Its dramatic collapse several hours after the Twin Towers fell triggered a decade of conspiracy theories. Those who believed that the September 11 attacks on America were not carried out by Al Qaeda terrorists pointed to the fall of World Trade Center Building 7 as proof of their wild claims. But a newly released video appears to finally prove once and for all that Building 7 was brought down by the intense heat of the blazing World Trade Center - and not explosives, as conspiracy theorists claim.

Fire doesn’t melt steel, right?

I hope you forgot a sarcasm tag.

Basic blacksmithing must be too difficult for all those intelligent truther moonbats to understand.

Paulbots are not allowed to think. They are programmed to follow and they can only follow their supreme leader. If he says it happened they believe, no matter how ridiculous it is.

No seriously, I heard Rosie say so.

No seriously, I heard Rosie say so.

Well if Rosie said it, it must be true. I guess you didn't need the sarcasm tag.

They’ve lost it since, obsessed over Ancient Aliens (even the military channel has gone UFO).

No reason to blame the 9/11 nut jobs on the Military channel; much less, per UFO's perspectives. . .Doubt those 'so incredulous' (and incredibly naive, to believe the pap per US plot)' have ever accessed this channel.

Noooo; believe they have their own reasons; and weaknesses of mind.

All to say; and IMHO.

No, these cables sort of sewed the vertical supports together. They resisted outward forces and were all anchored to a shaft in the center of the building. Since the forces on all the walls were approximately equal they neatly balanced, allowing thinner vertical members. The structure failed when the cables gave way and the vertical supports bowed out and collapsed very rapidly. Once one floor failed, it just cascaded the others below it and floors above failed when they hit the ground.

My mechanical engineering curriculum didn’t cover the non-fire technology for melting steel.

The EE’s cover it.

It's been 25 years since I took my materials class for steel. I thought about it for a little bit a realized that my book actually did cover Electric Arc Furnaces. We didn't dwell on it..
