Geez, am I a glutton for punishment or what?

Unless someone was up there with a goddam thermometer, nobody knows what the temperature of the fire was. Especially since it could have varied widely all over the impact location.

The web is filled with jackasses on this subject. I looked. Like I said, a glutton for punishment. Ignoring the majority of the ignoramuses who believed that a fire would have to reach the melting temperature of steel for damage to occur, I find that most of them have, like you, seized on the car park chart, involving a few burning automobiles and maybe 100 gallons of gasoline, while ignoring many other studies actually done on skyscraper designs and more realistic fire scenarios.

I notice that neither you nor any of these other conspiracy nuts have addressed the biggest hole in the "demolition" argument, which is that someone would have had to plant hundreds if not thousands of pounds of high explosive onto dozens of major redundant structural elements of an inhabited building ahead of time, and plant them exactly where the airplanes were going to hit. That this is impossible apparently fazes you not in the least.

God...and all these people can vote...
