Yes, achieving a temperature to melt steel would be unlikely, but aviation fuels can easily reach 800 to 1000C when burning in a pool/spillage, and perhaps much more in a structure with winds causing all sorts of furnace type effects. Whereas steel typically loses half its strength around 650C (depending on the actual grade of the steel). I would suggest that the steel in the WTC would not have been able to cope with anywhere near a 50% loss in strength
The WTC fires were towards the top of the building because that was where the aircraft crashed into the the two towers. Steel melts at about 1400 degrees C; as a fire-person, can you explain why the fires resulting from the aircraft were of sufficiently high temperatures as to melt the steel structure several floors below the fires from crashed aircraft, and were able to result in the free-fall of the whole structure?
The buildings collapsed in free-fall time; which means that all the support at the bottom of the buildings must have been removed in an instant and at the same time across the whole structure. If the lower support of the buildings had not been removed instantly and simultaneously then the building would not have fallen straight down and in free-fall time – the building would have toppled sideways.
WTC7 was not struck by any aircraft, so where did the fires in this building start, and how, and why did this building collpse? Can you explain why the BBC reporter announced that WTC7 had collapsed 20 minutes BEFORE it actually collapsed? WTC7 could be seen still standing behind the reporter's head.
How do you explain the damage to the Pentagon? Officialdom claims it was struck by a civilian aircraft, but why does the damage to the building not agree with the official claim?
The 'attack' on the WTC was the official justification for the “war on terror”. Then why did Blair & Co resort to plagiarising a document from the internet in order to produce the “dodgy document” that claimed Iraq could launch weapons of mass destruction against Western Europe in 45 minutes? Why didn't the US and UK governments place solid and undeniable evidence in the public domain to prove their case of terrorist destruction of the WTC?
The underlying question is; can we trust our own governments, do they give us sufficient reasons to believe what they tell us, can we be confident that they always tell us the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Sadly, the answer is a resounding NO.
As I have pointed out many times on here, successive governments have deliberately deceived us, and they insist on telling us lies and engaging in cover-ups.
I repeat: from the very beginning the whole of the UK's membership of the EU is a catalogue of political lies and deceit – and the lies and deceit continue today.
The whole of the political claim that man-released carbon dioxide is killing the planet Earth is a pack of lies from beginning to end. I have seriously challenged my MP over the anti-CO2 nonsense; his only defence is to claim that a “consensus has been reached”. Whatever else my MP thinks he knows, he does not know that science is not proven by consensus, it is proven by evidence. And when evidence is provided that disproves the consensus the political class turn the other way and cover their ears and eyes – for example, check-out East Anglia University and the Climategate emails.
MPs and Government Ministers have demonstrated their untrustworthiness in “cash for questions” and the “expenses scandal” - and still reports appear of further false and unjustified claims for expenses by politicians.
Paedophilia is another area where the political class and the forces of law and order have given us many very serious reasons for us to distrust them. Why so many reports of the police having been called off investigations into cases of paedophilia by by MPs and high-ranking individuals? Why the delays and displays of incompetence by Government at getting a full and independent inquiry going into paedophilia and child abuse by the establishment?
Another big question that is crying out to be answered: Why have no bankers been prosecuted for corruption and now serving long prison sentences? Why do bankers and politicians only have to claim that their corrupt, deceitful and dishonest behaviour was a simple mistake that can be erased by a less than convincing apology – with such statements as “lessons have been learned”?
Question: Why do we continue to believe and trust proven liars?
