    Jet fuel can make it soft enough to lose its ability to carry several hundred tons of load though.

        Yeah but what part? Does a plane fly into some direction because it bursts?

          It says “Jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams.” Which is true depending on the beam, but the steel beams in the WTC didn’t need to melt to fail. They just needed to be heated up to a point their yeild strength is lower than the weight of the building above it and physics takes over from there.

            The steel beams that failed in the World Trade Center were primarily the floor trusses, which supported the floors between the columns. The intense heat from the burning jet fuel weakened these beams, causing them to lose their structural integrity and ultimately leading to the collapse of the towers.

            Thanks ChatGPT lol

            So the plane crashed into the building and there was a floor carried by steel beams and those bent and caused the whole building to collapse.

    So if this were true, I know, I know, but IF it were, he didn’t even get it when he typed it out. He may still have never gone back and done what she said. And also, how did she know that he would type exactly that?

    Was it an inside job? Probably not.

    Was it orchestrated intentionally to give us a reason to attack the middle east again? Probably.

      I think the warning signs were intentionally ignored. And afterwards it was used as a reason to finish off Iraq.
