Bingo. I was going to write a post regarding strain rate but you got there first.Strain rate.

Journalists do not need to know what they're talking about e.g. when they report on a scientific study. A journalist's report is not a peer review.Chandler´s presention of your handling of NIST´s free-fall data was just meant as one good demonstration of the fact that you dont know what you are talking about in general, when it comes to this stuff.
How does Chandler qualify as a professional scientist? My understanding is he is a high school physics teacher, with an apparently poor understanding of how forces might stack up in a building collapse.Chris, you never understood Chandler´s criticism. He was explaining why professional arhcitects and scientists on behalf of AE911 should not waste time trying to debate this highly technical subject (demolition evidence) with someone like you, who is not only a layperson but also one that simply does not know at all what he is talking about.

But you never understood this, or were not humble enough to admit it and accept it. As always, you use your propensity to get easily offended as an excuse to avoid the problem.
If Chandler had the time and patience to go through all of your YouTube videos, he would end up demonstrating that you make the same kind of errors in every single one of them, and you would have to redo all of them, and all of your "238 points".

3% is still over 3 acres of burning office floors creating smoke enough to be visible from space. To try to convince us that this fire, one of the worst in the history of inner city fires, was somehow small and insignificant and not a danger to buildings in the vicinity is laughable, and possibly dishonest.
You claim cars that far away and farther cought fire from the collapsing tower. Double standard much, or would ony Magic Thermite be able to fly that far?
As you pointed out yourself earlier, the Verizon (probably) did not sustain huge gashes from the collapse of WTC1.
Neither did the P.O. bdg.
But WTC7 sustained a very large gash down a great number of floors.
Would that somehow change your assessment?
(I already offered you a slightly better argument - the Bankers Trust had a gash but no fire).
Ex ante, Tony, ex ante. Maybe.
Since, in reality, WTC7 did burn and the others didn't, you ought to adjust the ex post probabilities, don't you think?
Which "extreme" heat, Tony? Please be specific!
How would YOU identify stuff as "molten" plus "steel" in the rubble, if you saw it?
How did you corroborate these eyewitness reports?
Have you looked into other large building fires and ascertained that witnesses never report molten steel unless there actually is molten steel?
How reliable is eyewitness recollection, in your opinion, in general? You may want to discuss this with a view to your own trouble to recollect what who said where and when on TV!
If it ever was
No.
So would Invisible Pink Godzilla attacking New York. Or DEW.
Which FDNY officers and forensic and fire engineering experts actually on the scene in New York agree with you? Citations, please!

Oystein, it is a shame you and GlennB can't provide real mechanisms and arguments to show that WTC 1 could have caused the fires in WTC 7 as I understand you really want to believe it.
Would that be equal to the shame you feel you can't provide a competitive theory?
I noticed you have not posted in the "why building 7" thread. Afraid everyone might bust a gut laughing?
Tony, please note that there was not much dust in the beginning of the collapse (watch the videos and see relatively little dust squeezing out during the first ten floors) so the first few floors were not nearly as heavily dustified as lower floors, even if we accept your dust squelches fire theory.Oystein, it is a shame you and GlennB can't provide real mechanisms and arguments to show that WTC 1 could have caused the fires in WTC 7 as I understand you really want to believe it.
I actually think the logic shows the fires in WTC 7 had to be started by arson and I have given those reasons, which are much more than the hand waving that the fires were big in WTC 1.
It is a virtual impossibility for items from a natural fire to stay hot while being bathed in gypsum dust and in contact with cooler items during the collapse to then also have flown the 350 feet from WTC 1 to WTC 7 and also gotten into some relatively small openings in the building and start fires on ten floors. The building's exterior was not flimsy and it was not flammable like the plastic on vehicles. Your argument that WTC 7 was more in the line of fire than the Verizon or Post Office buildings, as an excuse for why it caught fire and they didn't, is also poor.
The infrared aerial photos showing surface temperatures of 1,300 degrees F five days after the collapses on the plans of WTC 1, WTC 2, and WTC 7 is enough to tell me the sub surface had unusual extreme heat and that was not caused by the fires in the buildings although logic would say it had something to do with the collapses because it was generally just under the collapsed buildings. You are only kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

With the intense wind speeds in the collapses burning carbon fuels would have oxidized, increasing in heat thermites would disperse decreasing in heat as the Aluminum fuel separated from the iron oxide oxidizer.
Gypsum makes no difference, as it is scattered and does not prevent oxidation as it is essentially at this time dried by the fires in WT1. Dry gypsum does not retard fire like wet drywall.
If you believe your theories have merit, do the relivent experiments and prove yourself wrong.
Tony, please note that there was not much dust in the beginning of the collapse (watch the videos and see relatively little dust squeezing out during the first ten floors) so the first few floors were not nearly as heavily dustified as lower floors, even if we accept your dust squelches fire theory.
Also, it doesn't look to me like the perimeter wall that peeled off like a banana and fell towards Building 7 was totally covered in dust, even if you accept that dustification would smother fire.
And how long after collapse initiation did Building 7 get slammed? 10 seconds? Are you saying that the perimeter that peeled away was fire-free, that all the oxygen stoking whatever embers were there for those ten seconds didn't stoke the flames, and that dust which didn't even cover the top collapsing floors could snuff out any heat?
Did Barry Jennings report arsonists running around Building 7?
I'm kinda thinking the burden of proof is on you, when you deny that a huge building fire whose smoke plume was the size of Manhattan could crash into a nearby building, leaving open gashes, and NOT set a fire in a building abandoned by firefighters. What proof do you need from Oystein? Prove to me there were arsonists. And prove to me that dust in the air can extinguish a several-acres big fire in ten seconds before it hits Building 7.
Gypsum dust would certainly prevent oxidation and flame due to combustion by cutting off the oxygen to the fire. Things would then cool quickly due to conduction as they were also being contacted by cooler items during the collapse.
Why didn't the people trapped in the dust cloud suffocate?

You might be having trouble following along.
I am taking about the dust being very heavy over the plan of the building. There weren't many survivors there. The dust would have been thinned by orders of magnitude away from the plan of the building.
