Bullshit detector going crazy!!! There was no softened steel. There is
NOTHING you can post here to explain how fire in the WTC softened ANY

Oh get a clue. That fireproofing foam they put on steel, it's
not just decorative.

Oooooh I must have struck a nerve. All of the cockroaches come crawling
out.

That's funny. *My* post sends *you* into a name-calling rant, and
you think *you* are the one that struck a nerve?

Greetings Mr. Olson. In the absence of the foam you speak of, does
the melting point of steel change?

Of course not. What a silly question.

You should study the properties of
steel and alloys before you parrot such misinformation.

Hey, instead of calling people names and making stuff up,
let's listen to someone who knows what he's talking about:

    Once the plane hit and the fragments of the plane came through
    the building, we know it knocked out floors. We also know that
    it knocked spray-on fireproofing off a lot of the components.
    Once you lose the spray-on fireproofing you have bare steel, and
    once you have bare steel you don't have a fire rating anymore.
