For the conspiracy theorists who say gas can't burn steel.

It has already been revealed that this "accident" was a staged Bush/Halliburton/Tri-Lateral Commission conspiracy.

Burnt steel,where? I see some bent steel but the main supports didn't even bend from the video I saw on Fox.

II am sure that GW and oldCheney were out there with their drills planting explosives.

Rosie and the other air heads won't believe anything else.

It has been said that "heat exceeded 2750 degrees, softening and buckling steel beams and melting bolts."

I wonder if aviation fuel burns hotter than regular 'ol unleaded![&:]

Someones to blame, might as well be GW and friends, just like everything else!

Just thought i'd post this, Steel doesnt have to melt, (IE 2750F) - Quoting the Steel Design & Analysis book on my desk " Steel will begin to loose its load carrying capacity at 600F and will have little strength left at 1200F"

All it takes is for a beam loaded at 45% to heat up to 600F and youve got structural collapse.

Is that an expensive book? Can we mail a copy to Rosie with this section highlighted?

Just send it to her marked "COD - Perishable food items."

LOL, stupid rosie. I could just fax the page to her.... the book is probably to expensive to waste on such a useless cause.
