It's a picture of a burnt wood beam supporting steel beams which have twisted and bent due to a fire. Didn't the caption appear on your version? It's a refutation of this ridiculous statement:Clayton Moore said:What is the picture of? Is it associated with 9/11?
Clayton Moore said:You could apply the heat of an office fire directly to a Tower support column for most of eternity and it would never weaken sufficiently without help beyond the building's force on it.
You obviously have zero knowledge in this area. Not to mention that it would not be necessary to weaken the support columns with the fire - only to sag the floors and pull them free of their connections so the support columns are left unbraced, at which point the columns are going to fail due to having a too-large slenderness ratio.
Maybe you'd care to address this:
