Yes - go ahead and wet your pants - because steel melts. You don't need to melt all 46 columns to collapse a building. I am an architect. We make sure steel columns are protected with expensive fireproofing materials, because they melt at high temperatures. You can weld a steel tank with a hole in it and it can be full of gasoline and it won't blow - it has to have oxygen to blow and create the high temperatures (like a mallotoff cocktail or a 747 full of fuel that is instantly turned into gas). And I should take this opportunity to call you a dummy.
GREENWALD: ... One of the oddest shapes is called the compression. It's so valuable that it's been locked inside a tent within the hangar.
It looks like a meteorite and nobody knows which tower it came from says Charles Gargano, vice chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the hangar and the Trade Center Site. Gargano says the compression is actually 4 stories that have been crushed into a jagged object four feet high. From: 911stealth http://www.youtube.com/user/911stealt...
Steel Ignores Jet Fuel by Edward Mitchell
I am not a scientist, nor a physicist, nor structural engineer. I am a Boilermaker, Shipbuilder, and Blacksmith Forger. Union. Now a contractor on military facilities. I build steel storage tanks for jet fuel.
A few years ago, a typhoon blew through, and I got to watch a Mobil AST, with 1,000,000 gallons of diesel in it, get hit with lightning. The grounding failed, and the million gallons blew up.
Well, for a diesel fire that is. It didnt blow up. It simply caught fire, burned itself out after 4 days, blackened the steel. Catch that?
One million gallons of diesel fuel, burned for 4 days, and didnt melt a thing.
The tank, 1/4″-thick steel, never melted.
Yet the 47 HUGE box-section core columns, the main structural supports of the WTC towers, are said to have melted?
