Ill have son light up a mag wheel tomorrow and I see how close it has to be to damage the steel . Ill melt some aluminium also . I don't haveany I beam large enough to test that . But I got some nice 3/4 high quality flat stock . I see if I can fuss the 2 let ya know howit goes . god I hate burning that shit . But colors are cool as all shit

You don't have to produce a link. Just tell me they exist and I'll try to find them myself
Anyone who tells you any of that exists would be sending you on a wild goose chase. Again, the official story stands in contradiction to the laws of physics in regard to all three buildings. While I'd prefer to keep this thread on the topic of WTC7, since no one seems to want to come to terms with that, here is a video pointing out one of the obvious contradictions to the official story in regard to the towers.

For what it's worth...

The pools of molten stuff and the continued hot spots...

Any metal fire will be exacerbated by the presence of water. It rained for days after the collapse and NY's Finest poured water on the metal fires to put them out, I guess.. days and days they poured water down there... It rained alot in those day until it went out in end Dec '01..

"Fire is a very uncontrolled process. Nonetheless, it requires 4
factors: FUEL, OXIDANT, HEAT, IGNITION SOURCE. So "how" a fire
behaves depends upon the characteristics of these 4 factors, and how
they interact with one another. With regard to your question:
If the fuel is a burning metal, the addition of water will
almost certainly aggravate the fire because most hot metals react
with water, frequently liberating hydrogen gas which would explode.
So adding water to any fire in which the FUEL reacts with water
will increase the severity of the fire. Neither water nor CO2
should be used against a metal fire -- both serve as further fuel
and/or oxidant for the metal fire.
If the fuel is hot enough it is possible that the water would
turn to steam before it ever reaches the origin of the ignition.
This hot steam would rise causing turbulence, drawing in more air
(OXIDANT) from the bottom, making the fire worse. A related effect
is if the water hits the burning surface, then turns to steam,
expands, and exposes more fuel to the air. Here, too, the water
could make the fire worse by exposing more fuel to the other
components of the fire.
Yet another way that water can make a fire worse is if the fire
is the surface of a burning liquid that is less dense than water.
Here, even if the fire is not so hot, the water can sink beneath
the surface of the less dense flammable liquid. The water then
starts to heat rapidly, but is covered by the burning liquid. If
the conditions are right the steam formed beneath the surface of
the burning fuel will "burp", explosively spreading the burning liquid.
You can see that "fire" is not a simple process, and "pouring
gasoline on a fire" is not the only way to make it worse."

Sure, that's why steel foundries don't bother with blast furnaces and other fancy methods, but rather just use office furnishing level accelerants and watter instead. That's also why we don't put sprinkler systems in steel frame buildings, because to use them to try to stop a fire would just make the buildings melt. Eh?

Well, a blast furnace injects air or air and added oxy to increase the temp.

Generally in a metal bldg you won't have the metal on fire so the water acts to cool em down and cool down the temprature of the other burning stuff... You don't often have magnesium or like stuff burning but IF you do wa wa ain't the thing to use.
IF you think water will put out a magnesium fire... heheheheheh well... I'd not be too close with the hose.

I watched the video link you gave me... That is interesting how the pulverize concrete billowed up like that. IF it was like a situation where that building created its own atmosphere and winds I might could account for that... To go up and out would require trajectory like the cannon ball in the video... not sure a cutter charge would be - but could be - up at a oh... 45 degree angle...
I was really hoping I'd see the coyote... but alas... beep beep.... zoom

I'm sure the INTERNET has already captured that stuff... actually I saw a demo of a horizontal burn on a steel rod looked to be about 2"... burned it right in half in no time at all.. they used Thermate or mite or some Thermate stuff...

Regarding the Mag wheel... I've seen that done already... A demo given to us in case we ever got hit with a hot rod in the Mekong Delta area... now up North I did see some hot rods but not in the way South... Actually, it was a demo after Forestal in '67 almost sunk (you remember Sen McCain) it was his A4 that was hit by the Zuni missle... they said it could have been the one next to his.. it hit his fuel tank.. shot from a Phantom F4. All hell broke loose and among stuff that burned... right, Magnesium... burned right on through to the hanger bay and burned vertically through the blast door that separated the hanger bay area... I didn't see it but read the damage report. I can't tell you too much about a blast door other than it is about 5" thick... and 40' or so high... but it destroyed it almost to the bottom of it.. like Darth Vader's light saber was at work.

I'd opine that it is alot like welding to fuse stuff.. tricky bit is the aluminum.. and magnesium melt at about the same temp... ~ 600 or so and to get the steel and magnesium to fuse they need being in contact after the steel is over what... 1500c? So... something heated the steel to melting point and then the magnesium married to it... IF IT DID...

It's not interesting at all. The debris cloud formed during the TU Delft architecture building's partial collapse also billows. Here's another view.

