From now on, I weld with diesel. You can believe what you want, and weld with it also, but diesel will definitely burn hot enough to weaken steel. There have been numerous incidents where tanker trucks have caught fire following an accident and caused the structural collapse of a highway overpass. Hiway overpasses built of steel reinforced concrete, that is. Not exactly the same thing is it? Steel is steel, heat it hot enough, it weakens. The evidence is there for all to see. Exactly so. Thermite would do it -- diesel would not. The evidence is there for all to see. No - thermite wouldn't do it. Thermite's advantage is that the heat has to be contained to reach temperature - like in welding rails or specialized shapes. It thermite is exposed, the heat disappates and the reaction disappears. I would think a welder would know that. Next thing, "Truthers" will be claiming that WTC 7 and the the Towers were brought down by tachyon beams routed through the deflector dish of an Klingon War Bird who were hired by the Bush Administration so he could have a pretext to go to war with Iraq.
