That said, friggin awesome! But aren't you afraid its gonna catch flak by the reviewers for being too controversial?
Myself, I agree with the conspiracy theorists. They went down too fast in too much of an orderly fashion, not to mention the whole jet fuel thing is ridiculous.
Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:Well, Steve, back in my day, the phrase was, "The first one's free. The second's on me. After that, you're on your own."Paper burns at 451 degrees Farenheit. It takes around 1,400 degrees to soften structural steel. And the steel has to become thoroughly heated before it softens. That won't happen in ten or fifteen minutes with something which burns at a thousand degrees less than what the steel requires.
But remember the jet fuel fire wasn't the only thing that burned. There were uncounted tons of very flammable paper that fed the blaze.

(And that's just to soften steel . . . not to melt it.)

It's probably the same samples they used to prove that the area was rife with asbestos (and didn't tell anyone) at the time it happened, but I'm not sure. And I do hope people consider the fact that building 7 wasn't hit with a plane, it's fires were due to the tons of paper and other material Mike suggested earlier. Yet, it fell also, later that same day.

Quote:As for the people that don't know what thermite is, it's an extremely hot mixture used in building demolitions. It can burn through an engine block in seconds, powerfull stuff.It's also used in some kinds of welding -- like the joints in railroad track rails. It burns at an extremely high temperature.
