Fuel fires cannot melt steel.
“ Fuel fires cannot melt steel.”
The fuel fires on 9/11 didn’t either. It softened the metal reducing its load bearing capacity.
Propane has 84250 btu/gallon.
Jet A has 135000 btu/gallon.
If anyone can make/buy a forge fired by propane (look it up, let alone by wood at 8600 btu/pound, a fraction of Avgas), steel can certainly be melted in forge-like conditions further fueled by contents within the confines of the concrete floors of the WTC.
To deny this is no different than asserting that Wood is right.
They dont need to melt it, just soften it.
“Fuel fires cannot melt steel.”
The 9/11 Truthers have mislead you. Conspiracy theorists cherry pick some isolated facts while distracting you from the big picture. Fuel fires lasting for hours will weaken steel, and then the structure sags and joints break and once floors start to pancake, the force of that collapses the building. This also answers the other favorite conspiracy talking point, that a jet cannot “knock down” a sky scraper. The impact and fire weakened the buildings, and that was enough. It was not like those old Godzilla movies where a guy in a costume pushes over model buildings.
True, but the structural integrity of the building was compromised when the plane hit. Enough vertical steel support was sheared off and/or bent to allow the collapse happen.

Then why do you think fire retardant foam is sprayed onto steel structures when they’re built?

Serious question: have you ever seen a blacksmith at work?
“”Fuel fires cannot melt steel.””
You don’t have to melt it, you only have to weaken it, we forge metals far below their melting point.
They don’t need to melt steel in order to fail
That’s kind of the thing, now, isn’t it?
1) do you think there was anything else burning in there? (paper, carpet, wooden desks, shelves, etc.?)
2) You don’t have to completely melt steel to weaken it.
I’m guessing you’re being facetious here, mocking the stupids.
Fuel fires cannot melt steel.
1. And planes cannot fly that fast that low.
2. A collapsing building cannot drop at free-fall speed.
3. Flying an airplane accurately that fast is near impossible.
4. The records of missing money was at the exact spot hit at the pentagon...the backups were kept in the exact hit on the world trade center.
5. A terrorist passport was found on the side walk...miraculously surviving the fires and damage.
6. An engine found did not belong to said aircraft.
7. All the concrete pulverized to dust???
8. Steel still molten hot days later...termite?
9. Plane speed same as a cruise missed.
Can a soda can destroy a brick? Same phenomenon with plane and building.
Lin Wood may be a nut. When it comes to 911, I’ll be crazy too.
True enough but you don’t need to melt the steel, just soften it.
The way the Trade Center was constructed all the supporting steel columns were on the outside of the building forming the perimeter , 200 yards x 200 yards.
The floors were supported or ‘’carried off’’ by trusses.
A truss is a light weight steel form.
The heat softened the trusses until they couldn’t support the weight of the floor and one after the other they ‘failed’’.
Assuming you aren’t being sarcastic...ever seen a blacksmith?
They don’t typically melt steel either, but they make it all bendy.
they didn't melt it. They heated it until it's integrity was compromised...in other words the heat softened the steel until it couldn't do the job it was supposed to do. It's the same principle as a blacksmith heating up iron to bend and shape it.
