"Bjørnar Bolsøy" wrote in message ... Alan Minyard wrote in Looking at the video of the south tower impact, doesn't the huge fireball outside the building seem to suggest that much, if not most, of the fuel burned up on the outside? The fuel on the aircraft perhaps but the trouble is there was large fuel load in the building in the form of furniture, carpets, paper computers etc. The fireball ignited all of that fuel simultaneously and the impact destroyed fireproof partitions and knocked the fireprrofing off the floor struts. It was the heat from the subsequent fire that cause those struts to fail. Once they had done so the bracing between the outer wall and inner core that was essential to the strength of the building was lost and outer skin failed in buckling. The damager inner core was unable to tale the extra stress and also failed. This sequence can be clearly seen in the video footage. Keith |
