Heat weakens and steel bends. Under millions of pounds of pressure it fails you fucking retard. Go back to your rabbit hole.

Fire, no matter how it is started, let alone a massive impact, will compromise the strength of steel construction.

What, you didn't learn about physics in college?

We have a wood stove and the place where the burning wood sits has a big bowl from hot embers sitting on it. Once you get steel red hot it bends, etc.

Not only does steel weaken at those temperatures, other things were burning in the twin towers that burned hotter than the jet fuel that started the fire.

This is your typical conspiracy nut tactic. Start with a statement about jet fuel. That statement gets disproven. Make no comment, and change the subject to explosions and building 7. It's a never ending process. Never argue with a crazy man.

It wasn't planes or jet fuel. Those towers were brought down by a series of controlled detonations, carried out by a young state senator from Illinois named Barack Obama.

Yeah it was totally random. It had nothing at all to do with the pair of thousand+ foot towers that collapsed right next to it. Just suddenly, without warning, it crumbled to the ground. It's completely baffling.

Sure is. When it was over 200m away from the n tower and well over 1000f from the s. And was hit by the same amount of debris that EVERY OTHER BUILDING IN THAT RADIUS was. But iiiits the one that randomly falls.

Actually rigorous temp exams are what caused the construction of megabuildings to start with steel. Bc jetfuel range temps Wont melt it. And thats the hottest thing any building would be exposed to.

airplane engines don't melt because the heat has somewhere to go -- it is removed via the exhaust. clever eh?

why doesn't your car engine melt? oh yeah, the water jacket removes heat. run without coolant for a while and see what happens.

the towers melted because the crash removed insulation from the beams which was already inadequate to start. the burning jet fuel kept supplying heat to a mostly enclosed area. the insulation was present on the beams to give people a chance to exit before the beams compromised due to a fire. the engineers planned for a normal fire to create this kind of problem. they didn't plan on a massive impact knocking off the insulation.

Funny. Jet fuel is basically kerosene. Have you see a kerosene heater? Does it compress the fuel to burn it?

Perhaps you are thinking of diesel? It burns too without compression. But in a diesel engine the vapor is compressed until it autoignites.

Right. Like believing that jet fuel only burns when compressed, or that a fire in a building can't deform and weaken steel, or that air compressed by a collapsing building can't mimic a controlled demolition. Or, to top it all off, that the government can keep a vast conspiracy of thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of people, all engaged in committing an incredible treason, silent for 14+ years without one whistleblower coming forward.

Idiots.

A&E for Truth is one of the worst of the crazy conspiracy sites, because it has a veneer of knowledge to it, but it's as crazy as any of them. And nowhere does anyone address the absolute impossibility of carrying out such a conspiracy and getting away with it.

Sprinkler systems are intended to suppress small localized fires, not a plane filled with thousands of pounds of fuel crashing into the building even if it still were capable of working. No, a typical system would not put out even a small amount of jet fuel.

Here, I'm going to let you in on a secret known only to members of the Illuminati and those with the observational powers of a 5 year old. Buildings with fire suppression systems still routinely have major fires. Who knew right?

Preparing a building for a controlled demolition takes considerable time and effort.The tower walls would have had to be opened on dozens of floors.Thousands of pounds of explosives, fuses and ignition mechanisms would need to be sneaked past security and placed in the towers without the tens of thousands of people working in the World Trade Center noticing.Referring to a conversation with Stuart Vyse, a professor of psychology, an article in the Hartford Advocate asks, "How many hundreds of people would you need to acquire the explosives, plant them in the buildings, arrange for the airplanes to crash [...] and, perhaps most implausibly of all, never breathe a single word of this conspiracy?"

More science and engineering graduates are liberal than conservative you dumb fuq. I actually took deforms, statics, materials, and dynamics before getting my masters in structural engineering where I also took courses in failure mechanics of structural beams, material fatigue, and plenty of other courses that my little liberal brain somehow managed to grasp. I then went on to pass the PE and structural supplement. I'm guessing you took Physics 101 and then got a dime a dozen business degree and think you are hot shit with that massive conservative brain of yours.

It's called a fire suppression system you dumb fuq. Look up the word suppression. Sprinklers don't put out a building fire, they provide enough time for occupants to get out of the building before emergency crews can assist in trying to save the structure. In the case of jet fuel there is nothing any firefighter or sprinkler could do to suppress that. If you don't believe me try to get some, put a drop of it in your hand, light it, and try not to close your hand for as long as you can.

