No, I have taken higher level courses in physics, though I am not majoring in it. If I took BASIC courses, it must mean I have a right to speak in this, yes? If I took BASIC courses, it means that I know everything, and can call everything fact? YES?! YES?
Honestly, shut the fuck up. Unlike PKC, I don't like you. You probably took these BASIC courses and think you are the fucking bees knees. You can't take these courses and think you know shit, sorry.
I'm saying "Do you read" Because PKC posted some very good information, and culorut replies WITH AN ANIMATED GIF.
Seriously, mind your own business, I wasn't fucking talking to you. please continue to back up your stupid little friend culorut.

This is what happens when you do not research simple things like the melting points of structural steel. The fire weakened the steel but it did not melt anything which is obvious.
Question is where did all the molten metal come from under all 3 WTC towers if the fires where around the same temperature? |
What does this have to do with the towers coming down? If we obviously didn't get to the bottom of the towers till a very long time after this happened, where is the relevance in finding metal that had melted at some point? I guarantee it wasn't even close to being "molten" as you claim as well. It was probably a different type of metal, and it was probably warped badly.
I said that the reason the towers came down in the first place was due to the steel weakening and expanding. Explosives don't cause metal to melt they don't create enough heat to cause that kind of damage. If you want something to create heat you don't design it to expand that rapidly. Rapid expansion leads to heat loss. Explosives like what you're talking about don't do any damage by heat. It's the rapid expansion that creates a concussive blast that does any kind of damage.
Now, you want to know why the building collapsed on itself, check this out it's really cool Issac Newton figured this out a couple hundred years ago. It's called inertia. It's this really cool part of physics that he talked about in his laws of motion. You see, everything is at some state of excitement whether we can see it or not. Even the computer screen you stare at while you find this crap is in motion. When given the chance, this stored up energy is released in some pretty cool ways.
However, there is only a point to how far this goes based upon the inertia of object in question. When talking about a good 30 floors of office building you have to realize there is literally tons of inertia there. It's so much in fact that it's only going to do one thing, and that is go straight down. The only problem with that is there is other stuff underneath it, so it tries to go but can't and starts to lean a little at first. Then when it's allowed to go, it goes and quickly. Some of it gets released straight down, some of it starts going through the building, and some of it gets scattered.
You could even set up your own little test bed at home and try this on some scale, but then that would be wasting your time finding more junk science bullshit other people like you that don't study this stuff make up. I find it funny because 1) I'm not even done with my engineering degree and I know this stuff and 2) I'm not even getting into that type of engineering (I'm doing mechanical) and I know this stuff. It would seem to me that more people would understand as simple to comprehend as this stuff is.
