Fire caused that one to fall down too? Building 7 contained a command center for the City of New York as well as a number of large data centers and trading floors. All of them had stand by diesel generators and large amounts of stored diesel fuel. The building interior caught fire from flaming debris when the north tower came down. Eventually the stored diesel fuel caught fire also which overwhelmed the steel skeletal structure. Diesel fuel burns at temperatures high enough to soften steel and cause buildings to fall into their own footprints? From now on, I weld with diesel. Assuming that you actually know how to weld and actually have a little knowledge of metalurgy (which is highly suspect) then you should be more than aware of exactly how high temperatures can get in enclosed spaces when subjected to large volumes of heat generated by a large volume of fuel. Ask a fire fighter sometime about how steel beams bend when subjected to temperatures much lower than that produced by diesel fuel. It's not a question of melting - it's a question of weakening the steel - you aren't talking about hardened steel, but mild steel. Once the heating and stress process starts, the failure possibilities escalate exponentially. As to welding, did you know that you can weld with gun powder? Of course you didn't. Nothing will stop the "Truthers" led by that illiterate moron Dylan "Loose Brain" Avery whose only qualification engineering wise is the fact that his knuckles don't drag on the ground when he walks. Morons. Dylan who? I weld stick, mig, and tig, mild steels and stainless. Haven't gotten around to aluminum yet. Why my welding should be "highly suspect" is beyond me, other than as an ad hominem attack. Isolated fires in three buildings would not be sufficient to utterly destroy all three of those buildings, causing each and every one of them to collapse in upon themselves in exactly the same way as with controlled demolition. It had never happened before in the history of steel buildings, then suddenly it happens three times in one day? Puh-leeeeese! |
