Kleverone... you should learn facts before you present them as such. There is not one report stating that there was steel melting in any of the towers OR in the rubble....

Now I realize this has long been addressed, but I was just going to say FEMA said they found molten steel at the WTC in their report. Griff made a whole thread about it (which shouldn't be TOO hard to find).

Heating of the steel into a hot corrosive environment approaching 1,000 °C (1,800 °F) results in the formation of a eutectic mixture of iron, oxygen, and sulfur that liquefied the steel.
It is much more difficult to tell if melting has occurred in the grain boundary regions in this steel as was observed in the A36 steel from WTC 7.

Ya know, the same old subversive stuff, like MKULTRA, Paperclip, Lizard men from the planet Nibiru, Terrorstorm, Zeitgeist, and of course the "Gone with the Wind" of modern day science-- Loose Change. Pfffbt.
Project MK-ULTRA was first brought to wide public attention in 1975 by the U.S. Congress, in the form of the Church Committee, and by a presidential commission known as the Rockefeller Commission. Investigative efforts were hampered by the fact that CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MKULTRA files destroyed in 1973.

but simply because it is backed up with precident, evidence, and facts.

if it was as simple as cutting a few key beams...why is it so far outside possibility/probability to believe that a Xton piece of debris from wtc1 didnt happen to damage those same beams? i mean if its that simple it sure could have happened in the chaos of the destruction of wtc1 couldnt it?
so, which particular demo team was involved? it should be documented somewhere right? because again, no demo teams going to implode a building on a firecheifs say so, IC or not, without documenting it.

What am I misrepresenting, the steel? Because it wasn't steel anymore, after it bonded to something else that lowered its melting temperature? It's not the words we disagree on, you just refuse to see what really happened to that steel and hide in semantics.
Thermite is also a eutectic reaction. It's still melting. I don't really give a rats ass what caused it, unless there's some *new* information on how drywall supposedly melts steel.

CO,
Maybe it is you that needs to get their facts straight?
Heating of the steel into a hot corrosive environment approaching 1,000 °C (1,800 °F) results in the formation of a eutectic mixture of iron, oxygen, and sulfur that liquefied the steel.

What's that again about "not one report stating that there was steel melting" again?

Yes, you're misrepresenting your argument when you say that was steel that FEMA references. They don't. They clearly state that it's a eutectic that melted. It's not semantics. A eutectic is an entirely different substance than the previous material. This is fact and there's no way around it, sorry.
The eutectic also melted, and not the steel, which when given the above statement, you agree with me here too. So where are we in disagreement?
ThermAte has sulfur added, which helps lower the melting point of steel by forming the exact eutectic seen in the FEMA sample. Maybe this is what you mean? Again, there's a difference, and no, it's not just semantics.
I was clear before in another thread that SO2 gas from all the burning rubble would supply the sulfur needed for the sample in FEMA.

There was actually video footage of molten steel at ground zero. I am looking for it now in my archive. Someone stuck a camera down in a whole and filmed the red hot molten steel. This was during the recovery op. A day or two after the collapse.

Assuming there was, what temperature would that reaction between the steel and sulfur have to have to take place?
