zonder,

I agree completely about the public floggings. :)

On a more serious note (not that disciplining the idiot or madman on the P.A. system isn't a serious topic) I'd like to suggest that you take another look at just how "hot" the fires in the WTC towers might have actually been.

Here's a famous photo of a woman standing in the gaping hole created by the impact of Flight 11 with the North Tower:

As you might suspect, I'm very skeptical that the temperature required to weaken steel is being achieved while this human being is capable of standing in the opening, clearly alive and clearly not being burned to death.

Steel weakens to about 50% of its rated strength at 600 Degrees Centrigrade.
see chart: web.archive.org

Humans are incapable of surviving a temperature much higher than 100 Degrees Centrigrade in dry conditions.

How can this woman be alive and the steel deform simultaneously?

You only have about a 500 Degree Centigrade discrepancy to explain. Good luck. :)

Here, let me give you a little assistance from an expert:

Here's a chilling note. For his efforts to bring intelligence and the truth to the NIST investigation, Kevin Ryan was fired by UL. America is becoming a very fascist police state, and doing it in a hurry.
