I mean up until 9/11 the only fires that burned in steel buildings (that were serious) were in buildings with out steel trusses.

The steel trusses are designed with summer heat in mind, and the heat from summer is not really enough to do that much expansion, unless things are poorly planed (see the train tracks I’ve posted a few times)

The steel first went to the junk yard, where they had plenty of time to look it over, as I have said already, they said they had all the time they needed with it.

the government, we should not fear the terrorist, that is what they want, we should raise the middle finger to say ‘FUCK YOU, were gona keep living like we want to live in our country’, we should have rebuilt the towers to look the same, (with a new structure design to fix the problems of the originals) and kept on going. As for the government we should fear how they will abuse the fear our nation is undergoing. Anyone see this:

Scares the Crap out of me... what we did is wrong, and punishable by death, so let’s pardon our selves under the guise of national security. I call bull shit on that. (I disagree with the death penalty, but that’s a different thread.)
