Can a fire collapse a structure made of concrete and steel?

[Godboy]

The answer is... YES! I'd love to see you conspiracy weirdos explain this.

Massive fire causes part of highway to collapse in Atlanta | Daily Mail Online

Explosives were not needed to take down the Twin Towers. The burning wreckage of an airliner is all it took.

It was an inside job

Actually having driven through Atlanta, this is exactly what the place needed --- a speed bump.

To this day, I am still in awe of what two airplanes did to the WTC.

Indeed, two planes brought down three buildings.

Curious that.

Arlen Specter could essplain it.

No, fire brought down 3 buildings.

That's a great self portrait!

Actually, it was the fire that did that. But that's called physics.

Emoticons are not a good rebuttal.

You are obviously alluding to the various bridges and structures that have collapsed under fires since 9/11. Like the one in Atlanta yesterday. I also remember the mantra that steel in the twin towers can't melt either. But it did, too. It wasn't thermite that caused it either. Funny how that works.

My first thought when I saw those buildings fall is that they cannot collapse like that. That would be impossible.

And you would be wrong. Heat the steel I beams up to 1400 degrees and they lose 60% of their strength. Down it all comes.

So you are going to critique an hour and a half video after 3 minutes.

May I assume that you did not watch it.

Nope. I watched it long ago. It's not factually correct.

According to the laws of physics, 9/11 happened, like gravity or melting temperature of steel. A bunch of Muslims from Saudi Arabia and their hate cult attacked America and we want to overlook all that as well. Let's be reasonable and stop the hate and all that bullshit.

OK, my experience says they are correct. The same people who fed us this line are the ones who lied us into Iraq.

Just sayin'.
