How come the massive fire in the high rise in Houston didn't pulverize the building to dust?

Answer 1

you know, i was watching that on tv in houston last night, and i was wondering the same thing!

i thought, well, building 7 in the world trade center fell from fire, so this building going to fall and turn into rubble! better get those fire men and people out of there! ....but of course it DIDN'T FALL, because its a STEEL BUILDING, AND STEEL BUILDINGS DON'T FALL FROM FIRE!!!!!


HEY - PEOPLE - --- HE IS ALLUDING TO WTC BUILDING 7 ---- WHICH WAS NOT HIT BY A PLANE!!! you people didn't even know about that - and yet you still deny the possibility of government involvement in 9/11??? why do you think so many people are saying this?? DAMN! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!

building 7 did not have large pieces of steel falling on it. building 7 was not right next to the twin towers, it was over 300 feet away from the twin towers. thats A FOOTBALL FIELD AWAY, AND THE TOWERS FELL IN ON THEMSELVES, that is the definition of a "pancake" right? and if stuff was flying that far away, what forced was imposed on the debris to fly over 300 feet, if it was not from explosives????????????
and why was there a huge dust cloud coming from the scene of the collapse? these pyroclastic flows are only seen in EXPLOSIONS, like when a volcano erupts. it's OBVIOUS to any one with two brain cells that those bu9ildings were demolished by explosives.


to the guy above me, no he was alluding to WTC BUILDING 7 - the building that collapsed even though it was NOT HIT BY ANY AIRPLANE, and by the way, all of the jet fuel burned up instantly when the planes hit the twin towers.

and jet fuel is similar to kerosene, it is not like it is rocket fuel or anything... look it up. fires fueled by jet fuel get no hotter than the fires in kerosene lamps. but this is beside the point.

Larry "pull it" Silverstein didn't own this building in Houston, so i guess thats why it didn't fall.


Added comment:

Kelly P - did you know that the fires in the twin towers were almost out when the towers fell, according to the firefighters in the towers? did you know that most of the jet fuel burned up instantly in the fireball on impact? did you realize that building 7 wasn't even hit by a plane? did you realize that the building wasn't even on fire after the towers fell, that it stated up later that day? are you aware that the fires in building 7 were minor and sparse, but the building fell perfectly evenly into its own footprint? there are a lot of facts that you didn't learn aren't there?

Answer 2

was the high rise fire ignited and fueled by jet fuel...I am just going to take a guess, since I know nothing about this Houston fire, that it wasn't....Did you know that fire can burn at different temperatures depending and what accelerent is used....that is how fire investigators can determine what was used to set a fire and explain why certain things burn at the rate in which it did and how one fire can complete demolish the interior of a high rise and damage the structure while a different fire can melt steel and completely demolish a different high rise...

Because you need to plant explosives to pulverize concrete and contents of a building and then place thermite or thermate to cut the steel reinforced structure. Otherwise the steel structure will stay in place. It helps if you fly planes into the building or have other distractions.

If you want it to collapse into its footprint, you need to do careful planning of placement and timing of explosions, otherwise it will topple sideways. If you want it to fall at free fall speed, you must first cut the steel reenforcement ahead of the collapse. It helps if you have planned ahead and arranged for hefty insurance pay-back so that you can "re-build." You can make many millions. You can help out friends if you place all the evidence you have about corporate fraud (like Enron) in one of the buildings before you pulverize it

Of course, you need to lie to the demolition crew by saying the building will be evacuated first. Afterward, don't forget to ship off most of what's left of the steel reenforcement. Otherwise, forensics will reveal the crime.

Answer 4

Because it didn't happen on 9-11, totally different type of steel frame, enclosed instead of outside the building, it wasn't hit by a plane going 500mph loaded with jet fuel, the fire department was able to get water on it from ground level . Dude

Answer 5

Because, Skippy, it wasn't hit with a jumbo jet, fueled to the brim with jet fuel for a cross country trip, at maximum speed unlike the Twin Towers on 9/11. That's a toughy!

Answer 6

Because, nothing actually hit the building to weaken the steel.

Answer 7

seem to have missed the part where either planes or tons of steel fell on it from a building collapsing next to it

Answer 8

Because my uneducated friend there was not enough heat as opposed to the INTENSE heat from aircraft fuel and the damage from an aircraft slamming into the towers followed by the extreme weight of the upper floors pancaking down ...now drink your milk and go to bed....we wont tell your Mommy you up to late....

Answer 9

There was no conspiracy unlike in 9/11.

Answer 10

Are you alluding to WTC?

Let's see lack of impact and jet fuel...
