I see Ras is playing with himself again
So he openly admits to changing the parameters (1,800 degree furnace vs 1,500 degree jet fuel) then shows a piece of steel that's a half inch thick. Whether or not this is the same as what was used in the buildings I don't know, I'm guess they used steel beams which is a bit thicker than a little half inch piece. Then the buildings as we all know did not fold over like he showed or how one would expect a building to, they collapsed in on themselves. This was a poor attempt to debunk anything. If you're gonna change the parameters to fit your objective then what's the point.
Structural steel is all basically the same, mostly the A36 grade variety. Basically what that number means is it has a minimum yield point of 36,000 pounds of pressure before it deforms and starts to elongate during tensile testing. The actual tensile strength has a minimum of 58,000 pounds. Where I work we tend to run a 40 yield with a 70 tensile as standard.

So the thickness of the steel has no bearing on how much weight it can hold or how which point it starts to fail? Also as I pointed out he changed 1,500 degrees to 1,800. An increase of 300 degrees. And never showed any kind of temp reading. We have to just take his word for it.

It's all about grades when it comes to steel. Basically what he was showing you is that steel loses its strength when heated. It doesn't have to melt, it just has to lose the ability to hold the load that is on it.
I think people in government knew an attack was coming. I don't think they knew exactly what would happen. The able danger operation is very damning though.

Yes. Steel does lose some of its strength when heated. But all the beams in both buildings, heated equally, collapsed simultaneously, at the same rate, at free fall speeds?
Those terrorists got real damn lucky, don't you think?
