The ASTM E119 grade steel used in the WTC construction could've withstood the fire for a lot longer than it did.
The letter explaining why
Annotations also explaining why it couldn't have failed
Jet Fuel burns at 1500°C, and basic Iron-Carbon steel reaches it's eutectic state at about 1200°C, as defined in this Phase Diagram, and also dictated here. The structural support steel is a lot stronger than basic Iron-Carbon steel, so eutectic phase change at 1500°C wouldn't have been very significant when compared to a melting point that's was 1000° higher than the constant temperature.
For what it's worth, here's a technical paper outlining a test of the very same steel construct exposed to high temperatures
I found - "Jet fuel burns at 800° to 1500°F..." on the Internet.
Sorry wannabe, that was my fault. The 1500°C came from the annotation link, and I accidentally misread that as they were discussing the burning of Jet Fuel in a pure oxygen environment.
Jet Fuel indeed does burn between 400°C and 800°C (800°F and 1500°F respectively). Guess I just got caught up in the heat of the moment.
Still not enough to severely weaken the steel.

horseman this here proves the towers wouldnt have come down with out carefully placed exploisives to the underground supports to bring this building down. No plane or jet fuel caused the collapse. and you prove it with this statement i bolded it for you.. 2 "random airliners" arent goin to hit just the perfect area to bring these buildings down, its not possible. And remember im an explosives expert. From stage effects, to fireworks, to demo. all 3 building WERE broght down by DEMO. that shit you can see with your own eyes. If those buildings would have fallen from the "weight" it woulda taken 110secs or more. they took 8.4 secs FREE FALL SPEED. How do you bring a building down at FREE FALL SPEED on TOP OF IT SELF????? WITH EXPLOSIVES you have to remove all supports for that debris to fall at FREE FALL. Yes they talked about this in the vid, they also said they talked to demo experts. No i personally have blown up lots of things. an to say that a fire from fuel or that BULLSHIT. is all bullshit. Watch the crashes OVER AN OVER AGAIN. 90+% of the jet fuel GOES IN TO FLAMES OUTSIDE THE TOWERS. SO THOSE OF YOU THAT BELIEVE TERRORIST STILL DID IT..

If the collapse of the buildings was caused by explosives, they would have started collapsing from the point where the explosives were set off. This did not happen at the WTC, as you can look at any of the thousands of tapes of the collapse and clearly see the buildings start to collpase from the point where the planes impacted each. I really don't see what other proof you need. It's really common sense.dankassasin42o wrote:

Hi!
I have a question. Why are we arguing about if the towers collapsed from the planes or some explosives?
Shouldn't this thread be about if it all was done by terrorists or by the us government? I mean, if all this has been done by terrorists, and we assume that the towers collapsed from explosives, why didn't the terrorists make them collapse only by using explosives. Do you get what i mean? Or the other way around, if all was done by the government why didn't they only use explosives? If the intended to frighten the people, perhaps its more effective when they crash planes into the buildings?
Lets get back to that if it was done by the us or terrorists and so on and why and what and...
I mean that its really not important if they collapsed from the planes or not. The intrestng question is who and why it was done. And if there were explosives that made the buildings collapse, why they still used planes.

I just finished watching the whole thing, and I'm shocked. I'd already heard the conspiracy theory on the pentagon from a fellow student of mine, but the rest was new knowledge. Who new the Bush Administration was a bigger bunch of terrorist than al-Queda.
This alone puts all of the conspiracy bullcrap aside . People who join the CIA join because they love their country . It would take many , many , many CIA operatives to fill the building with C4 and blow up the buildings . First off there is no way in hell they could have pulled it off in 36 hours when they had that "clearing of the building " . Second where the fuck are you going to find 30-40 people who joined the CIA to protect the country backstab his fellow Americans and blow them up in the " interest of National Security " ??? Last but not least - how are you going to cover it up ? 24 anyone ?
You obviously never watched the video(s) then because it explains all that in there. Same with a lot of other peoples questions who don't agree with the conspiracy.jonnykill wrote:

