The left's favorite fat lady has placed her fat foot right into her fat mouth !
She claimed that the destruction of the twin towers on 9/11 was a govt plot..she even backed her claim up with "incontrovertable facts"...LOL
She got up on her soap box of brilliance and declared.." That is the first time in history that fire has melted steel !"...Duuuuuhh !!!
By that statement, she simply PROOVED that she never checks anything out factually..she just lets the hate-filled, looney-left blogs spoon feed their lying propaganda directly into her brain...that must take at least a half a teaspoonful !
How, pray tell ..Ms brilliance, do you suppose they refine and form steel into ingots, I beams etc ?
I always considered her as probably stupid..but must she open her mouth and remove all doubt ?
Buildings can burn very hot and if the conflagration reaches the critical point, it can draw air in so rapidly from surrounding atmosphere that it creates it's own blower.
This pheonomenon is called a "firestorm"...
After being bombed, the city of Dresden, Germany was completely engulfed in flames, the fire was so intense that it created a veritable hurricane..drawing objects such as furniture and even human beings from hundreds of yards outside the outside the actual fire, directly into the conflagration.
I can have my forge lit and burning quietly..put a rod of 3/8 or 1/2 inch steel into the FIRE..and by turning the blower strongly for perhaps 1.5 to 2 minutes...I will pull that sparking rod out of the FIRE a couple inches shorter than it went in..
Steel melts at 2700 degrees F and it is not hard to visualize that there were many very powerful venturis formed in the in the halls, collapsed ceilings etc..
The fact is, that the steel would not have to MELT in order for the building to collapse...steel starts to glow the familiar "red hot" at around 800 degrees F. At that point, it has probably lost more than half it's tensil strength..easily enough to buckle the structure, I would guess.
I can take a lengthy piece of steel that I could not possibly bend by my own efforts...heat a spot in the middle to a red glow..and very easily bend it in half with almost no effort.
Anyone that has worked with torches or any heat and steel job, knows this full well !
If just a couple places in the tower structures steel frame were heated as outlined, it would be enough to bring down the whole "house of cards"..
Read this account of the Chicago fire (Oct 8, 1871), and how easily steel was melted <
www.mce.k12tn.net/disasters/great_chicago.htm ....And there was no JET FUEL present to really heat things up !...LOL
Suggest you scroll down and read the third paragraph .
I believe that if Rosie had a brain, she would take it out and play with it...or perhaps even let her wife play with it !...LOL
