An extensive inquiry by the National Institute of Standards and Technology into the collapse of the twin towers found the planes severed and damaged support columns and dislodged fireproofing. Around 10,000 gallons of jet fuel were spewed over many floors starting widespread fires. Temperatures of up to 1000C caused the floors to sag and the perimeter columns to bend, causing the sounds of “explosions”.
The massive weight of the floors dropped, creating a dynamic load far in excess of what the columns were designed for. Debris was forced out of the windows as the floors above collapsed. “The Twin Towers collapsed because the aircraft fuel ignited the contents of the building and it was the burning of the contents of the building which caused the steel columns to lose stiffness,” Dr Knapton said. “UK buildings are much more robust, or tolerant of losing structural capacity than the Twin Towers.”

The apartment block was built in the early 1970s at a time when strict new building regulations had come into effect to ensure high rises would not fall down in the event of a blast or major fire. The regulations were introduced following a deadly gas explosion at the Ronan Point high-rise in East London. It marks the only time a block of flats in London has collapsed. Emeritus professor of structural engineering at Newcastle University, Dr John Knapton, who advised insurers Lloyds of London in the wake of the Twin Towers terrorist attack, said: “I don’t think this building will collapse because in 1968, a block of flats at Ronan Point in East London partly collapsed as a result of a gas explosion in a kitchen,” The Telegraph reported. “As a result of that, the design of tower blocks in the UK changed from about 1971 onwards.” From then on, the design had to allow for an explosion or a fire to remove part of the supporting structure and for the building to remain standing. Dr Knapton said that if “Ronan Point (had) not happened, Grenfell Tower would have collapsed by now”.

>implying the fact a plane flew directly into the building didn't cause structural damage
You don' need to be anywhere near the melting point of steel for it to lose it's structural integrity btw
Dominic Butler
steel vs reinforced concrete
>WTC 1, 2, 7 All steel support structure, collapsed from fire
>Windsor Tower in Madrid Reinforced concrete core with steel outer shell and trusses. Steel collapsed, core survived.
>Beijing Cultural Center, Grozny City Hotel, Grenfell Tower All reinforced concrete, survived fire
Steel sucks.

No jet fuel was present in WTC7 though flight 93 was supposed to hit 7

>government buildings They were commercial office buildings, there were only a handful of government offices leased in any of the buildings (for example, 37 of WTC7's 47 floors were rented by Salomon Brothers investment bank, 3 by Hartford Insurance, 3 by American Express, the rest were smattering of federal, state, and local government offices)

According to the official version of events, flaming debris from the burning Twin Towers flew into the 47-floor skyscraper — sparking blazes all over the building — until it finally came crashing down after seven hours. The National Institute of Standards and Technology concluded that the heat generated by the infernos brought the tower down — making it the first and only steel skyscraper in the world to collapse because of fire.

Shill?
Michael Green
is that how buildings work?
they just totally sucumb at free fall speeds?
pretty sure there are a bunch of botched takedowns where the building stops falling and then either topples over from that point or stays crooked if every level of charges dont sever the columns in order
its almost like there is hundreds of YT incidents of this
but yet, 1 floor collapsing would then some how increase the weight that every floor under it was already sustaining for decades prior
its almost like this theory goes against fucking vertical buidling possiblities in the first place
Elijah Brooks
come on brit, i know u can sense sarcasm
Dominic Davis
>its almost like there is hundreds of YT incidents of this Really, can you show me the link of the video where they crashed a jet liner in to a 104 floor building and let it smolder?

Christian Walker
there was literally a fucking plane that crashed into a building and it never collapsed, there was also a plane that hit a NY building too, the pitcher for the yankees
Robert Turner
I am not sure you fully understand potential energy. The power used to propel the plane at max throttle turned into kinetic energy on impact, a thousand tons of aluminium is still a thousand tons plus engine power hitting the building.
Josiah Cook
Nope.
The official NIST report cites "Fires from office equipment". >Muh jetfuel
Anthony Morris
still waiting on that link user
Robert Gutierrez
Steel isn't flamable but it still absorbs heat. The coals of a fire are the hottest bit you know, so consider that the steel was right where everything is hottest and stays hottest for longest.
Andrew Barnes
i want these obvious racist women hater trump supporters to please leave
the goverment quickly shipped all evidence off to china via ships and then about 7 years later NIST came up with some not so convincing charts and diagrams to explain things
whats the problem
Ryder Edwards
just like when a fucking bird is flying in the sky and that kinetic energy comes into contact and grounds the plane because it dents the fucking frame so much
Nearly all jet fuel would evaporate in the first explosion Christ how are burgers this retarded
Jordan Hughes
No, NIST said it was (((thermal expansion)))
Michael Bailey
no jet fuel in building 7

No matter how hard you try to focus on WTC 7, they always, always, *always* re-frame to "muh jet liner" hoping you'll forget. Nope.

wtc7 had all the juicy IRS and FBI documents in the clinton-investigation.The two towers were just the smoke and mirror to cover the wtc7 demolition.

Fine. What about WTC 7.

This is why jews control your country you gullible fucks.
Mason Nguyen
Stop being stupid. The Planes that hit the WTC were specifically chosen because they were non-stop coast to coast flights...laden with fuel. Secondly, there are tunnels underneath both towers and building #7. All that splashed burning fuel is now being fed oxygen from below...like a blast furnace, you know those furnaces that they use fire in to melt iron and make steel.

Plane crashes at top of building. Building loses it's structural ingegrity all the way down to the first floor afer about an hours worth of fire.

you mean the subway tunnels which are sealed off from above?
oh so the fuel soaked all the way thru huh?
i guess its a good think the sprinkler system didnt kick on or else it would have flooded the entier building
maybe thats why london doesnt have sprinkler systems

Sorry guys I passed some gas and blew it up. I had two spicy burritos and it collapsed the buildings.
Jayden Turner
those pesky office materials on every floor causing thermite-like severing of each floor in exactly 30 foot lengths that easily fit on trucks to place onto barges for shipping promptly out of the country
Ayden Butler
I just said here people who expected the building to collapse are as retarded as people who believe WTC fell because of the planes. Retards have no nationality.

nice ad-hominem strawman gaslighting there
Jace Torres
Why is this even a subject?
WTC7 collapsed due to controlled demolition, and that's it.
>ohhh noooo some office chairs are on fire >PULL IT
Aiden Brooks
its simple logic
if the building didnt fall down the second the plane hit it its lies
911 was a inside job and this fire now is going to blow the lid off

They control kikewood
Kikewood is americas greatest power, stronger than any bomb because it controls the minds of every normie on the planet. You know ISIS is run by americans because they never kill celebrities or try and bomb the oscars or VMAs, they don't snipe beyonce or kanye west or try and behead the actors from the avengors or any of the leftie talk show hosts. Because a dog doesn't bite the hand that feeds it.

Concrete is both cheap and ugly (hence the flammable panels on the outside)
A tower in glass and steel is expensive and aesthetic

So if I take a lead bullet and throw it in your face, you'll probably say ouch and maybe bleed a little bit. But if I shoot that same lead bullet at your face, according to your own retard logic the same thing will happen. You morons seem to forget that plane was tavelling at almost the speed of a bullet. In fact it was flying past it's designed limit, suggesting it was an aircraft modified for the military.

Jet fuel is diesel you fucking moron. That's what the aviation industry calls it because it's used in jets.. It's not some super special fuel. Nice try.

Firefighters spray water. They don't even need a high school diploma. This was clickbait.
