perhaps you remember those eyewitness accounts of a 20 story gouge in its side and multiple out of control fires?

And no jet fueled fire has ever melted steel ether. zeemike Apr 2013 #19
No has ever claimed that the steel was melted hack89 Apr 2013 #21
Basic physics?....lets get real. zeemike Apr 2013 #23
It was not the jet fuel producing that black smoke hack89 Apr 2013 #24
Yep...not the truther charge comes out. zeemike Apr 2013 #29
Why do you think we have fire codes and sprinklers for high rise buildings? hack89 Apr 2013 #31

You have zero experience. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #47

And have these NYPD firefighter comments been explained? KansDem Apr 2013 #116
They just ignore it. zeemike Apr 2013 #118
Yawn. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #120

He can do a chemical analysis by looking at dust? TrogL Apr 2013 #142
The dust contained iron spheres and nanoparticles zeemike Apr 2013 #146
and there's the logical fallacy TrogL Apr 2013 #141
but no one is usng that exact simple logic to claim demolition NoMoreWarNow Apr 2013 #207
Here's one TrogL Apr 2013 #210
The key there is "virtually free-fall speed" NoMoreWarNow Apr 2013 #212
Yes, there WAS a lot of fuel in the building. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #46
And none of it that would burn hot enough to melt aluminum much less steel zeemike Apr 2013 #53
Wrong. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #56
Well I have to be wrong. zeemike Apr 2013 #57
One and two did not fall exactly, precicely straight down. Thegonagle Apr 2013 #64
Nothing that large can be done precicely strait down. zeemike Apr 2013 #66
Gravity goes down. What other direction would you like it to go? TrogL Apr 2013 #143
Take a box zeemike Apr 2013 #149
Perhaps you should actually try that experiment William Seger Apr 2013 #154
Don't need to do the experiment. zeemike Apr 2013 #160
So, steel isn't just impervious to fire, it's infinitely strong? Wow! William Seger Apr 2013 #171
It does not have to be infinitely strong to resist the force. zeemike Apr 2013 #172
If you weren't even aware of the lateral force of the rotation William Seger Apr 2013 #173
I was not aware of lateral forces?.... zeemike Apr 2013 #174
"How the fuck do you know that" ? William Seger Apr 2013 #175
You are making me dizzy with all that going round and round... zeemike Apr 2013 #176
"when I present someone equally qualified" William Seger Apr 2013 #177

You have presented nothing of substance William Seger Apr 2013 #183
The response is always the same...You have NO evidence. zeemike Apr 2013 #184
False analogy TrogL Apr 2013 #168
It was not an analogy. zeemike Apr 2013 #169
"basics of it does not change with scale" cpwm17 Apr 2013 #178
And yet WTC7 behaved the same as the towers. zeemike Apr 2013 #179
An object's strength is approximately proportional to its cross-sectional area cpwm17 Apr 2013 #189
"WTC7 behaved very differently than the towers" zeemike Apr 2013 #191
"Except that they all fell strait down into their footprint" cpwm17 Apr 2013 #204
Apples and oranges. And the basics do change with scale TrogL Apr 2013 #185
And WTC7 was not built that way at all zeemike Apr 2013 #188
WTC7 fell asymmetrically cpwm17 Apr 2013 #190
And that is also how they demolish a building built like that. zeemike Apr 2013 #193
All the scenes show WTC7 collapsing in silence, unlike demolitions cpwm17 Apr 2013 #200
Which is precisely how you would do it in demolition. zeemike Apr 2013 #202
Multiple engineering teams, multiple universities, multiple insurance analysts. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #216
No you are going with the official story. zeemike Apr 2013 #219
None of that is true. Not a word you just said is true about me. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #220
Well want to know what I am angry about? zeemike Apr 2013 #221
I note you still have nothing technical to offer about the collapse. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #222
Seriously what good would that do? zeemike Apr 2013 #223
You keep saying I ignored this and that. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #224
Well I guarantee you that I can address anything you say zeemike Apr 2013 #225
I showed you one of multiple videos that shows it. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #227
We were done long before this. zeemike Apr 2013 #228
More evasions. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #229
I will never retreat from the truth. zeemike Apr 2013 #230
But you haven't. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #231
You made the claim that the center columns did not fall not me. zeemike Apr 2013 #232
I provided you the evidence. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #233
Just curious but. zeemike Apr 2013 #237
The inner core only holds up a certain percentage of the building's mass. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #239
Causing 2 BILLION in damage to surrounding structures is a "Big Success" AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #234

