We have lots of “loonies” as some call it asking silly scientific questions:
After all, architects and engineers know nothing about buildings. (sarc)
I mean come on, let’s not thow in some real science, like collapse speeds compared to other demolished buildings and such...
Shh. Don’t tell tell anyone your secret...Newton was a democrat. LOL!
The thing has more lives than Jason Voorhees. I thought the collapse of the I-580 overpass in California caused by a gasoline truck crash and fire finally killed off the "fire can't melt steel" myth.
The Mechanical Engineer and the other guests did think that it was impossible that Building 7 could fall because the columns just collapsed.
Well the whole area of Manhattan is built on nothing but landfill.
But why blame the U.S. Government (i.e Bush)?
If the believers believe all they do in terms of the mechanical failure why blame the U.S. why not the enemy that may live within our country setting bombs?
This is where the Truthers argument goes political and not scientific.
It’s a bunch of crap that should have been put down immediately but the MSM
loved the drama, to the detriment of the loved ones.
It's typical to load steel no higher than 60% of the steel's room temperture strength. Look at the chart, and you will see the line cross the 60% line at about 1200F. It take 2700F to turn steel to liquid, which is not necessary .
Quick, get Alan Grayson on!
“Fire can’t melt steel’’. No? Tell them that in Dresden Germany. They might disagree with you. Better yet, ask them in Hiroshima Japan. They can really tell you what heat does to steel. And lots of other things too.
Oh, for goodness’ sake. Fire can’t melt steel? LOL
Next thing you know, he will claim there is safe located at Ground Zero that he needs to open....
I know the person who did the safety and environmental assessment of WTC-7 long prior to 9-11. She tells me that the building had substantial diesel tanks for emergency generators on the roof. Unfortunately, they were perched almost on top of the elevator shafts, which is why the building went down the way it did.
Oh, I see. Steel smelting plants must be a myth then. And I have a bridge I'd like to sell these people.
I was really fascinated when he opened Al Capone’s safe. All that money, all those bonds and the whiskey, it had to be worth a bloody fortune as old as it was....oh, wait a minute...
Al Capone's vault. In case anyone has forgotten.
This was by design. Fox just hired Lou Dobbs. Rivera said if Dobbs was ever hired he would leave Fox News. Well, he must have found a way to start his negotiations out of his contract by pulling this stunt tonight.
Who cares? Did you hear that we have some “missile truthers” left on FR? We must drive them out so we can achieve purity of essence.
You cannot have a discussion with these people. They are so entrenched that it is pointless to try and change their minds.
I have a friend who believe that the Pentagon was hit with Russian missles. He trotted out “facts” that when connected sounds like it could work. I told him that if given enough time, I could string together facts that the US Navy really bombed Pearl Harbor.
Where do these morons come from?
He should really give the Flat Earth Society equal time ... fair is fair.
When people hear Geraldo speak it makes them feel like they are mental giants .
This is surprising, coming from the man who spent weeks hyping the opening of “Al Capone’s vault,” only to find it empty? He’s never had any credibility. What a doofus.
