How could fire spread to 10 floors? That's one thing.
What a stupid reply. You deny there were fires on at least 10 floors?
We know there were fires on at least 10 floors, because we have images and videos of flames coming visibly out of windows on at least 10 floors. There were more floors that smoke was emenating from, and some floors that had no windows (floors 5 and 6. for example, were merely technical floors, no offices). So it is a FACT that 10 OR MORE floors had fires.
Look at the videos. The fires were small. Most of WTC7 was pristine, same as both towers.
WTC7 was a freakingly huge skyscraper. Would have been the tallest in many states and countries. Having fires on 10 floors or more, some of which burned out through most of their floor area, is HUGE! It would be the most remembered desaster of the decade, if not century, in most cities!
Any heat to a steel column or beam is immediately shared/dissipated throughout the entire beam or column.
Immediately?? How stupid you are!
Starred chefs cook on pots made of copper, because steel doesn't dissipate heat fast enough.
Structural failure doesn't become global structural failure. That's just stupid magic crap.
Argument from incredulity and ignorance noted. What a stupid argument.
You do know that blow torches are used to "weaken" steel and that their RANGE of effectiveness is inches?
If steel dissipates heat immediately, would a blow torch not heat the entire piece of steel uniformly and never melt and cut a local portion? Do you ever check your posts for internal consistency?
And now the six (out of 8) questions from my last post that you chose to run away from like a cowardly weasly:
These four points are of course Wikipedia's take.
(1) Did Bazant himself make four points explicitly? Do you know? (2) Did you read Bazant's paper(s)? Yes or no will do
(3) Do you agree with the full-blooded Americans at Purdue?
Northwestern probably hired Zdenek Bazant, because he is one of the world-leading scholars in his field (from your source: "the world leader in research on scaling in the mechanics of solids").
(4) What are your credentials?
(5) Are you arguing that US universities should not hire the best academics in the world in their respective fields because foreigners can't be trusted? Yes or no will do.
(6) Are you saying that experience is a bad thing in academics and engineering? The younger they are, the better? Yes or no will do.
(7) Clayton, how old are you?
(Oops, I miscounted - 7 out of 9 questions unanswered, not 6/8)
