That is why I prefer not to discuss 9/11

Muslimah - I desperately want to think highly of you, but if you are taken in by things like this, I'm ashamed of it. I'll only spend my time on a single item, for this would all take too long for my liking.

"The twin towers could not have collapsed as a result of burning jet fuel. Most of that fuel was consumed on impact. In the south tower, most of the fuel was spilled outside the building. Heat caused by burning jet fuel does not reach temperatures needed to melt steel. What does stand out as particularly suspicious and still unexplained is that fires raged out of control beneath THREE of the collapsed towers for ONE HUNDRED DAYS, clearly indicating the presence of some kind of substance utilized in the demolition of the structures. "



I can get my friends who are chemical and civil engineers to give you the scientific reasons that this alone is an absolute laugh.

I recently had them take a look at this page - http://hawaii.indymedia.org/news/2003/07/3...248_comment.php - You see, this page is based upon the idea of traditional construction (as it even quotes the so "damning" study at the bottom)

The WTC was not built in the form of a standard Steel skeleton (a grid system), for it was requested to have more office area, and that meant no center columns. The weight of the building is fully supported by the external walls, with the floors in between acting as braces to keep them straight (imagine a tube with floors in it).

The heat of the jet fuel would not have done anything to weaken the external structure, this is right. But, it wasn't the external structure that gave way. It was the internal floors, which still held fire retardent from the 1960's. You have a single floorholding all weight from a jet liner, and all debris fallen from floors above it. If that floor gives way, it is possible (and this is the probable theory for the reason of the collapes, agreed by independent engineers!) that the floors following could cause a dominoe effect dislocating the floors before it. This is also the reason for such an implosion, rather than the buildings falling over. As the internal support gave way, the building fell in on itself.

As for the reason a fire went on for 100 days below the rubble, this shows nothing except stupidity. You have an entire office building that was on fire. When the hoover dam was built, it was laid in layers. If not, the concrete would takeHUNDREDS of years to cool! You see, there's a little deal about exothermic reactions and insulating them - When hoover dam was built, the layers were cured and cooled within a day. Look at the difference pressure and insulation does

But alas, I am done. I suppose the jews really did it too, since there was a rumor (no evidence) that all the jews walked out of the WTC before it happened
