Since Aluminum melts at 1200 degrees, what's the issue here? hack89 Oct 2014 #1
Al melts but doesn't glow bright orange when heated less than 1800 degrees F! wildbilln864 Oct 2014 #2
So molten steel is common at fires? hack89 Oct 2014 #3
" So molten steel is common at fires?" wildbilln864 Oct 2014 #4
So they slathered entire columns with thermite to melt them hack89 Oct 2014 #5
for your education: wildbilln864 Oct 2014 #6
You prove my point hack89 Oct 2014 #7
nonsense! wildbilln864 Oct 2014 #8
So what was heating the steel so long after the collapse? hack89 Oct 2014 #9
Thermite can burn for months gyroscope Nov 2014 #14
Steel beams will not act like fuel for thermate hack89 Nov 2014 #15
Huh? gyroscope Nov 2014 #16
What about super duper Theramateite??? zappaman Nov 2014 #17
Why would there be unburnt thermite in the rubble pile? hack89 Nov 2014 #18
Thermate is a hypothetical substance? gyroscope Nov 2014 #19
Your links undercut your argument of large amounts of unburnt thermate in the rubble pile hack89 Nov 2014 #20
"Unburned thermate" gyroscope Nov 2014 #21
You said there was unburnt thermite in the rubble pile, not Jones hack89 Nov 2014 #22
Nonsense gyroscope Nov 2014 #23
But the thermite would not have melted the steel beams hack89 Nov 2014 #24
Thermite cuts by melting gyroscope Nov 2014 #26
But it only melts a very small portion of the steel hack89 Nov 2014 #27
Doesn't matter if the thermate was expended gyroscope Nov 2014 #28
There was not enough molten steel to form pools hack89 Nov 2014 #29
Wrong again gyroscope Nov 2014 #32
They covered the vertical columns with tons of thermate and miles of det cord completely undetected? hack89 Nov 2014 #33
Det cord? lol gyroscope Nov 2014 #35
So you of course can show where large building demolitions are routinely done with wireless? hack89 Nov 2014 #37
Not going to address the tons of thermate? Don't blame you. hack89 Nov 2014 #38
Citibank Tower NYC - 1978 nationalize the fed Nov 2014 #41

Except Stratsec was excused from the project in 1998 for non-performance hack89 Nov 2014 #55
Not according to CEO Barry McDaniel nationalize the fed Nov 2014 #57
Their financial report to the SEC says the project ended in 1998 hack89 Nov 2014 #58
Dozens of contracted maintenance crews gyroscope Nov 2014 #42
So how long did it take to smuggle in and install tons of thermate and wire it up? hack89 Nov 2014 #45
As long it takes gyroscope Nov 2014 #47
5 years in complete secrecy hack89 Nov 2014 #49
Bush took office January 2001 gyroscope Nov 2014 #50
Statsec was removed from the WTC project in 1998 for non-performance. Nt hack89 Nov 2014 #56

Do you agree the fires were hot enough to melt aluminum? nt hack89 Nov 2014 #25
But molten aluminum gyroscope Nov 2014 #30
How did it keep separate from all that molten steel? Wouldn't it mix? hack89 Nov 2014 #31
Gibberish gyroscope Nov 2014 #34
Lets start with "2,000 degrees that raged for a hundred days" hack89 Nov 2014 #36
Jesus Christ gyroscope Nov 2014 #40
So now the aluminum didn't cool it evaporated? hack89 Nov 2014 #43
Congrats, you live up to your name gyroscope Nov 2014 #46
So how do you distinguish the two hack89 Nov 2014 #48
Lord have mercy gyroscope Nov 2014 #51
You are the one that believes that steel beams burn like logs hack89 Nov 2014 #53
That's not what I said gyroscope Nov 2014 #62
But a very poor analogy hack89 Nov 2014 #65
Absurd gyroscope Nov 2014 #68
There was no molten pool to fall into hack89 Nov 2014 #69
What do you think happened to all the thermate after the collapse? gyroscope Nov 2014 #70
The thermate was gone in seconds hack89 Nov 2014 #73
Regardless gyroscope Nov 2014 #75
There was not enough molten steel to produce pools hack89 Nov 2014 #77
Wrong on all counts. nt gyroscope Nov 2014 #80
So cutting the columns would not collapse the building? hack89 Nov 2014 #81
That's not what I said gyroscope Nov 2014 #82
There were only forty or so core columns hack89 Nov 2014 #83
It's been explained several times gyroscope Nov 2014 #85
ok zappaman Nov 2014 #86
So if all the core columns are cut the WTC would not collapse? hack89 Nov 2014 #87
Do you agree that the WTC collapse obviously looked like CD? nt hack89 Nov 2014 #84
No doubt about that! gyroscope Nov 2014 #89
Which means the columns did not have to be melted, just cut. hack89 Nov 2014 #91
So why didn't they use high explosives? hack89 Nov 2014 #92
"emersed"? zappaman Nov 2014 #54
The spelling Nazi strikes again gyroscope Nov 2014 #63
says the guy who said zappaman Nov 2014 #67
The thread is mainly about the science of 9/11 gyroscope Nov 2014 #71
So why haven't you presented any science? zappaman Nov 2014 #72
Why haven't you? gyroscope Nov 2014 #74
Cuz I like to sit back and watch you get your ass handed to you. zappaman Nov 2014 #76

Having posted a mechanism to melt steel after the collapse without thermite hack89 Nov 2014 #59
1000 C means no melted steel. You proved no melted steel on 911 - you are a debunker superbeachnut Nov 2014 #60
