No, my friend.  Any architect will tell you a steel frame building collapses much sooner than a wood building, because only the wood that burns loses structural strength.  Any manual of firemen.

I can't see a problem with a tremendous impact of 185 tons hitting "fire protected steel" rendering them "unfire protected steel."  Quite the opposite - it's puzzling to me why that wouldn't be obvious.   But you don't even have to take my word for it - next time you are doing a barbecue stick a piece of rebar in the coals.  Then see for yourself how easy it is to bend.

Here's an explanation from a fire chief.  

The trend over the past half-century is to create lightweight high buildings. To do this you use thin steel bent bar truss construction instead of solid steel beams.  To do this you use hollow tube steel bearing walls, and curved sheet steel (corrugated) under floors. To do this you eliminate as much concrete from the structure as you can and replace it with steel.  Lightweight construction means economy. It means building more with less. If you reduce the structure’s mass you can build cheaper and builder higher. Unfortunately unprotected steel warps, melts, sags and collapses when heated to normal fire temperatures about 1100 to 1200 degrees F.

Way to avoid my questions and answer what you WISH I had asked. Furthermore you didn't address NORAD standing down at all. I wonder how they got that done with a box cutter. Sure you can melt steel with fuel, the only problem is it takes MANY HOURS even under perfectly ideal circumstances, regardless of impact damage. Impact damage does not make steel heat faster. Additionally the steel framework for this building was MASSIVE, it could have burnt for days and easily had most of the heat lost as the framework turns into a giant heat sink and conducts it away.  You keep arguing that the steel was weakened enough to create COMPLETE STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF 3 BUILDINGS. What a coincidence that these perfect conditions were met to melt steel enough to weaken all 3 of them, especially when jet fuel wasn't even in building 7, all in a few hours no less. If it was this easy to bring skyscrapers down, don't you think there should be some changes to the building code in the very least? I wonder why that hasn't happened...

You accuse everyone else of basing their logic on flimsy theories yet your own argument is based on such. The only "official" attempt at explaining the structural properties of the building's destruction were conducted by NIST, and the real models they used could not reproduce the effect! To get the officially reported "pancake collapse" effect, the models were completely manipulated to get anything close to what what was stated in the original report. Problems with the NIST models are documented here: http://www.journalof911studies.com/volume/200612/NIST-WTC-Investigation.pdf

You claim the protections of physics, chemistry, and architecture in your arguments, yet you completely ignore those fields of study when they do not work in your favor. That is not science.

If it was this easy to bring skyscrapers down, don't you think there should be some changes to the building code in the very least? I wonder why that hasn't happened...


It has.  Of course not enough, though.



Sure you can melt steel with fuel, the only problem is it takes MANY HOURS even under perfectly ideal circumstances, regardless of impact damage. Impact damage does not make steel heat faster.

Why are you talking about "melting steel"?  The steel beams could not have melted before the building collapsed.

Additionally the steel framework for this building was MASSIVE, it could have burnt for days and easily had most of the heat lost as the framework turns into a giant heat sink and conducts it away.  

Are you kidding me?  Steel does NOT conduct heat away easily at all.  

Was the steel framework "MASSIVE"?  I don't know what that means.  The steel framework varied in thickness from 0.25" to 4.00" top to bottom.

Let's say it was 1" thick where the planes hit and use a box beam 12" x 36".  What amount of jet fuel would it take to cause 2' of this beam to reach a temperature where it's strength was ridiculously degraded?

Steel - to raise 1C needs 448 J/kg
Oil - 5.3 X 10^7 joule/kg


Material - 12x36x2x24 = 20,736 cubic inches of steel (about 0.29 lb/cu in)
Taking result and converting to kg 2,733 kg.

Say initial T was 60C raise to 1000C difference is 940C

940C x 2733kg x 448 J/kg = 1.15 x 10^9 J

How much oil?

5.3 x 10^7 j/kg and 115 x 10^7 J required --> 22 kg

EG to buckle that MASSIVE beam requires 22 kg of fuel.

NOTE:  This is WHY WE USE STEEL - it's easy to work with, form at a raised temperature, then cools down to ambient and it's very strong.  


 The only "official" attempt at explaining the structural properties of the building's destruction were conducted by NIST

No, NIST was not the "only" study, I guess depending on what you mean by "official."

