These are structural steel buildings, mind you. Structural steel requires constant heat of 3000 deg. F to melt. Open air fires(such as the ones in the towers) cannot approach the heat neccessary to melt the treated strucutural steel used to build the towers. www.loosechange911.com

Of course I meant World TRADE Center(for the people out there that just had to point that out). By the way, I'm not saying I know what happened that day. I'm just saying there are a lot of unanswered questions that we SHOULD have answers to. If you believe the "official story" RESEARCH it on your own. If you don't believe it, RESEARCH it on your own. ASK questions. DEMAND answers. That's what America is all about.

The towers were already weakend by termite infestation.
Did 9/11 really happen? Or was it an illusion?

If you would watch some of the documentaries out there about the World Trade Center....there was one that was on 9/10 about the day in the life of a firefighter and the film crew just happened to be with a NY Fire Engine company when they went into the World Trade Center and it collapsed on them. Anyway, during the footage he ran into the engine of the plane on the sidewalk, was a huge piece of machinery. My aunt and uncle are big conspiracy theorists on 9/11 as well and hopefully if they saw that documentary that will prove to them that a plane flew into the buildings.

Yes it takes almost 3000 to melt steel, but 1700 degrees will soften it considerably. You take that factor and put it with the weight of the concrete floors and the damage to the structure and gravity and viola! down you go.
Bldg 7 damage was caused by explosions causing a 20 story gaping hole and then fire finished it off. At least that is what the eye witnesses said.

The steel didn't have to melt, just soften. It doesn't take much heat to do this. You seem to have forgotten that jumbo jets slammed into these structures at 500mph. That does a lot of damage. Couple that with the fire, and the design of the buildings, and you get a collapse.

The buildings melted? I'm sorry, I thought they collapsed when their structural integrity was compromised. That pool of molten goo sure looked like bits of broken building, but then again I guess the government controlled media can photoshop anything.
Why is it that when these guys demand objective research, it always translates as "Why don't you believe what I believe?"
When will they turn some of that scrutiny on their own kind and realize that these accusations were debunked point-by-point YEARS ago?

A lot of the problems that caused the fall of tower seven was poor construction methods
it was never designed to withstand this kind of abuse
as for the twin towers themselves
They were originally designed to be 80 floors
they were at the 70th floor when it was decided to take it on up
The change in design without additional support was a major reason they fell!

Structural steel does not need to melt for a building to collapse. It simply needs to lose its strength. Structural steel maintains 100% of its strength at 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
At 750 degrees F it loses 14% of its strength.
At 930 degrees F it loses 51% of its strength.
At 1100 degrees F it loses 72% of its strength.
At 1300 degrees F it loses 100% of its strength.

Don't know of any World TRAIN Center, but if you're talking about the propaganda spewed in that lame "Loose Change" video - a video some anonymous person made with his Adobe Premiere software because he had too much spare time - then please do your PHYSICS homework.
Gotta love the sheep mentality. "If it's on the internet, it MUST be true!" Jesus.

ROFLMAO! If you're too stupid to know that it is the "World Trade Center" and not the "World Train Center", then you are obviously too stupid to understand basic physics.
Either grow up, or go back to school. Come back when you are intelligent and educated enough to have a rational conversation.

a huge airplane slamming into a tall skinny building hmmmm, how would it fall. no matter how much steel you have in it, it's gonna break some of the supports.adding that much weight puts alot of strees on the supports
