New heory Explains How Twin Towers Collapsed: Was Mixture Of Sprinkler Systems And Molten Aluminum

Simensen claims that it is overwhelmingly likely that the two aircraft were trapped inside an insulating layer of building debris within the skyscrapers. This leads him to believe that it was the aircraft hulls rather than the buildings themselves that absorbed most of the heat from the burning aircraft fuel.

The SINTEF scientist believes that the heat melted the aluminium of the aircraft hulls, and the core of his theory is that molten aluminium then found its way downwards within the buildings through staircases and gaps in the floor – and that the flowing aluminium underwent a chemical reaction with water from the sprinklers in the floors below.

“Both scientific experiments and 250 reported disasters suffered by the aluminium industry have shown that the combination of molten aluminium and water releases enormous explosions,” said Simensen.

Sigh...

Let take a quick look at an aircraft structure please. It is made of THIN aluminum:
- Skin TIN
- Longerons THIN
- Wing Spar thick
- Wing struts & skin THIN

90% of an aircraft is made of metal 3/32 or less in thickness.

There was no aircraft post impact. It was aluminum confetti with the exception of the engine cores and the landing gear which are hefty alloys.

So guess what was found post crash? Engine cores and landing gear. Momentum kept them going through the buildings, the rest...

As to this “blob” of aluminum... Nope. Not even close to probable. Confetti.... Think confetti.

Ah Ha, the entire chemical and metal industrial complex was part of the plan! But everyone knows that metal does not burn.

Skyscraper + flying plane full of fuel = bad.

That might be good enough for you. But for engineers figuring this stuff out and then building things better the next time... that is what we LIVE for.

HMS Sheffield.

Again

1. HMS Sheffield had a steel superstructure

2, All damage was from out of control internal fires

3. Externally, the ship lost a little paint. There was no superstructure or hull damage (other than the hole the missile went through)

Port side

Starboard side

(Until next time)

Commercial airliners cabin pressurization is run off of the engines, the emergency oxygen system is generated by a generating canister not a high pressure tank system.