Do you know how difficult it is to construct a building, so that if it falls down through the fault of some partial destruction, that it falls down into its very own footprint?

The wind might blow a building over. An airplane might knock a building over. Fire might burn a building down. But to construct a building that will collapse at almost the speed of freefall, into its own footprint when damaged, is really a fantastic thing. Controlled demolition has a difficult job of doing this.

Anyone who thinks that the Twin Towers and Building 7 came down the way they did through some action other than controlled demolition, is somebody out there buying all the lottery tickets he can get so that he is assured of winning something.

The point isn't about demolition or not. The point is about who did the demolition, under whose orders, and why?

Smiley

Just contrast the post of Spendulus above with the one of TECSHARE before it and BADecker after it. I highlighted a few points to make it easy to see the difference in quality. Believe whatever you want, but I don't understand why you guys aren't just embarrassed. For example, BADecker is implying that it is highly improbable for the Twin Towers and Building 7 to collapse in the manner they did. (I'm assuming you guys actually believe they collapsed, but who knows.) Well, probabilities can be calculated based on assumptions. What are your assumptions and what are the calculations? How low is that probability based on your assumptions? It's rhetorical, I'm not expecting you to show any actual work.

Well, congratulations, Nazis. You win another round. Hamas and their surrogate Jihadis in CAIR get to spend years advertising lies about what "Jihad" means. Then as soon as someone tries to advertise about what "Jihad" really means they get silenced. You didn't even have to organize a Kristallnacht to silence her after all. The Nazi NYC government took care of it for you.

So you're actually saying that the almost entirely Jewish NYC government are Nazis? Are you a member of the JDL or JTF? It's difficult to imagine someone with this level of built-up specifically-Jewish/Zionist hatred inside not being Jewish. You make me sick to my stomach.

Thanks!

It's a nice day. People got to see (again) that crazy Jihadis are willing to kill over cartoons, instead of cartoonists being killed two Jihadis were killed, and one of my old threads got brought back to life. I'm happier than Muhammed was when he was fucking a 9 year old.

Many people who attacked Muslims where released free and no innocents were killed.
...
Terrorists use Islam as an excuse, in fact, they don't follow it and/or create a new religion.

You see, statements like these are why I say you are a liar. It's obviously false that "no innocents were killed" in Muhammed's many battles. It's also equally obvious that terrorists can point to the teachings and life of Muhammed to justify what they do. I believe you also know that, but one of your purposes in life is to say untrue things to cover up Islam's bloody teachings and bloody history.

By the way, if the world is successful in killing the message of Muhammed, no innocents will be killed.

I don't think it's clear enough to call Zakir a liar.  Yes, he has lied, many times in this thread, and I'm sure he will continue to.

It's just more accurate to say "Muhammed Zakir is a propagandist."

I agree. "Propagandist" is more accurate.

Good luck with the belief. I wasn't lying but if you believe it, I don't have any persuasive power to make you believe what I say.

By the way, Muslims do have the pursuasive power to make people pretend to believe what you say. The power is threatening to kill people who question it, and ultimately killing some of them. That's why most people pretend to believe it or at least pretend to respect it. Otherwise, Islam would be treated more like other kooky belief systems, like Scientology.

-snip-

There was no injustice done at all, Kab incited people to kill Muhammad and Muslims, so therefore he became a big threat to the lifes of Muslims.

In today’s legal system, if you incite murder that is seen as a crime and you yourself are guilty of murder as well. This is exactly what Kab did; he incited murder and violence.

By the same standard Muhammed incited his followers to kill a hell of a lot of people. Too bad he's dead or we could kill him.

The teachings of Muhammed even outlived him and incited his followers to kill and enslave millions of people. Maybe we could kill his teachings. The first step is exposing his teachings as bullshit.

Regarding whether or not Islam is in favor of murdering artists, I just saw this online:

[ img]http://s8.postimg.org/f76n6khid/CEKJ8_CAVIAEOlqp_jpg_large.jpg[/img]

The Muslims on this thread are lying. They know they're lying. And they know some of the rest of us know they're lying. Lying about this shit is just part of what they do to serve their religion. It's called Taqiya.

The report about Asma bint Marwa is fabricated report. Please don't spread false things, not everything in internet/media is true. Smiley

Well, it was a long time ago, so I can't say if its true or not. I admit that killing a female poet who says something bad about Mohammed doesn't sound like something Muslims would do.