The FDNY reported a 20 story gouge in the side of WTC 7 hack89 Apr 2013 #158
early on after 9/11, the standard claim was that the jet fuel melted the steel columns NoMoreWarNow Apr 2013 #180
There were many false claims early on - that is why we have investigations hack89 Apr 2013 #182
you wrote no one ever claimed the steel was melted, which was false NoMoreWarNow Apr 2013 #206
It is complicated hack89 Apr 2013 #208
I don't think it is clear that there was no demolition at all. NoMoreWarNow Apr 2013 #211
BAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #22
Yep...stage two...make out like it is so crazy you just have to laugh it off. zeemike Apr 2013 #25
molten metal was aluminum or copper, not steel kiri Apr 2013 #37
Have you ever seen molten aluminum or copper? zeemike Apr 2013 #40
Yes, I have seen molten aluminum. Heat it another 100 degrees. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #44
Raise that aluminium another 100 degrees, and tell me what color it is. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #73
Well that is true enough. zeemike Apr 2013 #77
Sure. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #87
Your efforts to persist with pertinent facts is admirable psychopomp Apr 2013 #131
Prove it was molten steel and not copper, aluminium or any other number of things that do melt at AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #42
Well don't wait cause I can't prove shit to you. zeemike Apr 2013 #54
So every time someone like you says 'it was molten steel' AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #55
And you can prove it was molten aluminum then? zeemike Apr 2013 #59
There had to be melted aluminum in the rubble pile hack89 Apr 2013 #68
what made it hot enough to melt it? zeemike Apr 2013 #69
Not true. Plenty of aircraft have burned in open air down to the steel members AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #71
And those aircraft melted the aluminum into a pool of red hot metal? zeemike Apr 2013 #81
I have seen pooled aluminium from such fires. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #88
All the burning consumables in the rubble pile melted the aluminum hack89 Apr 2013 #80
The core columns were 4 inches thick steel. zeemike Apr 2013 #83
The thermite would be gone in seconds hack89 Apr 2013 #84
Termite is not an explosive. zeemike Apr 2013 #86
You're describing tens of thousands of tons of thermite in special containers to direct cutting flow AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #90
Do you know how silly that sounds? zeemike Apr 2013 #94
You did. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #99
So you reject the nano-thermite argument? hack89 Apr 2013 #93
Now where did you get that idea? zeemike Apr 2013 #95
Nano-thermite is a popular truther argument hack89 Apr 2013 #97
And it is also a common item used in demolision... zeemike Apr 2013 #101
No it is not. hack89 Apr 2013 #102
With thermite? A LOT, because you'd have to do it around the entire beam. And in some cases AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #91
A good point. We would see burning thermite during the collapse AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #92
... zeemike Apr 2013 #96
And? AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #100
Most of the supports for that building were in the center. zeemike Apr 2013 #104
WRONG. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #105
Holy fuck... zeemike Apr 2013 #108
It's at about 1:30 in this video. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #110
That is not the center columns you see zeemike Apr 2013 #117
Wrong tower. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #121
that doesn't even look like metal TrogL Apr 2013 #144
That is what termite looks like burning. zeemike Apr 2013 #148

Same logic fallacy TrogL Apr 2013 #167
It is not a logical fallacy it is a piece of evidence. zeemike Apr 2013 #170
I don't need to. I'm attacking the logical flaws in your argument. TrogL Apr 2013 #186
Your evidence is that stuff falls strait down zeemike Apr 2013 #187
That's why there's so many false convictions TrogL Apr 2013 #192
Here's how to run a properly constructed conspiracy theory TrogL Apr 2013 #194
Here's a video the Truthers might like TrogL Apr 2013 #196
How often is a critical piece of evidence is what it looks like? zeemike Apr 2013 #195
The problem is, there are exceptions TrogL Apr 2013 #197
Well I will try again to make you understand me. zeemike Apr 2013 #198
Ok that's more like it TrogL Apr 2013 #201
Well the fact is... zeemike Apr 2013 #203
I've already told you I don't give a shit for the official story TrogL Apr 2013 #205
I don't need to prove it was aluminium. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #70
Well the evidence is all gone now. zeemike Apr 2013 #75
Your linked video uses the term 'molten metal' and 'molten steel' interchangeably. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #89
So? zeemike Apr 2013 #98
There are lots of ways to test it. AtheistCrusader Apr 2013 #103
