9/11 and the melting metal theory

Conspiracy theories have said that it is impossible for the jet fuel that burned in the towers to cause the metal supports to become super heated enough to collapse underneath the tons of metal and concrete above it.

Recently a gas truck (not get fuel which burns hotter) turned over and cause fire. The fuel burned so hot the metal supports melted and the bridge collapsed.

If that can happen with a simply overpass why can't it happen with a building that has jet fuel burning and tons and tons and tons of weight on top of it, not to mention the other flammable materials burning away in the towers

The elevated section of highway that carries motorists from the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge to a number of freeways was destroyed early Sunday when the heat of a burning gasoline tanker truck weakened part of one overpass, crumpling it onto another.

I think that Aluminum Foil on your head is causing something else to be slowly melting...

Great Thread Prax!

As an apprentice burner and a journeyman welder working in shipyards in my younger days, I can testify with certainty that 2600 degrees can, given a very little time, indeed buckle very heavy guage steel to cause it to fold and crumble.

Prax, good thread. I thought the same thing when I saw where that tanker truck explosion had collapsed that freeway overpass.

Conspiracy theorists, for the most part, are idiots. They ignore common sense to their own peril.

I saw a clip they use on websites to try and say that a cruise missle or some other missle hit the pentagon and not an airplane. It is an interview with an eyewitness who says something like "It looked like a cruise missle flying into the building". The conspiracy nuts end the clip at that point which takes that statement out of context because I saw the unedited clip in which he says right after that statement something like "except it had wings, it was a jetliner"

Yes, same thing Michael Moore did. It's called a polemic. People can distort the facts or just not show ALL the facts to make a situation seem the way they want it to seem
