Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Do you beleive that the government had anything to do with the attack of 9/11? Do you beleive in a conspiracy in terms of the attack of 9/11?
Rosie O'Donnell: No, but I do beleive that in the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do beleive that it defies physics for the World Trade Center Tower 7, Building 7 [570 feet tall, 47 stories, and not hit by an airplane], which collapsed in on itself ; it is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved. World Trade 1 and 2 got hit by planes. 7, miraculously, the first time in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically imossible.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck: And who do you think is responsible for that?
Rosie O'Donnell: I have no idea. But to say that we don't know; that it imploded, and it was an implosion and a demolition, is beyond ignorance. Look at the films. Get a physics expert here from Yale from Harvard. Pick the school. It defies reason.

Fire has never been the cause of a steel building collapse ever.

"Rosie O'Donnell: No, but I do beleive that in the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel..."
Thats where i stopped reading...

It sure does "defy reason." Her thinking "defies reason." It shouldn't surprise anyone, either, especially here. She's just the person to the anonymous postings saying the same thing on Y!As. Does it scare me? No. It just pisses me off almost every day, but yet I hate to miss it when they have a feud that ends up on the news. It scares me that I tend to agree with her on so much of a lot of other things. And, it can kind of help me be more assertive. I got a letter from a place trying to collect money that I didn't owe them not long after I finished yelling back at Rosie a few things that Elisabeth didn't have a chance to get out. I didn't put up with too much from that company when I called. I still can't understand what Barbara Walters was thinking, though, when she fired Star Jones to have Rosie. I'm not a big fan of Star's but she did help take the show to 10 years and she was a lot more diplomatic than Rosie will ever be. In fact, even Joy seems tame compared to Rosie. I miss Meredith!

She is a fool. A child knows that it is not necessary for steel to melt, or liquefy, to lose structural strength and collapse.
The way the buildings collapsed makes perfect sense if you know how they were designed. Unfortunately, there a lot of fools out there who think they are engineers.
To use a simple example of the foolish melted steel argument, if one has ever seen a blacksmith shape a horseshoe, when the metal is heated it is very soft and malleable and can be shaped, but it is not molten (a puddle of liquid).
Similarly when steel is exposed to fire, it can lose its structural strength and be rendered incapable of bearing its assigned load, without "melting". Further, many of the structural columns on both buildings were physically sheared by the initial impact, which further increased the weight load on the remaining columns, which gradually weakened due to the fire.
Finally, though Rosie is I suppose a liberal, there are many 9/11 conspiracists who can be classed as conservative. They are equally opportunity morons.
I am certainly not against further inquiry into why the 9/11 terrorist plot was not uncovered and stopped, but all of this "controlled demolition" stuff is fruitless and pointless.
And I am a liberal who despises Bush as much as anyone.
Check out the link below for an example of a petroleum fire which caused structural steel to fail WITHOUT MELTING IT!

Good IL' Rosie.
I believe when one has to resort to using anything Rosie says to help promote their theories, the theories are in deep trouble.
She made one ignorant statement after another - the show is popular because she's unpredictable. She's out of control and people tune in for the same reasons they gather at anything unusual.
Don't bother tuning the show in in hopes of having an unbiased physicist present as she requested - that won't happen.

Why would anyone's questions scare anyone else. They're questions, (in other words) WORDS.
If word and/or questions were to be something one should fear wouldn't people be running and hiding from the likes of Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh too?

No, Rosie's questions don't scare me as much as
Bush's questions do!
I have one question to ask of Bush of 9-11
Hey you ever finish "My Pet Goat"?
America is dying to know!
Whats with all the spelling mistakes in your question?

If a hot fire does not melt steel, how is it made? Get a clue, people.
When did Rosie become an engineer?

What scares me is the network lets her stay on television.
I do blacksmith work and steel melts easily in a coal fire. Jet fuel burns hotter than a coal fire. A pretty simple concept to understand. Well for most of us I guess.

No building like this has ever been struck by a JUMBO jet full of fuel before...
I refust to watch any station that has allowed Rosie to be aired unapposed.....or purchase anything from a sponsor of her program

From where did Rosie get her engineering degree?

No. Nothing about the woman scares me. Correction: I'd be scared to ride in an elevator with her.....those things are only rated for so much weight.
