you are forgetting that it wasn't a solid block of concrete the plane hit, but was more like a cage with glass, not to mention that aged concrete, unless treated gets brittle with exposure to the elements, especially with how old the towers were at the time.
No sir, the same fuel that burns in a jet engine and doesn't melt it can not melt that steel. Sorry.
Never said anything about the fires fren. I was speaking of only the impact itself.
Basically kerosene, which has very low volatility. What was the source of immediate ignition for the Hollywood-esque fireball?
The architect built it to withstand being hit by planes. That structural steel would have held up.
Have you ever seen the nose of an aircraft after hitting a bird? There is no way an aluminum aircraft went through the last massive steel structure…
Concrete gets stronger with time not weaker. Fun fact the Hoover Dam is still curing after decades and if there were not cold water pipes running through it the surface would be hotter than the ambient temperature.
Might want to tell that to some of the old concrete buildings around where I live. They are just as old, if not older, and are crumbling.
The interview with Trump at the time, he said the facade of the buildings were steel, that was why the windows were so thin in width.
No. Twin towers were designed to take a hit from jumbo jer passenger aircraft.
