I cannot provide personal confirmation.
