BS. Heat up concrete to cherry red and the steel inside loses all of its strength. Might as well be pasta.

Whilst living in Houston a tanker carrying ammonia blew up in an underpass. Blew the concrete right off the rebar. Like a human skeleton. Took weeks to replace since all of the work had to take place around the other 6+ lanes in the same area.

Dude, I was being sarcastic. See later posts.

I am very familiar with hot iron and steel.

I make stuff out of both all the time.

Imagine all the roads and bridges destroyed by electric vehicle fires that just burn and burn.

If you believe the conspiracy theorists about 911, then the answer is obvious. There were deep state operatives planting charges on the overpass, and the tanker fire was just a cover for their operations.

OK, now please read number 62, and then go back and scroll through the whole thread.

Your keen scrutiny and observational powers are duly noted.

If you check out the traffic cameras, looks like exit 32 is where they’re directing traffic off 95. Mile Marker 29 shows the actual site, and then again directing traffic off at mile marker 25.5.

I wonder how that tanker managed to catch fire at that particular spot?
