That article is absolutely mind boggling. I am not a physicist, but the argument for demolition seems quite logical to me. The author proves his points with pictures , scientific data , math equations and the laws of Physics.
IT almost brings tears to my eyes...............sad beyond belief.

That's what were talking about. The simple fact is that burning jet fuel can weaken and even melt unprotected steel- -CONTRARY TO WHAT WAS SAID.

Now I don't remember if that link mentions it or not, but the fact that some building built in 1900 or 1950 did not collapse in some bad fire is irrelevant. Older construction techniques- -pre "asbestos is terrible!"- -wrapped the steel support beams in asbestos PRECISELY BECAUSE AN ORDINARY FIRE COULD WEAKEN THEM TO THE POINT WHERE THEY COLLAPSED- -PARTICULARY IF THEY WERE UNDER SERIOUS STRESS, such as having a number of floors sitting on them!

After the laws were changed banning use of asbestos and often requiring its removal, those beams STILL needed protection against flame. What is done now is to spray the beams with a solution which gives them some protection against heat BUT NOT NEARLY WHAT ASBESTOS WRAPPING WOULD. Another thing: a shock, such as a plane hitting a building, can knock part of that sprayed-on coating loose, making the steel even more vulnerable.

Another matter: that post has been presented to all the conspiracy theorists on this thread. Not one has answered it.
