I have propsed you something easier.Just to watch something not read. You refuse. Really do watch it and answer the questions raised in there. I am very curious to hear your answers based on your already -as you claim- existing knowledge on the matter. The film is very scientific. It’s not mumbo jumbo.

The burning was far from been a furnace effect like you descibed it before, hence the dark smoke. It was a very inneficient burning leading to maximum 1000 degrees compared to the 3000 required for steel to melt. Kerozene and organic matter under perfect burning conditions are unable to reach more than 2/3rds of the temperature required for steeel to melt.The firemen on the burning floors were reporting
2 isolated fires that they could put down with just 2 hose lines Its all in the video with live recordings that you don’t want to "waste" your time listening. The only truth in your theory is that steel at those temperatures loses its strength (but DOES NOT melt). If this was what happened then the steel would just let go the concrete slabs and cause the pancake effect you and the official explanation of events describes. This however DOES NOT ANSWER the question to what happened to the STEEL CORE of the building even 100 floors below the fire.

The exlosions were well before the buildings fell.

I already said where I base my convictions. Name me one steel structure/skyscraper anywhere in the world that collapsed due to fire. The planes that crashed on the twin towers did not even tilt them. They presumably fell because of the fire.As for the high temperatures involved look above.
NB. I am still waiting for someone to tell me how many builings of the World Trade center have collapsed on 9/11. GorillaG-living in NY- any ideas?
