I just dont understand why the elevator floor signs were still intact but the steel holding up the structure gave way. If 10000 gallons of jet fuel didn't melt this elevator sign then the steel structure should of stayed intact.

That's correct. As an architect, I can asure you all that steel could had never been melted and pulverized. The fire caused by jet fuel does not reach the melting level of steel. That's the reason the floor signs remained intact.

@ATITANIC1992 I have just as much argument and knowledge as you. Look at crash test studies watch what happens and listen to what they say.

[rebel937]

@ATITANIC1992 LMAO ok you get a pile of furniture, and plenty of flammable stuff, and make it burn without oxygen. Make a video of it. Either way the black smoke shows there was more smoldering than raging flames or as you put it an "incomplete" fire.

[ATITANIC1992]

@rebel937 It made you look like a dumbass. A lack of fire is when there is plenty of Oxigen, but insufficent flammable stuff. Lack of oxygen is the direct opposite, and this wads the case in WTC.

[ATITANIC1992]

@rebel937 you have no argument, and no knowledge. "90 %" of a jetliners fuel just dissapeared in seconds during impacts. You make up crap. How silly

[rebel937]

@ATITANIC1992 Well I DO know fire needs oxygen to burn, so obviously if there was lack of oxygen then pbviously the fire wasnt burning too hot. Your comment just made you look like a dumbass.

[ATITANIC1992]

@rebel937 black smoke (Carbonmonoxide, CO) show lack of oxygen, not lack of fire. CO is produced in an "incomplete" fire. Smashing the windows fed the fire. That just proves how wrong you are.

[rebel937]

@ATITANIC1992 Where do you come up with this crap? 90% of the fuel burned up on impact you can see that with the ball of fire on the OUTSIDE of the building. There were people who made it out from ABOVE the impact area and have said 2 or 3 floors below impact it was all normal, still had electric, there was no smoke or fire. There are Fire fighter radio recordings from the floor of impact saying there were 2 pockets that could be knocked down with 2 lines. Black smoke shows lack of fire.

[ATITANIC1992]

So obviously there were NO explosives pre-installed. I'm not saying the government some kind of contributed to the attack or not, but the collapse of WTC was NOT caused by pre-installed bombs.

[ATITANIC1992]

1. The large arliners wings cut a lot of the bearing columns leaving the structure very weak, yet still loaded with 30-40 large floors above

2. 1000s of gallons highly flammable jet fuel explode creating further damage to the structure.

3. The fuel enters the floors below, fire spreads up, turning everything into an inferno. Paper and computers produce toxic smoke. The elevator shafts work like a chimney, aiding the spread of fire.

4. Temperatures reach the extremes.The steelstructure is doomed

[ATITANIC1992]

@jackiechan511 Simply because the steel columns had a great load on it. The extremely high temperature did not melt the steel but weakened the steel to collapse. The elevator sign didn't carry a load on it, but got bent anyways.
