Assumption 1 – The impact of an object with {M) mass traveling at {N} units per {O} time + the subsequent localized fire providing {P} units of energy per {Q} time = structural failure of a steel(calculate for the rate of thermal conductivity{R1}, diffusability{S1}, Coefficient of expansion{T1}, Yield{U1}, Shear{V1}, Tensile Strength{W1}, Hardness{X1}. and Density{Y1}) and concrete(again, calculate for the rate of thermal conductivity{R2}, diffusability{S2}, Coefficient of expansion{T2}, Yield{U2}, Shear{V2}, Tensile Strength{W2}, Hardness{X2}. and Density{Y2}) architecture within Z units of time.

FYI – the values for the lowest quality of steel that I can find(in my collection) are as follows:

Steel, Carbon Type 1008
———————–
Melting Point: 2500degF
Brinnel Hardness: 86
Yield Strength: 24.7 ksi
Shear Strength: 11.6 ksi
Tensile Strength: 44.2 ksi
Thermal Conductivity: 139 Btu/hr-ft-F
Thermal Diffusivity: 0.37665 sq in/min
Coefficient of Expansion: 0.007 in/in-F

Please note that this is the lowest quality of steel I can find, but even with that, I doubt that anyone here will be able to give the energy provided by the mass*speed of the plane, along with the energy provided by the subsequent fire, enough energy to cause any of the WTC buildings to structurally fail.

I.e. – the sheer amount of steel, and latticework that went into the WTC buildings would have dispersed the heat of almost any fire within them quite efficiently, as almost every steel and concrete building on the planet has been known to do.

Please make the time to watch these two very recent presentations. In my mind, this is by far the most important evidence regarding 9/11. This evidence will eventually win over the public. However, as Jones explains in the first presentation, it takes a while for an unpopular hypothesis to gain popularity.

New York Times – By CHRISTOPHER MAAG

KENT, Ohio, May 1 — An audio recording of the shootings 37 years ago at Kent State University includes the voices of Ohio National Guard leaders ordering troops to fire into a crowd of students, according to a man wounded in the shootings, who obtained a copy of the recording.

“The evidence speaks for itself,” Mr. Canfora said. “The voices are right there, very clear. There was an order to fire.”

As a matter of fact, Wikipedia has a pretty good conspiracy theory write-up, in addition to its 9/11 entry, and if you don’t care for officially supported investigations or those by mainstream organizations, less conventional outfits from Skeptic Magazine (v.12 #4) to Chip Berlet, the investigator of right-wing movements, have looked into the matter with the same results.

A point Berlet has made also seems validated: while some of us busy ourselves relearning that steel weakens before it melts, or that controlled demolition is as hard to conceal as anything else in the building trades, or that there are indeed pictures of Pentagon plane wreckage, a genuine cabal carries on a barely concealed effort to turn the United States into Peron’s Argentina.

But what about the burning temperature of Jet A fuel compared to the melting temperature of steel… but what about the fire at the top melting the steel tens of storeys below… but what about the relative lack of fire in Building 7… but what about the absence of smashed plane parts at the Pentagon or in the field in Pennsylvania…

The entire scenario, according to any explanation – be it the officially sanctioned version or any of the alternative versions – is implausible. But it did happen, 3000+ lives were lost on the day, thousands of families were disrupted, and the geopolitical aftermath is beyond individual human conception.

I think the true and complete story – which I would suggest will be a matter for future forensic historians – pales in comparison to the consequences and effects for us all around the world.
