Jet Fuel doesn't make the fire sustain at a temp that will take out high grade steel from what I understand.

dmk | The difference between a b-52 and b-25 is certainly substantial. I'm sorry for the error.
The difference between a 707 and 767 is not (as seen below). And it certainly doesn't negate my argument. The WTC was meant to withstand MULTIPLE 707 hits. Not just one 767.
Plus the fact that none of this changes the fact the the STEEL WOULD NOT HAVE GIVEN WAY. The jet fuel could not sustain the very high temps needed to damage high grade steel.
707 Specs

Power Four Pratt & Whitney JT3 turbojets of 10,000 pounds thrust each
Note: No standard passenger accommodation in the prototype.
767 specs
Boeing 767 Specifications
Dimensions Feet Meters
Wing Span 156.07 47.57
Wing Area (square) 3'050 283.35

Crew & Passengers 2 Crew 216 Passengers
Powerplants 2 Pratt & Whitney JT9D-7R4D 48,000 lb Thrust

There is no doubt that WTC 1 & 2 was taken down by demolitions, just like WTC 7 was.

haha...It just doesn't add up hev. But everyone is entitled to their own opinions. |

Bombs planted at the bottom would not have taken down the towers and would not have been enough to get the American public behind a war.
What doesn't add is how WTC7 was brought down with demolitions only hours after the WTC collapsed, and how building that sustained MORE damage still stand today.

This is true. But the point still remains that half of the claimed terrorists are alive and well today.
4 planes sucessfully hijacked the same day with half of the terrorists unaccounted for???
