"Office Fires Melt Metal"...The Myth Continues

February 18, Thursday morning, a small plane hit an Austin seven story office building.
The myth continues about how office fires can melt metal.

“...We have seen how floors can collapse after metal starts melting at fire intensity so high. This is a 7 story building… …And frankly, most occupants of buildings these days know when they tell you to evacuate, there has been a plane crash, you don’t stop. You just get out as quickly as possible….”

June 30, 2009 CHEM 1411 WTC 7 PowerPoint presentation at South Texas College

(So how did I do? Heavy constructive criticism is most welcome!)

This is the first of three YouTube videos of the June 30, 2009 PowerPoint presentation I gave for my CHEM 1411 class at South Texas College (STC). The subject was on thermite and thermate and how each of their respective nano-sized variants may have contributed to the collapse of World Trade Centers 1, 2, and most especially, 7.

Entire New 13-Story Building Tips Over in Shanghai

** I thought steel & concrete buildings spontaneously turn to dust, from top to bottom @ 10 floors per second, straight down into a nice neat little pile when they unexpectedly collapse--just like 3 of them did in NY on 9/11? Oh well, those are the arbitrary laws of physics for ya! [/sarcasm] **

Entire New 13-Story Building Tips Over in Shanghai

This past Saturday, an entire apartment building in Shanghai collapsed. To be fair, the building was under construction and thus unoccupied, but it's still a minor miracle that there was only one fatality.

Sounds like there was a problem with some nearby flood prevention walls at the Dianpu River, but there's no hard evidence as to why this huge building simply fell over. Anyway, here are some sweet pictures of the architectural carnage.

National Geographic Documentary Omits Building 7

"Inside 9/11" is an Emmy winning documentary made by the National Geographic Channel. The film goes through the events of 9/11 chronologically.

Even though the film itself is two hours long, it doesn't mention Building 7 even once, as you'll see in this video clip.

The program doesn't bother to mention either the collapse or the building itself. Instead it skips straight from the North Tower collapse (10:30 AM) to 8:30 PM.

It seems just like the 9/11 Commission Report, Building 7 fails to turn up.
