Re: The amazing denial what of what "conspiracy kooks" really means....

 


Dear "Violated": steel boilers have an outside and an inside. The inside
absorbs heat, and the outside radiates it away at the same time, so the
steel normally never reaches it's melting point. Also, the boiler is
designed to reach a certain temperature and then remain there. The little
machine that does this is called a "thermostat", and that's another reason
why steel boilers seldom melt.
None of this is true in a situation where a piece of steel is surrounded by
fire on all sides, and has no way to radiate off any of the heat it absorbs.
In such a situation, the steel just keeps getting hotter and hotter until it
softens and loses it's tensile strength. (Duh.)

This is why when you're blacksmithing you don't heat a steel bar by placing
it *around* the forge where it would be able to radiate off most of the heat
it absorbed: you put it *into* the forge where it's completely surrounded by
flame on all sides. And *that's* why building codes say that steel beams
must be coated with fire-resistant insulating materials: the guys who wrote
the building codes *knew* that steel beams will soften enough to collapse if
they're heated long enough and hot enough. If this weren't common knowlege,
construction codes wouldn't universally be written that way.

If pretending that the WTC was knocked down by some incredible conspiracy
makes you feel better, then feel free to indulge yourself; but pointing out
"facts" that show us you have no basic understanding of the simple
engineering principals that made the steam engine possible almost 200 years
ago won't go very far towards supporting your delusion if you insist on
displaying them in public.

that you would be drawn to that conspiracy theory, Henry.  No lie.
The theory *had* to come up so types with pre-existing issues could
latch onto it to supply their lives some grand sense of meaning.
History has shown it time and again.

The 2001 attacks were predicted.

Were you in a position of power,
would you have done anything
about predictions of attacks?

Whom do you believe benefitted
most from the crimes of 9/11?
