Heavy Metal

Heavy Metal
The steel from the debris of the World Trade Centers provides evidence that the buildings were demolished.

Specifically, metal tests on steel remains from the world trade center show something never before seen in building fires: reactions which caused "intergranular melting capable of turning a solid steel girder into Swiss cheese." Sulfur and other elements commonly used in high-explosives were also found. The New York Times described this as "perhaps the deepest mystery uncovered in the investigation." (this quote is contained in the following link)

As stated by the scientists who studied this phenomenon:

"A one-inch column has been reduced to half-inch thickness. Its edges -- which are curled like a paper scroll -- have been thinned to almost razor sharpness. Gaping holes -- some larger than a silver dollar -- let light shine through a formerly solid steel flange. This Swiss cheese appearance shocked all of the fire-wise professors, who expected to see distortion and bending -- but not holes"

Moreover, an expert stated about World Trade Center building 7 (the third building in the World Trade Center to collapse on 9/11):

"A combination of an uncontrolled fire and the structural damage might have been able to bring the building down, some engineers said. But that would not explain steel members in the debris pile that appear to have been PARTLY EVAPORATED in extraordinarily high temperatures" (pay-per-view); or see a cached version of the article here.

Steel does not evaporate unless it is heated to at least 5000 degrees Fahrenheit. Everyone agrees that fires from conventional building fires are thousands of degrees cooler than that.

In addition, there was molten metal running under ground zero for months after 9/11. So far, no reports of molten metal from any previous building fire have surfaced.

And while some have attempted to argue that molten metal under the Twin Towers was caused by the enormous friction created by the collapse of the 110-story giants, building 7 -- which was only 47 stories high -- seems to have experienced the same temperatures as the Twin Towers. Specifically, this thermal image of ground zero with an overlay of the demolished buildings, taken five days after 9/11, shows that the debris under building 7 (the trapezoid-shaped building at the upper right) was about as hot as under the Twin Towers. See this web page (lower left) for an explanation of the thermal image, this aerial photo showing the shape of WTC7, and the maps contained here which confirms which building is building 7 on the thermal image. The friction argument simply doesn't work, since a 47-story building cannot have experienced nearly as much friction as 110-story buildings. And remember it was building 7 which experienced partial evaporation of its steel beams.

The sulfur and other unusual chemicals, gaping holes, partial evaporation of steel, and molten metal from the trade centers are therefore very strong evidence of controlled demolition.
