A few questions about WTC Debris/ Ground Zero

[ElMondoHummus]

Oh, just for edification: One of the firefighters in the forum posted a "Basic Principles of Fire Behavior" thread a while back. It's worth a read:

Awesome, absolutely awesome.

Sorry if I came across as a truther, I really am not. I often have no trouble with truthers. I simply wanted clarifiction, and the best sources possible on this specific issue so I can really shut them up.

Thanks a million!

So am I to understand that you have read through all of the information presented here and now you completely understand the answers to all of your questions and you also have no additional questions?

 

[ElMondoHummus]

Easy, folks, easy. I see what you all see too. But fairness says that questions posed in honesty are worthy of answers posted in the same vein.

I think we can all easily continue the civil tone we've all been using so far.

 

[CDRM]

Yes, I think they've all been answered as best as they possibly can.

I don't know what is so strange about what I'm doing. I am not a truther, I had a general idea as to why these truther claims were wrong, but I wanted to get other -more intelligent- opinions and some evidence to back me up. You guys did just that.

Thank you.

CDRM:

Well given the amount of people we have had arrive here claiming to be "non-truthers" who are just asking for "clarification" or "just asking questions", who withing 2-3 pages of posts reveal themselves to be "truthers", you'll have to try to understand our suspicion.

Glad people here could help.

If you ever want to address the fire temperature thing, point them in the direction of Burning Mountain, Australia. It's a naturally occuring coal seam fire that reaches temperatures around 1700 degrees C, and is about 350 degrees C on the surface.

Large amounts of fuel, buried under ground and insulated (say by an enormous pile of debris) can burn at very high temperatures for a very long time.

That's precisely what you saw in the WTC debris pile, and what that is evidence of is not that thermite was used (any thermite would have completed burning before the roof hit the ground) but that A) The pre collapse fires were extensive and B) The towers contained enormous amounts of fuel to feed a large fire.

Is it possible that molten steel was present in the WTC debris pile due to intense heat? Absolutely.

Does it prove thermite? No. It debunks thermite.
