I use an Oxygen acetylene torch in my shop all the time cutting steal. it cuts rather quickly...

Rick: Do you have a source that proves jet fuel cant get hot enough to melt or bend steel?

The steel in the TT were not melted. They were WEAKENED by the intense heat. As steel reaches 1000 degrees f, it's structural integrity dimishes to less than 50%. This, combined with the forces incurred while expanding 1 foot per every 10 feet length while being anchored at both ends. This all happened because the fireproofing that was sprayed onto the steel was mostly blown off by the aircraft hitting the building.
And yes, EVERYTHING melts or vaporizes at a high enough temperature. But I forgot, people who speak out, like Rosie O'Donell have spent years studying the mechanical and thermal properties of metals and alloys, so they would know better than anyone :x

Even if the fire was at a high enough temperature to warp or melt the steel it didn't do that. It came down in powder. Sorry all except the conveniently located passport. Where is a warped piece of steel? Never seen a picture. I have seen a picture of the bottom of the structure with perfectly angled "cuts." Didn't warp that a bit. You think if it warped and melted they would have sold some really cool pieces or made some interesting art with it. If you honestly look at building seven and then immediately watch controlled demolition it is very eerily similar. And as a conspiracy theorist we do not know why they may be doing it. We are just trying to stop it. Won't even mention the lack of plane in the field and the lack of footage from the pentagon which has I'm sure over 500 cameras all over the place. They releases three still images that day. If it was racial crime it would have been on a loop all day. Three still images?! You deserve more than that. WE deserve more that that. Idk what happened that day but at least 1,000 architects and engineers have demanded a reinvestigation. I assure you we aren't all heavy drug users.

What's the melting point of steel?
That depends on the alloy of steel you are talking about. The term alloy is almost always used incorrectly these days, especially amongst bicyclists. They use the term to mean aluminum. What the term alloy really means is a mixture of metals, any kind of metals. Almost all metal used today is a mixture and therefore an alloy.
Most steel has other metals added to tune its properties, like strength, corrosion resistance, or ease of fabrication. Steel is just the element iron that has been processed to control the amount of carbon. Iron, out of the ground, melts at around 1510 degrees C (2750°F). Steel often melts at around 1370 degrees C (2500°F). Jet fuel and other flammable materials provided the fire with a lot of energy.

Different chemicals burn at different degrees of temperature. The fuel from the planes in 9/11 do not burn at the temperature high enough to bend or melt steel.
Construction steel melts at 2800 degrees.
Max heat produced by jet fuel
Fuel max heat 1520 degrees
Since we are speaking again of 9/11 it is quite implausible that a building could never "pan cake" such as these buildings did with out some complicated help.

Even if we ignore the laws of physics and say that the steel did melt it would still be implausible that all the steel structure would be affected to the same degree at the same time. In other words there a problem here.

the frame work of the twin towers was not the same as the skeleton's of othe building's.. the reason it melted ,was because it was so thin. unlike the I-beam's in the other N.Y building's.as a matter of fact a plane crashed into the ImpierState building earlier this century and the steel frame in it did'nt even start to melt..they should never use light framing like that for skyscraper's ever again..

The rant that "fire can't melt steel" was used by former comedienne Rosie O'Donnell who hates President Bush so much that she will say and do anything to besmirch his name.
The woman used to be quite funny as a stand-up comic but she is now a pathetic bitter individual whose limited intelligence seems to get the better of her.
What none of the 9/11 conspiracy theorists can adequately explain is WHY the US government would want to destroy two landmark buildings, thousands of people of 86 nationalities and all religions, thus creating physical and economic havoc.
The three people I personally know who believe this are all former heavy drug users so I think their brains have been scrambled and I cannot take them seriously. I don't know Rosie O'Donnell's drug history - maybe she dropped a lot of acid, etc. Or maybe she's just a nut.

Fire can melt steel. But they use electricity to melt steal in a foundry.
Fire has melted steel for years. Ever heard of a black smith?
or how about the freeway accident this spring.
WTC7 foundation was damaged by falling debris from the towers.

even a match can warp and weaken steel.
Pick a wire out of a steel brush and then hold a match under it. What happens? It will bend. Just because a steel wire is small it doesn't change the physical properties or the warping temperature of steel. A larger amount of fire at the same temperature of a match can cause a steel girder to weaken and warp.

an open air fire can not melt steal at most it can bend it. but not enough to take a tower down into its basement. the only way to melt steal is if the fire reaches over 2200 f.. in order to achive this you need to use thermite which was used in the towers. watch tower 7 fall and tell me that fire did that when a plane and no jet fuel even hit it

Fire has been melting metal for thousands of years. Has anyone heard of the iron age? I wonder what they think the main ingredient of steel is.
I've never heard of anyone using nuclear energy directly to process steel.
