ORIGINAL: sissifytoserve Who gives a CRAP what Matt Taibii says. The most FAR out thing to me...is how 3 Steel frame buildings (One that wasn't even hit by a plane) collapsed on Sept. 11th due to "fire". What a bunch of crap. Hello A/all, Popular Mechanics a year or two ago had an issue devoted to "Debunking 9/11 Myths" The World Trade Center, taking the example given by this poster, was a concrete building with steel reinforcing. The general claim by 9/11 conspiracy theorists is that jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt steel, not to mention paper and wood or whatever. This is true. Jet fuel and paper burning will not melt steel reinforcing. What it will do is heat the steel reinforcing to about 1/2 of it's melting temperature, where it loses a significant percentage of it's strength. At which point, the concrete is subjected to various stresses including gravity, wind forces, etc. The buildings then pancaked in the same manner that buildings are destroyed because an already weakened framed building had the floors above other floors collapse downward. Gravity pulls toward the center of the earth's mass, and it is natural for tall buildings to collapse this way. Popular Mechanics went in to each of the disasters on 9/11, and pointed out how they all could have happened without a conspiracy theory, base charges in the buildings hit, Santa Clause, etc. Believe what you read on the internet, or not, it doesnt really matter to me, but the events of the day are easily born out by basic physics principles, architectural engineering, aeronautical engineering, etc. On the other hand, I personally would not be overly surprised to discover that Monkeyboy called his Daddy's friends in Al Qaeda and asked them to blow up the buildings. This is not technically a "conspiracy" involving the Rotarians or the Masons or the Boy Scouts of America. As far as cell based terrorist structures, each individual cell knows very little about what other cells are doing. One cannot spill the beans on things one does not know. Sinergy
