I didn’t know a linear charge automatically cuts a column diagonally. Shouldn’t the caption be, a shape change placed diagonally cuts diagonally?
Any way. Thanks for proving the point conspiracists bask in their ignorance.

Its obvious that you don't need to melt the structural steel to put a building down. That doesnt change the fact that melted steel was founded on site – remember: thats a fact. The big question is: how the hell did it get there? Jet fuel is uncapable of get the temperature needed to melt the steel. What did? Curtains? Really?
I don't know. Maybe you can argue that the electrical or air system of the building is that melted thing, but there was melted something and wasnt the jet fuel with the structural steel.

The jet fuel exploded and was consumed by fire - external to the building.
Just watch the videos to see the truth.
Therefore ... your summation is incorrect.
Additionally, a building is not a blast furnace ... not even close ... and ... there was no coal to burn.

Shape charges cant cut a beam like that. You would have to cut into the beam first. To cut say 33 in steal beam a blast on one side wont cut it. You need 2 charges to act like scissors. To cut this beam you would need a thermal lance to cut into the beam to place 2 charges inside and two outside. Now i might be naive but i have a feeling if someone went into the building using thermal torches and planting explosives the people working there would have noticed. Not to mention the wires that would be running through the building

Im going to be honest never followed the 9/11 stuff because of the lack of science i saw in debates. But as far as liquid metal my first guess is most of it was the aluminum frame of the plane. Not only would liquid aluminum increase the heat as vapors miv with oxygen. Aluminum reactions create a lot of heat. And i could see that easily causing some steel to melt. I remeber they were talking about the heat in the ruble a week after its collapse that verifies we had a chemical reaction.
9/11 and the Science
of Controlled Demolitions

3WHAT ABOUT THE ALMOST FREE-FALL COLLAPSE OF THE TWIN TOWERS? The key is the “almost” modifier. If I told you I was making almost $100,000 and you found out I was making only $67,000, you’d say I was exaggerating. So stop exaggerating the collapse speed of the WTC Towers! The 80,000 tons of structural steel slowed down the collapses of the Twin Towers to about ⅔ (two-thirds) of free-fall.3 And the core collapsed at about 40% of free-fall speed, coming down last.4 According to Richard Gage: “To bring a building symmetrically down, what we have to do is remove the core columns.” But on 9/11 the stronger core columns came down last, which violates this supposed most fundamental rule of controlled demolition.
