And why is it "truly unbelievable" that 250,000# planes going 440-540 mph would knock off SFRM that you could scrape off steel with your bare hands? It didn't have to be "virtually complete removal" to leave lightweight bar joists vulnerable to temperatures of 1100 F, and there is photographic documentation taken through windows by NYPD personnel in helicopters that some joists sagged at least 4' prior to collapse, and more irrefutable evidence of inward bowing of perimeter columns opposite the impact areas of more than 4'. Molten metal isn't molten steel, nor would either one of them or long-lasting fires in the debris be any indication of the use of incendiaries, which burn very hot for a brief period of time but also cool rapidly, and under conditions with no other fuel source would easily have been at ambient temperature within a day or two at the most. And those photos are of heavy basement-level columns, and since the collapses started at least 1000' higher, and the lowest levels were the last to go, what exactly do you think the purpose of this "thermite" was, and why on earth do you think ironworkers would have missed major steel members burned off by something besides their own acetylene torches? Again, were they "in on it," too, or just blind and stupid?" With enough funding, expertise, and planning, concealment where it was required, would not be as challenging as you seem to think. In NIST's final WTC7 Report, they claim the observed collapse required the failure of one column, #79. I never said the molten metal was molten steel, but when it exists for such a long period of time, and the so-called experts can't be bothered to explain it, or they dismiss it as unsupported, a thinking person has to ask why. Your "collapses started at least 1000' higher" is confusing when you fail to provide any useful context. We are primarily discussing WTC7 in this thread. My reference to the WTC Twin Towers was with respect to the ease that NIST suggested the spray on fireproofing must have been completely removed by aircraft impact, combined with a lot of assuming on their part. Others, who apply the stuff for a living, have posted here indicating how difficult it is to remove fully cured spray on fireproofing. Ceramics, which I was comparing this to, can be molded in any shape and pulverize easily when impacted by hard objects. The ironworkers, had no reason to examine the steel looking for alternatives to the Official Story. Given the existence of extreme collapse impact damage, molten metal, extreme heat, and long lasting fires, they wouldn't be expected to pay special notice to surviving steel ends that didn't already have the residue ground off of them. After the column failure was induced, the collapsing building would have easily destroyed much of the residue evidence. The "blind and stupid" are those like yourself, who fear the truth and wrap themselves in the protective cocoon which NIST has so conveniently provided. MM
