To those who believe WTC 7 didn't fall due to fire, how did it fall?

Dohnjoe

Straightforward enough, explain what alternatively caused the building to collapse with normal evidence, sources and information (not infowars, conspiracy sites and random blog stuff please)

Since I have a long history with this whole 911 thing, it's highly likely that individuals may attempt to divert or deflect back to attacking the NIST or details - many other threads cover that, this is a thread about alternative theories and looking at the supporting evidence behind those theories

The bullsh/t you post is moving beyond the realms of ridiculous at this point! Every claim you have made has been shown to be a lie, every piece of "evidence has ben shown to be a lie!

Yet here you are yet again attempting to worm your way out of it by making a ridiculous claim. You're not worthy of anymore attention simply because EVERYTHING you post is a lie

A worker with no hands and legs standing in a yellow liquid is more believable for you then it's just a reflection of one of the workers?

To coin a phrase you often use "are you blind?"

Its a worker standing there cutting a beam, the "yellow liquid" you (choose to) see is not liquid at all but sparks flying from the cutting tool (im guessing acetylene torch) in front of him.

Hold the phone.

So thermite/thermate caused the building to collapse and melted the steel.

That same thermite/thermate caused the now liquified steel to stay molten for over 6 weeks. The evidence for this is the unused thermite found at the scene.

How does unignited thermite (nano or otherwise) also cause steel to remain molten? Surely it would have to burn to keep the metal liquid?

Is this Schrodinger's Thermite?

Oh and to your earlier point, the insulating properties of rubble seem pretty incredible, why are we all bothering with researching insulating materials when plain old chunks of concrete can keep temperatures at > 1500 C without any fuel source ?

I don't rule out there was a combination of explosives and nano-thermite used to break the steel and connections and the building fell down.

Listen Professor Harrit and other scientists have discovered Unignited nano-thermite particles in the WTC dust. So it highly likely there was lots of nano-thermite particles Unignited still left on the steel, the concrete and girder connections.

I clearly said the heat in the rubble kept the molten steel liquified until it was unearthed and exposed to the elements cold, air and rain.

Apologies. I was temporarily posting nonsense to highlight the sort of "make it up on the spot" faulty logic we are dealing with. Some of us have been doing this for over a decade. This one is especially bad and I often wonder if the thread is being trolled.

So these unignited particles cant have contributed anything to keeping the steel molten in the aftermath....so what did?

"heat in the rubble" doesnt mean anything though.
Heat doesnt just sit there like a brick, it trys its best to go warm up colder places. Thats why air conditioning is a thing.

Whats causing this heat, what fuel source is maintaining it at 1500C?

At the moment your argument is circular. The heat melted the beams and the beams are kept molten by the heat.
If thermite caused the initial heat we have 2 options:
1) it caused the heat by burning and is now burnt
2) it didnt burn and was found in the debris and hence caused no heat

so unless there were buckets loads of thermite about the place, simple logic is defeating you.

OK its a reflection.

1) What is he reflected in?
2) Why is there a big mirror in the middle of the rubble?
3) Isn't there a big f-off girder in between this man and his reflection?
4) What state of the art material can show a perfect reflection through a big cloud of "molten steel smoke" and the distortion that would be present through 1500C air temperatures?

No...
NO...
They did not, indeed they could not confirm any such thing as their study was flawed at the outset by the use of aluminium mounting media.
The Harrit study is hokum.

So after investigating the steel it was concluded that

Evidence of a severe high temperature corrosion attack on the steel, including oxidation and sulfidation with subsequent intergranular melting, was readily visible in the near-surface microstructure. A liquid eutectic mixture containing primarily iron, oxygen, and sulfur formed during this hot corrosion attack on the steel.
...
The thinning of the steel occurred by high temperature corrosion due to a combination of oxidation and sulfidation.
...
The unusual thinning of the member is most likely due to an attack of the steel by grain boundary penetration of sulfur forming sulfides that contain both iron and copper.
...
liquid eutectic mixture containing primarily iron, oxygen, and sulfur formed during this hot corrosion attack on the steel.

Can any of the experts tell me what could have caused this to happen ?

If I missed it in this thread then pointing me to the relevant post would suffice

There are 3 people in that photo. "Standing in fire"? Nope looks plainly like a man cutting something with an acetalyine torch, thermic lance or similar

Shot in lower light, appears brighter

Of course if you believe that is "molten steel" in that photo, feel free to support it

The steel problem was “solved” by NIST by excluding most of the steel from being systematically examined for failure modes and heat excursions. The steel collected by the Port Authority, which has been stored in Hangar 17 at JFK Airport, was not included in the investigation except for 12 pieces. Of the 236 pieces that NIST possessed, many were excluded based on the circular argument that only columns from impact and fire floors were of interest in the investigation. Thus, NIST avoided having to discuss 51 of its 55 core columns. Sample 1 from FEMA’s Appendix C was also excluded.

Ohh quite the thorough investigation one would expect after such a disaster :rolleyes:

It clearly to us it's reflection.

They can't see this is a reflection of this person. The way the arm is positioned it same as the picture above. And he looks down!

That is difficult ..Even NIST is not a credible investigation ... I mean if joe public needs to point out their flawed conclusions over and over resulting in NIST having to revise their conclusions .... Their whole collapse theory on wtc7 is based on a hypothesis.

Some good work is done out there in regards to finding out what happened ... problem is that research is expensive, physical evidence was hastily disposed off ...I dont even blame NIST for bringing out that shoddy report .... but I dont take it as gospel

That is your subjective opinion

flawed conclusions over and over resulting in NIST having to revise their conclusions

There are thousands of people (AE911) dedicated to discrediting the report, to date I haven't seen any of their points standing up to expert scrutiny (despite sounding convincing to the lay-person) If you have chosen to buy into their arguments that's your choice

Plenty of NIST threads here where you can express that

Some good work is done out there in regards to finding out what happened

Can you cite examples of this?

Well if NIST knowingly left out important stuff that needed to be investigated ... if they refuse to share their data that supports their hypothesis with the excuse it jeopardizes national safety (despite no new building regulations where implemented after office fires brought down a skyscraper apparently ) that discussion belongs here

There are plenty of alternative theories ... you want conclusive evidence that support those theories .... You and I are here long enough to realize such evidence is not there ...Im not saying there isn't any evidence out there

Cheerful any progress on finding those examples of thermite etc being used to demolish skyscrapers? Then use them to show how they had rivers of molten metal that stayed hot for months?

Not sure why that's taking you so long.

Could you also explain how you think steel can remain molten at temperatures below 1500 degress C?

It can't be caused by explosives, so that means that that conspiracy is debunked... right?

If the report was of sufficient quality why are there people out there with more knowledge then you and I tearing it apart

No thanks. This thread is about alternative theories.

There is no alternative theories to explain this fact.
It disproves one of the most popular conspiracy theories as it's not a feature of explosive demolition.
I would wager it's not a feature of a thermite demolition either.

GreeBo Do you not see this is steel? Steel at the twin towers was painted with red primer paint.

You can even see the see the steel was ripped to shreds and folded back.

No, just often times your posts become unreadable, like the above statement: "seek refuse"?

Again, you're being a bit of a hypocrite here. If you aren't interested in discussing the alternative theories, why are you asking your question here?

Why not on engineering forums where you might get a complete and detailed answer from an expert?

I think this is another case of you doing a fly by posting and you'll be gone again in a few pages...

Any comments on Cheerful's theories? Do you believe that it was nanothermite?
