I'm sure that the Karl Rove/ Chimpy McHitlerburton Weather Machine has something to do with that.
According to the project manager, Mr. DeMartini all those buildings were designed to withstand major impacts.....including jetliners and I'm sure falling debris.
And in late June in Nizhniy Tagil, Russia, the sun actually rose in the north-northeast. ;-)
The melting point of the steel is approx. 2700 degrees....how hot can diesel fuel burn?
Engineering degrees are offered in many of today's modern universities to help but not all ignorance and stupidity can be overcome by the obvious.
Now where is the bunny with the pancake on its head?
See???? The world needs my study!
Steel does not need to melt to bend.
What do they use at steel mills for fuel to melt steel?
uh, gravity?
As for the speed with which the building collapsed, look into something called "failure of redundancy". Once a building reaches its failure point, a chain reaction ensues and the whole thing comes down within seconds.
I can very highly recommend this book:
You'll find that most major structural failures happen in a big hurry. The warning signs are subtle; the actual collapse is sudden (I used to work in construction law, and did a lot of litigation involving construction failures of various kinds. Bought this book on the recommendation of a colleague.)
I do so miss Oolong, may his bunny soul rest in peace.
Easy to explain it. You've filled your noodle with a bunch of mush about PNAC, NWO, Trilateral Commission, Bildeberger, Illuminati. *list conspiracy here*, and you'll happily gargle it.
The two WTC towers did, in fact, withstand major impact. They didn't fall until over an hour after each plane hit, buying precious time for many occupants to escape.
The only way I've ever seen a building fall that fast is by controlled demolition.......have you ever seen a building that was on fire, even for hours, fall so quickly?
They never really know til disaster strikes.
Have you ever seen all the prep work it takes to get a building ready to drop in a controlled demolition? You can't have people working inside one after you do all the work needed and on a building of that size it would take weeks to prep and only after months of review had been done.
I take it you have this knowledge and expertise and wish to confess?
Have you ever taken an air compressor nozzle and pointed it into a fire? Or even simply blown into the midst of hot coals?
The heat from the fire was undoubtedly creating enormous drafts as the cool surrounding air was drawn up into the inferno.
It doesn't matter what you've seen. No one has ever seen anything like this and the NIST explanation is the most plausible. Read the article, please.
