Has this been discussed elsewhere? If so where? And my apologies, I genuinely looked.

Just truthers screaming that if there is no collapse here there should have been no collapses in the WTC.
I was just wondering if there was a discussion of the simulation showing the intent of it. I can't find any direct reference to it.Oh. Well, they're wrong.

Primary product, heat, it kills; left out why?. Don't worry people, all we have, water vapor, and carbon dioxide, Fire!. Was it the water vapor and carbon dioxide that weakened the steel? Forced people to jump?The products of flaming combustion are primarily carbon dioxide and water vapor.
As I remember it (and I am going from memory here) NIST found that no fire rating tests had been done on the floor truss systems, so they recreated a floor truss system and did a test to find it's fire rating, which of course would not cause the system to collapse, as the conditions were different to it being part of a bigger system in the building. In other words it wasn't to determine if their model would collapse.
ETA: just found this:
From the above link:
Stephen Hayde invented and patented the method of making a structural grade lightweight aggregate early in the twentieth century. The process uses a rotary kiln to pyro-process and expand clay, shale or slate. The end product is a strong and durable lightweight aggregate used in numerous types of construction throughout the world.
Hayde named the product after himself. Although the original patents have long since expired, the term "Haydite" is used by several companies in marketing their expanded shale lightweight aggregate.
Please show this to the next jackass who comes in here shrieking that because the smoke in the towers was black, the fire was going out.Has this been discussed elsewhere? If so where? And my apologies, I genuinely looked.
