You still haven't actually addressed Ross' claim that the heat would have weakened the steel to the point it failed. Just said it didn't apply to the building. Explain how the heat would not have lowered the yield strength of the structural steel.

Two, that is not in any way a legitimate rebuttal to any of this.. 'it would have been too hard to plant explosives', okay.. I mean is that supposed to carry any weight?



Yes. You have a positive to prove, and the credulity of a certain situation can be called into question.

How's life in your little echo chamber? Holy frick.

Please find your spine, you can't be serious?

What did you not get about -- 'this isn't entirely relevant'. Clearly I'm aware that what hit those buildings were not the same as what hit the towers. It was really a non point in this debate.

Even if they could withstand the impact of an airplane I was saying that as an addition to structural weakness caused by the heat of combustion there were structures destroyed by the impact leading to failure. Thought that was evident.

I've said all I can say, if you have an issue with any of the rudimentary material science facts I've put out there feel free to reply and I'll respond when I get to a computer.

EDITED: I realized you were responding to a post about the planes and not about strength to temperature ratio of the structural steel. The size of the plane is certainly relevant in why the Twin Towers collapsed, but the Empire State Building did not. However, the largest reason was the huge difference in the structural systems of the two buildings (i.e. what holds up each building).

Him and his doublespeak again. This guy must be a treat at parties.

That was immediately what I thought, too.

Because it's a conversation, just saying planes hit skyscrapers and they didn't fall, I made it clear that it has no real relevance to this, which makes his response about 'apples and oranges' ultra odd.

It's just a little tidbit, kind of like the one about fire never once causing a steel high rise to collapse.

Do you know what doublespeak means?

Because there was nothing double speak about what I said.

So because it hadn't happened before, means its impossible?

So you wanted to make a point without actually making a point

If it's irrelevant, you don't try to sneak a point in, you greasy snake.

"It's irrelevant but alls I'm sayins is that planes hit buildings and they don't fall down...but it's not relevant to this conversation about buildings getting hit by planes and falling down."

That's stupid.

There is a straight forward engineering reason for this, and it's been addressed many times, and I bet you don't know it

How familiar are you with the design of the towers?

Any structural damage from impact was to the skeleton, not the spine of the building.

Have you examined the impact to confirm this?

Yes. And when you shoot a guy, there's only damage to the skeleton. Not the spine.

A plane ran almost through the building. I'm pretty sure there was damage to the head and shoulders, knees and toes.

The skeleton, but not the spine? Well why didn't you say so? Now it all makes sense.
