Jet fuel and office furniture burning caused massive steel I beams to fail? Help me out.

Airplanes flying into them probably didn’t help.

200 ft above? Why didnt they fail immediately? If it was force why did it take hours?

I suspect Harambe and UFOs were involved

Explosive force of an airliner structurally messing things up for starters. But what really did it was the long burning jet fuel fire that didn’t melt, but weakened the steep support beams. Once one floor went… it was a chain reaction and the building pancaked down onto itself.
I’m no fan of the Feds and love a good conspiracy theory but the towers fell on their own without explosives secretly installed before. I’m just laughing at people that think the airliners were holograms.

Are you an engineer? If not STFU.

Whatever happened to building 7? I hope they do a university study with tons of experts to get to the bottom of it.

“steel I-beams” should’ve been the dead giveaway.

There was a fire also that weakened 20 floors or so above where the force happened. The 20 floors above the lower floors, falling on the lower floors might help explain that.

Of all the conspiracies out there, the buildings imploding the way they did is not hard to comprehend. The details surrounding 9/11 merit question, but the implosion was all top down. Beginning at the point of contact.

Think of it like a pile driver…

Large fully fueled airliners plowing into them at full throttle.

What’s your theory?

Believe it or not, steel changes structural properties when subjected to heat. Try this experiment boys and girls, construct a small platform using pieces of steel legs, next add 20, 30 or 110 layers on top and begin heating up a large section with a blow torch, removing some of them to shift the loads and causing twisting motions, hit it with both large lateral and vertical loads all at the same time, etc, etc, etc

I think it's pretty crazy to think that they didn't collapse right away. Those planes at that speed crashing into something is an unbelievable force

You think when those buildings went down, the ground didn’t shake…

I bet if a seismograph was near, who knows what it would’ve registered at. Ever been around a tree when it’s cut down?
