Is it all caps day or something?

Anyway, how is the temperature at which the steel melts relevant?  You can weaken it substantially at lower temperatures.

Do you therefore believe the most complex and spectacular terrorist act in history was just an insurance scam?  Depending on what theory you subscribe to, I'm not confident the guy would actually end up making money.  If the scheme involved (nearly) real-time CGI and the cooperation of television stations, or maybe even star wars beams as Dr Judy Wood believes, I'm not sure $2 billion would go very far.

IM JUST CURIOUS AS TO HOW MANY WELL RESPECTED CIVIL ENGINEERS ,INCLUDING THE ARCHITECT THAT DESIGNED THE TOWERS, HAVE TO PUT THEIR CAREERS ON THE LINE TO MAKE THE POINT THAT JET A (FUEL THAT TURNS BIG TURBINE ENGINES) WILL NOT BURN AND MELT STEEL COLUMNS AND GIRDERS LIKE THOSE IN THE TOWERS.

Please, don't cite everything written in PM as truth or we'd all be riding around in 200 MPG cars or flying in hovercraft by now.

That rag has gone seriously downhill in the last 30 or so years. Also a "Hearst" publication, the folks who invented "yellow journalism"
