There have been numbers conspiracies regarding the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers in New York, but nearly all of them hinge on the oft-touted fact that the temperature at which jet fuel burns is significantly lower than the temperature at which steel melts.
Well, an iron worker on YouTube is causing quite a stir among people who believe that the towers were not, in fact, brought down by the jets flown into them.
In the video, the man attempts to debunk the theory that structural steel would remain strong at the temperature at which jet fuel burns by heating a peace of structural metal to that very temperature and bending it easily.
Move on to page 2 for the video:
This guy is an idiot, thinking a half in thick steel bar in anyway exhibits the same strength as an industrial I beam. This has proven nothing. Do this test with a section of industrial I-beam and then let’s see how your theory stacks up. It won’t. I took welding in high school and in order to generate the type of collapse that happened in the twin towers you would have had to use thermite plasma.
Useful idiots abound
Plus – the steal wasn’t sitting in the fire in the trade centers for hours. Which would be necessary for this type of reaction from steal beams.
This test HAS been done with structural steel, many times, both in labs and inadvertently in building fires. Sorry, but your high school welding class didn’t educate you on this particular topic. Steel, including huge I-beams, will weaken and fail in an ordinary house fire. The average volunteer fireman knows this, as do local building codes officials.
Ok explain then several super sky scraper fires in the past 13 years that haven’t collapsed that flames reached HIGHER temperatures recorded than those at the twin towers? Not to mention the footage that has since been released that shows explosions at the base levels of both towers 3 minutes prior to collapse? None of your facts add up dude. Do your home work completely before you insult someone.
That same footage when slowed down shows explosions 3 floors further down ahead of the collapse as the towers collapsed. Explain that. You can’t. Jet fuel did NOT cause the collapse!
Do the math dude, the fires were contained a very small section of floors. Ok so say the jet fuel causes the floors above the impact to collapse, the weight of that alone would NOT cause the rest of the tower to collapse.
First let me start by saying, I don’t believe the official story released to the public. Second, I’m aware of the usurpation if the United states government. That being said, I’m tired of the catchphrase “Jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams”. It over simplifies an entirely too elaborate scenario. This man is simply displaying that steel DOES compromise at lower temperatures with ADDED stress. But regardless of that… We’re 15 years down the road. Can we get some real answers instead of pretending to push the conspIracy with a catchphrase? P.S. Why is this the ONLY “conspiracy” Democrats will entertain? I’m genuinely curious.
The jet fuel flashed off within 10 minutes. Not enough to take down the building.
When the 6 day war ignited, Israel attacked one of our destroyers in the Mediterranean Sea, on the express orders of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. They blamed this attack on the Iranians and several U.S. Sailors lost their lives. They did this in an attempt to get public approval to send troops in Israels defense, The war ended 6 days later and American involvement never came to fruitiion.