The same happens during this explosiveless controlled demolition. And this one. The dust cloud during any building collapse will billow outward and upward.

Note also that the TU Delft collapse plainly contradicts the video's assertion that "in a natural collapse, debris should fall close to the side of the building." As the collapse progresses, debris is ejected with increasing horizontal force and progressively lands further from the building. Before the view is completely obscured, several large bits of rubble can be seen reaching the edge of that lower roof.

It's interesting that you are incapable of acknowledging the vast difference between billowing dust and ejecting rubble.

More interesting is that he doesn't even understand his own video. The video repeatedly refers to the "dust cloud" and "smoke", claiming that in a "natural collapse" there would be no cloud.

Yet as we can see in every building collapse ever, there is always a cloud, it's always ejected at a high speed and moves a good distance from the building, and it always billows, typically in a "cannon ball trajectory" curve.

Examine all 3 of the major buildings that collapsed... All the evidence!

You got to be on fucking drugs to pretend the WTC1 and 2 event is similar to firing a canon. Especially when in your movie they superpose their canon ball trajectory onto the cloud of dust half way trough the building collapse.

This is just like your "math".

You people are retarded.


Oh how you like to use this mantra:

"the official story stands in contradiction to the laws of physics"

As if repeating it enough times is going to make it true.

That video is so whacked out. Upward exploding debris? That guy isn't even watching the same video. There's no "upward explosion" that debris is there from the building that JUST collapsed downward. It's dust, left hanging in the air. If it were an explosion, we'd see debris being forcibly ejected upward. It isn't. It hangs there as the tower collapses.

2:23 immediately shows how ridiculous this video is.

That's it, take back everything you ever claimed to have known about physics. You have just proven what a complete moron you are with this video.

You remember that free fall issue you where talking about earlier? and air friction? Yeah, guess what, smaller debris falls slower then large debris because of air friction.

Rather, he narrator says the cloud wouldn't have the arch it does in a gravity driven collapse, and he also says "dust cloud" and "smoke" less than "debris". Granted, what terms he uses does nothing to change the fact that the videos quite clearly show ejecting rubble, as does the massive chunks of it which was embedded into the sides buildings hundreds of yards away.

Am I to take it you are mindlessly guessing this fact is responsible for the debris clouds having a tighter arch than a canon ball fired from a horizontal?

A non answer answer is usually ok.. if you want. I'm interested in what you think about the effort of some folks like the ex head of that NIST thingi who said he wants an investigation. There are many non Federation folks wanting that..
As to the Ferengi, The Grand Negus has decreed that the profit motive always includes consideration for the risk. The beta in this case requires a yield far beyond the usury law of the Federation, as I understand it..

Great post . Good laugh. Ya no I was going to get that video of the ufo . But I just don't care about this . I believe what I believe and that it . What you believe you believe . Thats life . One of us is in for hugh surprise the trurthers or the sheepo . Matters not to me . I already KNOW the truethers are more correct than the sheepo. But facts are still missing . Until than its just debating a dead horse.

No... I found it interesting! The fact that bits of heavy steel 'debris' was found lodged in the sides of buildings.. I think measured to be 600' away indicates some force propelled that debris to that location. WTC 7 had some in it too as NIST indicates some 340' away. So to me if the force to do that is considered an 'energy sink' to the momentum that would be important to me.
The smaller the particulate the more air friction would affect its gravitational propensity to fall right on down... Dust was found all over the place... just like ash from a forest fire would be expected to be carried miles away.
Heat causes air to rise... anyone who thinks pulverizing concrete does not cause heat is mistaken, I think. That heat transfers to all about it... air as well.
I did see about a 45 degree arc of 'debris' and have a few ways to get there.
Yes, I have looked at the videos many times looking for what is not obvious and seen stuff that is interesting. I have seen where some chunks went etc...
I also found in that video what looked like a core section near the end of the fall sorta vanish heheheh but I know stuff don't vanish so wonder about a few things... It didn't seem to topple over and didn't seem to go right on down... so my first question needing answered is the video itself... But, as usual that is another story.

Well, by that statement I'd normally infer that you do not accept that rubble of say > 10 lbs as apposed to dust (pulverized to dust building stuff) was created and forced to transit beyond a gravitational only trajectory and find itself embedded in the surrounding structures and streets. But, knowing you agree with NIST and NIST said it happened to lots of buildings like and including WTC 7, I'll assume your comment is more directed to what you see as dust only and can distinguish between dust and rubble in the video.

When you view a video of this 9/11 tragedy do you look only for what you want to see, expect to see or do you let the video allow you to see what ever it depicts? I look at the videos with out a purpose in mind. I simply let what my eyes see and transfer that to my mind. Since my conscious and subconsious are impacted by what I see, I simply let what is go in and allow my process to determine stuff of interest.. I have to view stuff many times to do this but I always find interest in most stuff I see.
