You seem to be hinting that the towers of the WTC in NYC weren’t destroyed by two planes that were hijacked by Al Quaida terrorists? That “somebody else” was responsible for this tragedy? That disproven conspiracy theory is an insult to the people that died that day, and their surviving relatives.
The post content is literally a refutation of one of those conspiracy theories?
Did they edit it to be something entirely different, or did you have AI summarize it for you or what's going on?
No. Because the text I provided very much informs you that the source was aluminium and various other metals found at the crash site.
Ah, yes. The old, "a possible small discrepancy" leading to an extreme conspiracy that has no evidence whatsoever.
Can you explain in 1-2 sentences what you’re trying to prove ?
Nothing. I was trying to prove nothing.
Success 💯
As soon as anyone can prove to me that a fucking plane crashing into a tower (which I hope we all agree has happened) cannot possibly cause a collapse, I will start believing that conspiracy bullshit as well. In the meantime I will stick to the obvious answer.
I mean a blacksmith's forge can easily get up to 650 C and that's just powered by a small pile of coal.
It's not the coal that makes it that hot. Anybody can ignite a normal coal fire in their grill and it won't get hot enough to forge. The critical component of a blacksmith's forge is the ability to force additional air, and thus, oxygen, into the fire.
Exactly. It's not just the fuel, it's the conditions it burns in.
Molten metals, especially above a certain temperature, primarily get their color from blackbody radiation. This is not the same as burning them, which, as your quote points out was not expected to be happening. From what I've read, aluminum will glow less brightly than steel.
The steel in the towers structure didn't have to melt to cause a collapse.
First, the buildings were hit by two, fully loaded, airliners which caused substantial structural destruction.
Then the fire softened the steel to the point of collapse. Metal doesn't go from rock-solid to a liquid form in an instant.
But hey, here's the proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2TMVDYpp2Q
I thought they said the molten stuff was also glass.
They reported the WTC7 before it fucking happened. I'm not a flat-Earther or a moon landing denier, and before Covid, I wasn't an anti-vaxxer. I'm tired of being fucking gaslit about shit that happened and being dismissed as a "conspiracy nut" when pointing out how the supposed evidence doesn't add up.
So your an anti vaxxer now...? And thus a conspiracy nut now.
I'm confused, why would you be mad at being called what you are now if that's your choice.
I don't trust the Covid vaccine boosters or the flu vaccine. Do you know what negative efficacy means? The last few years has seen an actual decline in life expectancy in the US. Don't take my word for it, Google it.
