@Olivier5,

No, you haven't explained how fires in the rubble spread down through the pulverized and compacted cement dust. You are simply saying that fires tend to spread. Also, you're not addressing my point about the fact that there were no fires in the North Tower below the impact zone. Tell me how the fire at the top of the Tower made its way to the basement levels. That part of the Tower would have ended up on top of the rubble pile and not down under all that steel and concrete in the basement levels.
Quote:Ok so we agree: only the bottom of the pile could possibly be flooded, not the whole pile. The fire was therefore not flooded.
You are the one who talked about the burning office furnishings being enclosed in pulverized and compacted cement and melting steel before its fuel was exhausted. If you believe that the three million gallons of water didn't reach the fires because the fires were so enclosed, then you have to explain how air made it to these fires. That's a problem because if there was enough air making it to this office furnishings-fire, then water did, too.
Quote:. . . and it could have in places reached temperatures high enough to melt steel. Plus the video I provided shows an enclosed steel beam wrapped up with gypsum board, aluminum, diesel fuel, etc. and put in a fire that burned for twenty-four hours without damaging the beam. I asked you if you believed that the beam would have melted if the whose setup was put in a hole in the ground and completely covered in compacted cement dust. You forgot to answer that.
NIST disagrees with you. In fact, they deny all eyewitness accounts of pools or rivers of molten metal underground. Are you with them, or do you think they're lying?
Now we can get to the issue of the physics-defying collapses of the WTCs. What would you like to say about that?
