| Why is the burning of thousands of tonnes of jet fuel a 'local fire'? and then you know perfectly well from pictures you have posted that the aluminium fuselage of a plane will be ignited by the fuel and THAT burns even more fiercely than the fuel. Recently I visited Eastbourne and saw the remains of the pier which had suffered a fire earlier this year. The supporting structure of the roof consists of very large steel ibeams holding light zinc roof panels - and the fire was simply a few arcade machines and the wooden floor of the pier. Yet you can see that these steel beams have twisted and sagged in the heat as if they were acted upon by enormous forces. Its easy to see how any kind of heavier structure would have collapsed completely - just as a result of a fire. You don't have any concept of how fires can affect a steel building and when people try to show you you dismiss it out of hand. And then you try to compare skyscrapers with reinforced concrete core structures with the much rarer all steel structure used in the twin towers. |
