When it comes to the molten metal, has anyone factored in the crazy amount of potential energy turned into kinetic energy turned into heat when the whole motherfucker fell down in their official explanation?
i cbf to look up stupid conspiracy debunkings right now as I am very tired, but I know that I have snapped wire coat hangers in half by bending them over and over until they snapped, and the friction of them bending before they snapped ended up with them being very hot on the spot that was going all bendy. It stands to reason that an entire buckling 110 story structure that's on fire might end up pulling off a more extreme version of this sort of thing in some spots, which would only exacerbate the very nasty heat already going on.
its only falling from a 1,368 ft point, how could it create eough heat in the first place to melt something so huge.
you make it sound like the core columns didnt even exist
How can you honestly compair a coat hanger, which is in a sense junk metal to 2% crabon steel?
what you did is a constant bending, even titanium would break if bent back and forth non stop.
friction would make things hot i understand that well, but not to the point of melting it,
not from that height anyways, maybe if it was makeing re entry into our atmoshere.
this also ignored the whole concept of tensile strength of that metal, and doesnt explain how pools of molten metal stayed hot for days.

Yeah. That definately qualifies you to make speculations on structural engineering.

the fact i know what kind of heat needs to be applied to the metals in question in order to melt it.
the bigger the piece the more heat needed to melt it, and lets not forget thermal conductivity,
the heat would be transfered to other areas of the metal.
with that in mind how can a fuel fire do this?