Very doubtful and not supported by my own experience nor any objective surveys that I've seen. In fact, just the opposite. e.g.,

The politics of engineers

Oct 16, 2012 Stephen Mraz | Machine Design

Engineers tend to view themselves as much less liberal and slightly more conservative than the general public, according to a recent survey of over 1,200 readers of MACHINE DESIGN and Electronic Design magazines. The same survey also found that engineers say they are more likely to be Republican (42.1%) or Independent (33.7%) voters, as opposed to Democrats (14.5%). And although over a third of the engineers think Republicans represent the best interests of the engineering community better than Democrats, a majority of engineers (48.1%) believe neither party is really on the side of engineers.

Sort of. The towers were designed to withstand the impact of a 707 (the largest plane at the time) and it was assumed that the impact would occur at around 200 mph (landing speed) and that the plane would be mostly empty of fuel. Of course, when you say "designed" we're talking about 1960s analysis, which was mostly guesswork. The towers were hit by fully fueled 767s travelling at 400+ mph, vastly more KE than presumed in the 60s.

To put the final nail in your comment, the towers DID withstand the impact of the planes. They didn't fall over, GET IT? It was the fire that brought them down, not the impact.

If "they" hadn't done that "controlled demolition" on WTC 1,2,7- I am totally sure America would have just ignored the planes hitting the buildings and the Pentagon.

I mean that really would have hardly even made the news, right?

They were designed to withstand the fire from the jet fuel as well. Fire could not have brought down those buildings.

Another jump shift, now to building 7. No one says building 7 was hit by a plane. It caught fire, it burned, and collapsed.

The government was probably negligent. Two of the piloting hijackers should've been prevented from getting into the country. Another, Mohammed Atta, was being tracked by the FBI. Some or all of the three were being targeted for CIA and FBI stings to turn them into Al Qaeda undercover informants for the US. Failing that, they let them on their way instead of placing them on the no-flight databases, even after being named by foreign intel services.

Lol, the claim wasn't that more people are not conservative than are. The claim was:

Attempting to add in moderates, which still are only the second largest group vs conservatives, in a lame attempt to try to save the pitifully small < 12% number of those who view themselves as liberal (per the claim) is at the level that I'd expect from a Gender Studies major like you.

Actually there were designed to resist the fire. The insulation on the beams was there only to provide enough time to evacuate the building and hopefully bring the fire under control. You can't make something "fireproof".

Engineers are conservative. Not because we aren't sure if something "is enough" but because we know we don't know. This conservatism tends to spill over into your ordinary life.

For the amount you would need, it would have shown on video. Thermite isn't as precise as explosives and if you are trying to create a controlled demolition, thermite would be the worst possible choice. It burns slowly and doesn't stay where you put it.

The detonation velocity for nano-thermite is still too low. Conventional high explosives would be easier to source, apply and detonate.

The reason they stick with thermite, nano or otherwise, is that is was purportedly found in the trade center debris. It wasn't, but they hold on to that with a death grip.

Probably about the same numbers of Lefties who believe in various "Big Oil bought up and is hiding all of the miracle energy inventions," "Big Pharma" has hidden all of the natural cures for diseases, the Jews are behind _______, various conspiracies involving Monsanto/GMOs, vaccines, fluoridated water, chemtrails (which seem to crossover), the white man's government created [crack, sickle cell, _______ ] to kill off the black man, AIDS to kill gays, whatever [insert name of cop killer busted red-handed with multiple witnesses] was framed by 'The Man,' various conspiracies involving Devil Dick Cheney and Halliburton, "Hands up, Don't shoot," etc., etc.

Plenty of nut jobs on all sides. Turns out that Republicans are slightly less likely to believe in conspiracy theories.

They used barely any dynamite, not enough to trace. There were insiders who worked there who brought hacksaws to work and they were paid to cut away at the beams in precise locations during their lunch breaks over the course of several years. My uncle caught one of them once but they paid him big to not talk.

Have you met Michael Moore? Sean Penn? David Icke? Jeff Rense? Al Sharpton now and then. Or go read some of Daily Kos. Oh wait... They're just speaking the truth right? lol

Granted Alex Jones and Beck have been very successful in building acts around it. But in most all surveys of such things the whack pack comes out pretty even across the board. Just different choices of nut trees to climb. In a lot of cases they share the same basic conspiracy just coming at it from different directions.

If you ever start to believe that your side is that of the "smart ones" all that you have to do is turn on CSPAN and listen to the callers on their Republican, Democrat, and Independent lines. You'll be rather quickly dissuaded of that idea regardless what side you're on.

The 9/11 Commission didn't address structural questions or cause of the collapse of Towers 1 or 2 or the damage any other buildings in the area either.

No, the insulation was removed by the force of the impact of a fully loaded 767 hitting the buildings at 400+ mph.

I am curious. If they didn't use planes, what happened to the people who where on the planes? A massive payoff to keep quiet and live on a tropical island somewhere? Or was a cover story manufactured for every single "passenger"?

Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper for our government to train terrorists to fly planes?
