Actually I do, you just don't pay attention or obviously ignore the very apparent things in the eyewitness testimonies. It clearly states that they heard explosions going off before any buildings where struck by any planes.
Retarded? Yes you are. |
Wrong...It'de be nice if you showed a semblance of respect for differing points of view. Troll...
Steel buildings have fallen due to fire.
| quote: | While there may be no examples of high-rise office buildings completely collapsing due to fire, it bears pointing out that there have been many steel-frame structure collapses due solely to fires. The McCormick Place exhibition hall is one such example, which collapsed in 1967 only 30 minutes after a small fire was accidentally started [23]. Another prominent example is the Mumbai High North Oil Platform [24], constructed of steel and seven stories high, which completely collapsed after burning for two hours following a shipping accident that ruptured oil lines. A third example, occurring after Dr. Griffin’s manuscript was finalized, is the collapse of the Interstate 580 overpass in the MacArthur Maze [25] near San Francisco. This overpass, supported only by steel beams, suffered no impact but collapsed due to the heat of an 8,600 gallon gasoline fire, burning in the open below, after nineteen minutes.