...Wait...

PS: I'd like to ask you also not to spread false things. Not everything in your Qu'ran is true. Smiley

You don't know whether is true or not, then why keep spreading it? It didn't happen.

Did I? I don't post more about Qur'an here because my English is not that good and I can't have an effective conversation and dome of the things I say will be oppposite to what I "really" want to say.

I was being a bit sarcastic in my post, but probably this did not come across due to language issues. Let me be very clear:

I believe Muslims lie about aspects of their religion and history. Most Muslims are simply ignorant of their religion and history, but those Muslims usually do not talk about it. You do, and I believe your purpose in threads like this is simple: lie to non-Muslims about Islam. I am calling you a liar.

Just as I cannot know the specifics of Asma bint Marwa case, you also cannot know that it is a fabrication. It is disputed. Still, you do not have any difficulty asserting it is a "fabricated report." In fact, you cannot know that it is fabricated. All you know is that this is what you have been taught to assert in this case. You say "It didn't happen." You cannot know it didn't happen. Whether it did or not, it is not the only case of Mohammed and his followers murdering people.

If you want to know a proper perspective, watch this informative 30 minute video by a leading American-Muslim scholar on the Paris shooting:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzP8e9b_OT8

I agree with a lot of what he said.

I took the time to watch this. Here's a partial summary with a few points thrown in. It's of a Muslim dude preaching against killing cartoonists. It's in English but with some Arabic thrown in. (The first minute or so is in Arabic.)

He claims to be equally offended by cartoonists and murderers (6:13 - 7:00). That's better than a lot of Muslims. I personally find murderers more offensive than cartoonists.

He then (7:07 - 9:40) talks about the case of Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf, a poet at the time of Mohammed. Dude talks about how Ka'b wrote not only verses against Mohammed, but also dirty verses about the Muslim women. Finally Mohammed says, "Who will rid me of Ka'b?" and then he was killed. Dude is like, no, the real reason Muslims killed Ka'b was not because he was a poet writing dirty verses about that 9-year old Mohammed was fucking, but actually because Ka'b tried to kill Mohammed (multiple times!). I found more at Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ka%27b_ibn_al-Ashraf

Quote
Following the victory of the Muslims over the Quraysh in the Battle of Badr, in March 624, Ka'b was angry at the execution of a number of Meccan notables who had been captured after that battle.[4] Ibn Hisham's biography of Muhammad reports Ka'b as saying "By Allah, if Muhammad has indeed struck down those people, then it were better to be buried in the earth than to walk upon it!"[5]

Ka'b went to Mecca, where he wrote poems praising the Quraysh and trying to incite them to again take up arms again against Muhammad.[2] Some sources suggest that during a visit to Mecca, Ka'b concluded a treaty with Abu Sufyan, stipulating cooperation between the Quraysh and Jews against Muhammad.[6]

Upon returning to Medina, Ka'b started a fresh campaign that took the form of obscene songs and erotic poems with a view to defaming the Muslim women.[5]

Muhammad made it clear to his companions that he wished Ka'b killed, saying, "Who is willing to kill Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?"[7] Muhammad bin Maslama volunteered and was aided by several others, including Abu Na'ila (Silkan bin Salama, Ka‘b’s foster brother). Ibn Maslamah was troubled that this assassination would involve lying to Ka'b, but Muhammad gave him a dispensation to do so.[5]

They took Ka'b out for a walk late at night and killed him.[4]

To the dude's credit he makes the point that people who interpret this story as kill-those-who-insult Muslims are stupid (11:29). That is the kind of things Muslims need to hear from other Muslims. We non-Muslims can tell them they're stupid all we want, but that just seems to make them more stupid.

As part of that point he says Mohammed was insulted many times to his face and never stopped smiling. I'm not sure how true that is, but it would make an interesting cartoon.

Then he talks about how Muslims are right to be offended by cartoons and seems to be against free speech. It's not clear what he thinks Muslims should do against people who criticize Islam/Mohammed, but it's clear he neither accepts killing the cartoonists nor accepting the cartoonists.

At around 14:35 he asks "Why do people insult Islam?" (16:00) Look in the mirror. Back in Mohammed's time he says people mocked Islam as a tactic to try to stop the spread of Islam, because it called for justice and shit. That's not the case now. Now Islam is being mocked because of what Muslims are doing today. They're corrupt and bad and stuff. (18:40) "What are you going to quote now? What have we done? What have we produced as a people? How have we contributed to the world? The only time we make it on the news is when we blow something up." He argues Western Muslims have low moral standards. Muslims have to transform themselves. This seems to be the main point. In short, pay your taxes and give to charity.

