The vertical steel beams in the towers were not contiguous from top to bottom, I think they were built in 30 foot sections and bolted together. So you would not need to cut the steel, more likely these beams would fail at their bolted connections or weld joints.

Scroll back up the page to post #10, and you will see that thatis exactly the failure mode.

I'm surprised no truthers have thought of nanothermite bolts.

I've about had it with all these retarded Truther scientists and their insane claims....an orbiting Death Star...holograms and the like...ALL of these arguments have been dealt with before. Our Truther scientists know this and are just pretending they don't. Every single argument here has been done to death elsewhere.

So I post once again, the definitive paper about the impact into the WTC. If you do the actual math - you've heard of this math stuff - right?, you will see that what happened is exactly what you'd expect to happen.

Yes. yes, we know all about all the Truther PhDs and their research scientists. I doubt they can understand this paper. Anyone who wants can pm me an e-mail address and I will forward it to them.

This was one paper I hadn't read until the last time Scott made a post discussing it. Very good, but it is not something you can just casually read and understand so I agree, Scott, they won't be able to comprehend it. And there in lies the rub...they have no way to comprehend the ACTUAL science and math of what happened, as such they are easily swayed by the rantings and ravings of idiots, liars and charlatans, enhanced by the "need" to feel like they know something others don't. That they've figured it all out, the truth.

That reminds me. Could you tell the Controller that the NWO owes me six months back pay?

The NWO kitty will be right over to take care of that.

It would have made more sense.

A pyrotechnic fastener (also called an explosive bolt, or pyro, within context) is a fastener, usually a nut or bolt, that incorporates a pyrotechnic charge that can be initiated remotely. One or more explosive charges embedded within the bolt are typically activated by an electric current, and the charge breaks the bolt into two or more pieces. The bolt is typically scored around its circumference at the point(s) where the severance should occur.[1] Such bolts are often used in space applications to ensure separation between rocket stages, because they are lighter and much more reliable than mechanical latches.

OMG this might be the next truther meme.

(Nah, too close to reality)

A spectacularly successful troll.

Actually SHC is a verified troll, having stated on other forums that "he" is here for the express purpose of trolling JREF about 9/11. He cannot be reasoned with.

Another self-confessed troll. Oh well, that's not a surprise. I've had him/she/it on ignore for ages.

Lovely.

Meh... Course I believe what the gubmint tell me, that's what us shills are paid for right?

.
Wait just a minute!
We're supposed to be paid?
Way back when I was outed as a gummint shill, and have yet to receive a dime!

Eh, us new kids just don't have the motivation that the old-school gubmint shills do. Hence, they instituted a monthly stipend.
