Reply #27: To heat or not to heat...... [View All]

To quote the honorable Bolo on...
Wed Jul-07-04 12:12 AM
"the edges of the building maintained a living temperature level while the center was red hot."

That is why
Bolo ol' buddy.....
I ask you to consider this.
Assuming 2 objects of different temperatures are touching one another.......
Heat will flow from the warmer object to the cooler one....

Remember how the Twin Towers were constructed......
The perimeter walls were connected to the inner columns via the trusses....

That "red hot center" would be transferring the heat to these cooler trusses and perimeter walls.
And according to your theory they had to be cooler..

Because......

What were the people who survived until the collapse standing on Bolo?
That right.
A floor.
And embedded within these concrete floors are those same steel trusses......
And Bolo, my friend , concrete is a damn good conductor of heat.

I guess for these people to be alive at the perimeter(at the time of collapse) the temperature could not have been more than 40'C or 50'C ....whatever it was ...it had to be well short of the 500'C centigrade needed to soften that steel....

Looks like we a have another 9/11 paradox on our hands.

Remember..the greater the temperature difference....
The more the heat will flow.
The less the thickness.....
Then the heat flow will increase.....
I would say that those steel trusses were comparatively thinner
than the inner columns......wouldnt you......?

So where is that heat from the 500'C inner column gonna go Bolo......
Thats right.
Straight to those people "on the perimeter".

You cant have it both ways.
If the people survive until the time of collapse......
There can be NO COLLAPSE DUE TO HEAT.

Only if there are NO PEOPLE ALIVE at the time of collapse....
Can the building have a remote chance to collapse "due to heat".

I am afraid that your beloved fairy tale is in a twist.

And that is why.....
The FEMA report and the NIST "interim" report are discounting one variable......
The people who survived(until collapse).
You want proof.......
Here goes...

According the holy NIST report.........
"One of the more unusual fire spread episodes in WTC 1 occurred just after the collapse of WTC 2 around 9:59 a.m. Within a couple of minutes, a large intense fire suddenly appeared on the south side of the west face on FLOOR 104 in an area well above any other apparent fire.This unusual jump in fire location is difficult to explain, but is likely associated with vertical shafts located in the core of the tower."

And this is what the NIST "analysis" misses out...

104TH FLOOR
Andrew Rosenblum, victim
Cantor Fitzgerald

Andrew Rosenblum was a stock trader and vice president at Cantor Fitzgerald who led a team on the 104th FLOOR of 1 World Trade Center.
His LAST CALL WAS AT 10:23 a.m., and he spoke for 1 minute.
Jill Rosenblum(his wife) told this story:
"They weren't panicking. You heard a couple people saying, "Oh my God." Then we lost our connection. That was maybe two minutes before 2 World Trade Center fell. I watched on T.V. as 2 World Trade Center fell. It never occurred to me that these buildings would fall."

That fire on the 104th(which started at 9:59am) must have spread pretty quick Bolo.......
Because also according to Jill Rosenblum...
"It's a big open area with just long desks and chairs. There's really no offices. Except one or two corners of the room. One was in the northwest corner. He(Rosenblum) and about 50 other people ran into this corner office because their floor had filled up with smoke relatively quickly. "

Yet Andy Rosenblum and 50 other unfortunate people managed to survive just by hiding in a corner office....for 27 minutes! ....strong enough to resist the same heat that was simultaneously softening those inner steel columns and the "roof hat truss"....

Keep on defending the 9/11 paradoxes Bolo........
We are enjoying it whilst it lasts.
