You know, I tried to explain this all with the first post of the phase diagram of steel, showing that steel begins to lose its elastic properties when 740 c is reached, well within the temperature of burning diesel and jet fuel, but I guess the jig is up.
I should not be telling you this, but it going to get out someday. I work for a secret government agency which prepositions demolition charges in urban buildings in just the right fashion to bring the buildings down in case a big enough aircraft ever hits it.
A good explanation it was.. But not all seems to add up..
Are these published accounts to be dismissed completely?
''There are several published observations of molten metal in the basements of all three buildings, WTC 1, 2 (“Twin Towers”) and 7. For example, Dr. Keith Eaton toured Ground Zero and stated in The Structural Engineer,
‘They showed us many fascinating slides’ [Eaton] continued, ‘ranging from molten metal which was still red hot weeks after the event, to 4-inch thick steel plates sheared and bent in the disaster’. (Structural Engineer, September 3, 2002, p. 6; emphasis added.)
The observation of molten metal at Ground Zero was emphasized publicly by Leslie Robertson, the structural engineer responsible for the design of the World Trade Center Towers, who reported that “As of 21 days after the attack, the fires were still burning and molten steel was still running.” (Williams, 2001, p. 3; emphasis added.)''
This is Leslie Robertson..
