You are looking right at itthe steel didn't melt?!?
Would they have still been intact if they'd had ten other pet rock assemblies bearing down on them? Yes, they're still there. But did their structural capabilities change due to the fire? Did ya'll pull them out and use them again?The steel frame work you see is the pet Rocks. It is hooked to concrete ballasts. That are all still in tact. 145,000 lbs of fuel an 125 lters of Lox.View attachment 6216390
I’m sure they were destroyed. We still need to be able to air drop in emergencyWould they have still been intact if they'd had ten other pet rock assemblies bearing down on them?

Great share. Did you take these photos?
No it doesn’t melt it, never said it did. It just twists it, expands it, weakens it, and deforms it when it burns. It loses its structural integrity as low as 600°. Every nut, bolt, rivet, strap, steel joist, steel I-beam, one by one start failing individually, and after burning under super heated conditions long enough, the whole system fails catastrophically.No, this is not my speculation- it is a compilation of hundreds (possibly thousands) point of views. I have watched more eyewitness interviews , first responder accounts, clean up crew stories and buried footage than anyone I've ever met. Also worked in metallurgy and have cut any ferrous OR non ferrous material you can name. The narrative simply does not add up
Regardless of any question you just ask, jet fuel does not melt steel beams. Under any circumstance
entertaining that is pointless because the plane was still over 70 stories from the basement sublevel where the support beam was cross cut. That kind of heat transfer in that timeframe is not possible no matter how much jet fuel and o2 present. Also will not result in a cross cut on a primary supportUnless of course there’s an oxidizer present. Do you know what happens to fire when pure oxygen is added? Like say the O2 tanks on board an aircraft to supply the crew and all the passengers with oxygen on a transcontinental flight? Or the LOX systems some planes have?
No oxygen doesn’t blow up like in the movies, it enriches all the flammable and combustible material and burns at a much higher temperature. Rapidly.
I phrased that wrong. O2 itself doesn’t explode just by adding flame, but a pressurized cylinder most certainly will explode under heat and flame.Oh but it does! Seen them blow. Maybe not like movies, but the blow.
when I was on. C17s, yes my call sign. We have an OBIGGS system that generates nitrogen for fire systems
