My reaction on 9-11 to seeing the towers disappear was "WHAT did I just see?" A 110 story tower almost erupting or at least billowing out into a huge cloud of dust. Twice. When the dust cleared we were not shown what was left for several years. Now we know that very little was left. The debris pile should have been 160 feet deep, but was only 20 feet at its highest. The towers indeed had turned to dust.
ReplyDeleteAnalysis of the dust shows that it contains micrometer and nanometer sized particles of steel, aluminum, concrete and glass, as well as fibers compatible with asbestos. The dust was NOT hot, and did not burn anyone or any foliage.
Jet fuel fire does NOT do this. Jet planes flown by hijackers are not what destroyed the entire WTC complex of seven buildings.

ReplyDeleteJet fuel was an accelerant that instantly ignited massive fires over multiple floors in the WTC towers. The fires further weakened the damaged buildings initiating a progressive collapse of the floor systems. The dust and debris generated in the collapse and the resulting rubble were exactly as would be expected for a fire-induced gravity-driven collapse.