My advice...watch the vids, especially the lecturer one because it is full of FACTS! and not opinions!
Watch the collapes in slow motion, the explosions start on the floors of the fire (where the planes hit) the explosions then race down the building. and for the demo, yes u can start from the top to the bottom, doesnt have to start at the bottom to the top. a building hit by something would topple over. no come down on themselves. only a controlled demolision of the buildings would bring it straight down on top of it self=DBD=TITAN126 wrote:

Am I wrong in assuming that your saying the demos where already in place prior to the attack? hmm might have been. Who knows, maybe they where put there from the failed 90s attack. Just to make sure if falls the saftest way.
One other question..what does it matter if the plane brought the tower down or the demos. The fact is that IT DID fall straight down and did not topple. With that we're all lucky.

You're right. A building hit by something would topple over. However, the cause of the WTC collapse was not the impact of the planes. It was the fires that burned throughout the buildings for around an hour. Any steel structure will collapse when it is exposed to fire, especially when it is still trying to hold up thousands of tons of a building. The steel does not have to melt in order for the building to collapse. The only thing that has to happen is a slight weakening of the steel.

Whether there's any complete and wholesome truth behind that video or not, I'm not sure. All the evidence (except a couple cheesy things here and there) and scenes in the video pointed to it, but it's still just a video that someone with obviously one-sided views made.
If there's any truth to it, then that's extremely disturbing... On the other hand it was definately a must-watch - at least it made you think.

Jesus Christams what did I start here ? Guys it's a joke . ALL conspiracy theorys are BS . Everything to UFO'S and Roswell , Kennedy Assasination , NOT going to the moon and now 9/11 . Why do they do this ? Why are there so many conspiracies ? It's all about the all'mighty dollar guys WTF ! T-shirts , stickers , mugs , toys , books , movies , sofwear , chat rooms with banners for ANY product ...................... it's all about money .
Millions and millions are made each year buy your utter stupidity . Kind of like church and Jimmy Bakker .
With both sides of the argument here just look at it this way . Do you honestly believe that in the 36 hours the CIA supposedly emptied out the WTC and planted bombs to kill thousands of other Americans ? . Yes ? How about thousands of people from just about every part of the world risking WW3 all in one day ? Yes STILL ? Come one people please . Any side of the story can be laid out to make you believe what the creater wants if he's good enough . All of this is bullshit . Like I said before I just happened to stumble across this rediculous thread and happened to see what all the fuss was about and watch the moive . I'll say this though - these guys have talent . But don't spend a second on thinking about it - it's alllllllll bullshit .
One last tid bit for ya to chew on . People who join the CIA and FBI are volluteers . Do you honestly think Bush can order OR find 200 - 300 volluteers who are in the FBI or the CIA who are willing to accept the task of killing thousands of fellow Americans destroying one of the worlds tallest buildings filled with thousands of other civillians from all over the world risking global war for the " interest of national security " ? Because 200 -300 people or more would be needed to rig the world trade center in the 36 hours they supposedly did it in . Hell perhaps even more .
Do you honestly think there are 300 CIA operatives willing to kill Americans at all - please - pull your head out of your asses and go to bed . And yes , i know the video is free . Makes no difference .
JK

Fuel Capacity of Boeing 767: 23,980 US Pounds, Fully Loaded
Maximum Speed of B-25: 275 mph
Maximum Speed of 767: 530 mph
Wing Span of B-25: 67 feet, 6.7 inches
Wing Span of 767: 156 feet, 1 inch
Now, let's look at the figures I have provided above. I assumed that both planes were still fully loaded, even though we know that they were in the middle of their flights when they crashed. The data shows that the 767 could carry 35 times more fuel than the B-25. Also, assuming they were both flying at top speed when they crashed, the 767 was flying 2 times faster than the B-25. Also, the wing span of the 767 was 2.5 times bigger than the B-25.
So, if the 767 could carry 35 times more fuel, was flying 2 times faster, and was 2.5 times bigger, would you expect it to do a hell of a lot more damage than a B-25? Yes. This was exactly what happened at the World Trade Center.
Q.E.D.
