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?

Supported by steel beams.

You might want to look at the following pictures. It doesn't look like
the steel held up very well.

You mean - no - any controlled demolitions expert will tell you that
bridges are built of steel reinforced concrete - that's why they fall
straight down. And they can't melt because diesel fuel isn't hot
enough - ask any controlled demolitions expert.

And further more, according to Rosie O'Donnell (a highly respected
controlled demolitions expert), WTC 7 fell at the speed of gravity!!!
That can only happen with controlled demolition just like any
demolitions expert will tell you.

God these people are morons.

Quite so: concrete clad steel has a much better fire-rating than bare
steel. Stout timber columns have better resistance than bare steel,
for that matter.
But the achilles heel of concrete reinforced with steel is at the
fixings. Bare steel.....

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.

Morons.
