fires observed. Additionally, from the photographic evidence, just minutes after
the initial airliner impacts, dozens of still-trapped survivors were witnessed
clinging to the openings of the impact areas, pleading for rescue, or planning to
leap to their horrible deaths below. How hot could it have been if people were
able to be in the open areas of the impact holes? Certainly not hot enough for
them to grasp hold of the steel and aluminum beams, and not hot enough or
smoke-filled enough to cause them to succumb to heat related injuries or smoke
inhalation. Certainly not hot enough to be melting the soles of their shoes on the
same flooring that was supposedly heating to structural failure, and amid an
alleged 10,000 gallons of burning aviation jet-fuel, as the government contends.
The remaining fires were localized and burning themselves out and did not
spread further from their point of origin.
Most of the fuel that was feeding the smothered fire was burning was office
materials and those materials tend to burn cool, and inefficient; the dark black
smoke color characteristic of soot with a poor fuel-air mixture and thick venting
patterns proves it. Kevin Ryan, a scientist for Underwriter Laboratory’s said that
the WTC fires only reached a maximum of 250°C (500°F), and that the steel used
in the WTC construction was more than capable of handling the brief thermal
load, and he suggests an alternative method caused the collapses:
Your comments suggest that the steel was probably exposed to temperatures of
only about 500°F (250°C), which is what one might expect from a thermodynamic
analysis of the situation. The buildings should have easily withstood the
thermal stress caused by the burning jet fuel”, he said. “If steel did soften or melt,
this was certainly not due to jet fuel fires of any kind, let alone the briefly burning
fires in those towers. That fact should be of great concern to all Americans.
We know that the steel components were certified to ASTM E119. The time
temperature curves for this standard require the samples to be exposed to
temperatures around 2000°F for several hours. And as we all agree, the steel
applied met those specifications. Additionally, I think we can all agree that even
un-fireproofed steel will not melt until reaching red-hot temperatures of nearly
3000°F (2). Why Dr. Brown would imply that 2000°F would melt the high-grade
steel used in those buildings makes no sense at all.
