Yeahhh.....have fun living in your fantasy world where the government loves you and would put its citizens lives over the chance to make billions of dollars from the military-industrial complex from going to war.
You just have fun with that.

Don't take our word on that: the engineers and the architects have studied this thing in extraordinary detail, and they can tell you precisely what caused the collapse of those buildings.
Good suggestion Mr. Hamilton! Maybe we should all go over to the NIST site and see what they have to say!

Yes, and the rest of the fuel burns up in virtually seconds, leaving a regular office fire which certainly isn´t capable of melting steel.
In the interview Mr. Hamilton describes how everything that was put in the report had to be approved by all commission members. This explains why it´s such a contradictory and impossible hodge-podge of silly bunk that fewer and fewer people take seriously. It doesn´t age well at all.

Why the obsession of having to melt steel? All you have to do is heat up the steel until it loses it integrity ie it weakens. This can occur at a far lower temperature.
Of interest is the maximum value which is fairly regularly found. This value turns out to be around 1200°C, although a typical post-flashover room fire will more commonly be 900~1000°C. The time-temperature curve for the standard fire endurance test, ASTM E 119 [13] goes up to 1260°C, but this is reached only in 8 hr. In actual fact, no jurisdiction demands fire endurance periods for over 4 hr, at which point the curve only reaches 1093°C.

If office fires are enough to reduce steel-framed buildings to dust into their footprints then why on earth aren´t demolition companies saving millions by setting fires to such buildings? Why are they still wasting time and money on all this explosives stuff? I mean, these are for-profit businesses, right?

Good point - and it's not like it takes that long to "burn down" skyscrapers...heck, WTC went down in just a few hours...You should sell your idea to demo companies...

Yet, here you sit and only a small fringe minority here supports your opinions by now, see recent survey.
The more you have told people to "wake up" the less support your viewpoints get. There must be something about the message of this fringe minority that just doesn´t fly with the broad public
