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

[-] Carrolade@lemmy.world 56 points 7 months ago

An enclosed space can also get hotter than the "burning temperature" of whatever fuel you are using to heat it up. Because heat keeps accumulating if it has nowhere to escape to.

For the visual learners in the room.

Get over it, find a job!

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

It can, however, make steel have the strength of playdough.

Me reading the first word of each sentence instead of the first letter

That is some Uncanny Valley bullshit right there.

 


Edit: Welp, that was weird. Not sure what I thought was Uncanny Valley–esque about this image. Don't see it now, but I did then. Fucking weird-ass brain...

I genuinely don't know what I was thinking. At the time, it did seem uncanny valley–esque.

Now, it doesnt.

What the fuck, brain?

...god damn it...

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

Was it an inside job? Probably not.

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

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

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

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 5 points 7 months ago

Weird. Sure sounds a lot like what happened on 10/7.

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Absolutely! There's never any smoking gun (that we'll ever see anyway). But every indication is Netenfuck knew an attack was coming. He has been looking for any excuse to commit genocide and wipe Palestinians of the map.

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago

No probably just outercourse on the first date.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

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?

[-] aphonefriend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 7 months ago

9/11 reference to people who think it was an inside job.

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de -1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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

[-] InputZero@lemmy.ml 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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.

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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.

[-] InputZero@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 months ago

Basically yeah. Once the floor buckled everything it supported did too, meaning a mind boggling amount of mass started moving and there's no way to stop that much mass from falling at that point.
