I’m not sure this video proves anything like a lot of you are hoping it does. From my understanding the buildings took the initial force of the hit from the airplanes (and that’s what this video is talking about), but it was the heat from the flames that weakened the steel structure enough for it to soften and collapse.

It didn't collapse. That's what it would have done from a fire at the top, the parts above the fire would have broken off and fell down. That's it.

It didn't collapse, the entire thing fell into its own footprint at freefall speed and dustified. Taking massive TITANIUM ENGINES with it.

Building 7. Learn.

Perhaps you should get a steel rod, hold one end of it in a fire for a while and then determine whether you want to admit the laws of thermodynamics or want to burn your hands.

Now, if you could show that the energy transfer coefficient would have been too low, then perhaps there is something to discuss, but your explanation is just too simplistic.

More simplistic than 100 stories of concrete and steel falling into its own footprint at freefall speed with zero resistance? Zero resistance with 90 stories of concrete and steel in the way? No other building in the history of the world has done this from fire.

Was there a guy in building 7 holding a rod to prove your point when that building fell into its own footprint at free fall speed with NO FiRE. Since this magic fire is so strong, it must have weakened the steel beams in a completely different building too. Man that's one strong fire.

The properties of the materials used in a building are determined at normal operating temperatures, so not in fire conditions. As such, no structural properties can be derived and as such there is no guarantee the structure will continue to exist. If you can show the math that this particular building should not have collapsed (and just so you know, I could give you the math for the opposite position), then there is something to discuss, but we all know that you are just a troll sitting in a troll factory, right?

You are one hundred percent wrong blobby.

This is over. When you don't touch on what the other person says, you show your ass, and the big boys don't expend energy.

You're so called intelligence is really contradicted by you thinking I'm a troll in a troll factory. Any person above a monkey in a box would tell you that's ridiculous. It shows you have zero comprehension.

You're a fucking dolt. Act accordingly fatass.

If you'd like to get back to the big boy table, go ahead and touch on if there was guy in building 7 holding a steel rod proving that it was possible for that entire 47 story building to fall into it's own footprint at freefall speed with NO FIRE.

Otherwise, shut the fuck up and smash some more carbs lardass.

If you wouldn't speak English as if you are from the hood, perhaps this would have received more attention from me.

That aint hood nigga. This is hood muh fucka.

That's a cute way of saying you don't have anything to say. Get back in the sandbox diaper boy.
