You think that no matter how long it burns are how high the temperature is, a fire will never cause a steel beam to loose its ability to do what it was put there to do? They sell physics books for people like you." Where did I say that? Of course fire can weaken steel. Do I believe it's reasonable to accept that the collapse of the 110-story South Tower, 56 minutes after the aircraft impact, was the result of heat-related floor truss perimeter column pulling"? And, that it's reasonable to accept the collapse even though the WTC floor fires were characterized as office cubicle contents fires, gradually spreading forward, cubicle by cubicle, each with only enough fuel for 20 minutes? And that the NIST, who determined that most of the insulation had to be removed so their computer model would give them the result they sought, judged that there was nothing incredible about testing foam removal by spraying it on plywood, and then blasting it with a shotgun. Can you explain how the fire was so widespread and intense that the intact supporting columns collapsed uniformly across the impact floor and in the time it takes to "snap your fingers!"?