(24:30) He says Muslims shouldn't try to convince non-Muslims they're not crazy because non-Muslims will think they're crazy no matter what. (I can confirm this. The only time I start thinking a Muslim isn't crazy is when they stop believing crazy shit, which means they're an ex-Muslim.)

Then he goes on to talk about how Muslims are great because they believe in reason, intelligence and justice. Or something. Muslims don't need swords, their best weapons are words and stuff. Islam is open-minded and encourages dialogue, but Muslims today are too closed-minded.

All in all, I can say this video is J.J.-endorsed. If Muslims were like this guy, I wouldn't think they were a bunch of violent lunatics. In other words, my guess is that this dude will be beheaded.

Well the world has been shed of two more Muslims tonight who were shot dead by Texas police because they decided to try and shoot up a free speech event where people were going to draw pictures of Mohammed.

Listen up Muslims just because you may be offended that people will draw pictures of Mohammed does not give you the right to try and kill them. People can draw a picture of Mohammed if they want. It is their right to do so.

So this has been an example of why Islam is hated by sane people.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/03/us/mohammed-drawing-contest-shooting/index.html

It's finally good to see one of these stories with a happy ending. Maybe since governments are more committed to ending free speech than fighting Jihadis, this demonstrates an effective way for ordinary citizens to fight Jihadis:

1. Host a Mohammed cartoon event.
2. Wait for Jihadis to show up to attack.
3. Kill them.

And since our Muslim friends here keep assuring us that such attacks have nothing to do with Islam, they should be OK with it. After all, those Jihadis being killed aren't really Muslim, right? Right?

No, kerosene burns with oxygen.  And yes, burning kerosene certainly can melt iron.  In fact, one of the best amateur systems to melt iron uses waste oil, like used automotive oil.

Basically you can consider the burn of oil to be like kerosene.

Before you guys go build 911 conspiracy theories, why not study a little chemistry, physics and math?

NOW come clean on this please.   WHERE DID THE PLANES GO?

i did came to it CHECK THE LINKS BEFORE YOU TALK

In an effort to advance this part of the thread, I watched part of the first video. It asserted Flight 93 landed at an airport in Cleveland on the morning of 9/11. Apparently that's what Netpyder believes but for some reason Netpyder doesn't want to say it. Maybe because it's nonsense. On the other hand, I get the impression that the people who believe nonsense about 9/11 think they're the smart people because they had the intelligence to question the official story. Seems like he should own it.

Edited to add: Below Netpyder says "your avatar says everything about your thoughts and hate". Since avatars change, for the record, this is how it looked at the time:


This avatar makes Netpyder vewy, vewy sad because he wants people to believe that Muslims in general and Palestinian Muslims specifically are vewy peaceful people who had nothing what-so-ever to do with any violence. Especially not 9/11. No Muslim could do or even celebrate such a thing. Inconceivable to someone like Netpyder.

Its crystal clear we have one here.

As I said before, it's fine with me if you want to believe this. You guys already believe a shitload of false things, so what's one more. Understand though, it really means you think the majority of people who support and defend Israel are Jews and being paid off. That's not only false, it's batshit insane.

If you disagree with an Israeli policy or a Jew, you're an antisemite.

...with usually baseless claims of anti-Semitism and deception.

.....The basic layout of the ad is the same as the ones placed by CAIR as part of their "my jihad" (or, in German, "mein Kampf") campaign. Some of us found those ads offensive. The CAIR ads certainly weren't neutral. The problem with sending a "peace is the answer" message is that it ignores the fact that jihadis openly do not want peace, except the peace that comes with the extermination of the Jews. Oh well. CAIR won this round. Fuck it.

CAIR lost - they lost the ability to post the offensive sicko adds because of the pushback.

They lost completely.

I am under the impression CAIR had already been able to run their ads. Is this wrong?

In any case, I'm sure if CAIR wanted to run more ads the MTA would reverse themselves. Or, more likely, simply say the CAIR ads are not advocating anything, but are just "public service announcements." It's obvious the MTA is pro-CAIR/Hamas and opposed to anyone against them.
