also... the structural steel was covered with fireproofing. That would also reduce the ability of fire to cause any kind of melting.

What about a blast-furnace setup with kerosene? That is why I wrote:
On the assumption that maybe, somehow some sort of chimney effect created a blast-furnace (elevator shafts, hallways etc). That would then lead to the question of how much kerosene/av-gas do you need to feed this "blast-furnace" for long enough to melt enough steel to get the events to jibe with the official narrative? That is working on the assumption that a kerosene/av-gas fired blast-furnace can indeed get hot enough to melt steel.
The simplest outcome for this line of questioning is that you cannot create a kerosene blast furnace capable of achieving temperatures that will liquefy steel. Once you establish that (sort of like proving a negative) you need to demonstrate that it was say the vast quantities of magnesium alloyed steel office furniture or power tools that managed to ignite that melted the steel. Something had to get to the temperature that steel goes molten, what material and how? I will accept a kerosene blast-furnace as the answer, but do not know that to be possible.
And I am too intellectually lazy to try to find some youtube video of a kerosene blast-furnace used to melt steel, do my homework for me please.

I watched a documentary on this stuff the other day. It raised some interesting points.
Kerosene doesn't burn hot enough to melt steel (av-gas is essentially kerosene). Neither does coal, but in a blast-furnace you can do it. Is it possible to use kerosene in a blast furnace to achieve temperatures high enough to get molten steel?
There's other points raised in the thing that I found interesting as well but I don't feel like speculating about it really.
I find the idea that it might have been an "inside-job" by the government to be disheartening. I'd have to see some sort of concrete evidence of something like that.
I accept the possibility that there might very well be something to the whole scenario of a cover-up, what the exact nature of what might be hidden I don't know.
Speculation on that could range from the mundane to world-shattering. There are certainly enough details to warrant keeping the door open on this.
If it's raving lunatics barking at the moon, what harm? If there actually is something to discover, again what harm?
Since I am lazy, I will sit back and watch to see what "THEY" come up with, it could be interesting.
I just hope it is something cool like Sasquatch or Aliens, not mundane like covering up a failed investment scheme involving icebergs being towed to desert areas with the intent to set up banana or strawberry farms involving multiple world governments (that's lame).
Shine on you crazy diamonds!

I had heard Buzz was supposed to go first, but Armstrong pulled rank.

That's more like it, yes. He had the necessary nerves of steel to pull off that hairy landing with 20sec of fuel left, but in terms of PR he was almost the worst choice among active astronauts at the time.

Perogies belong to a bunch of Slav countries including Poland, Ukraine and Slovakia. All the Polish people I know talk endlessly about mom and grandma's perogies. The European map has been drawn over carved up so many times, western part of Ukraine became part of Poland post WWI. Perogies I think are both their national comfort peasant food.

Unless the bay decides to flood should be ok. Just a minor leak around my chimney so far. Lots of friends lost everything. Friends along the bayou probably lost the wakeboard boat and/or boathouse I had built. Water got at least 12'+ in Dickinson Bayou which is slightly higher than Ike.
My grandmother would trim the fat off pork chops and then fry up that pork for snacking. While the kids were snacking on that she would fry up her rye bread in the renderings.
Last month my siblings met up for the day and we got our kids together to pass on the pierogi making duties to the next generation.
Made homemade noodles with the extra dough and fried them up with breadcrumps and butter. Simple pleasures from simple memories.

LOL. I love hearing them complain about Trump always golfing. Where were those criticisms during the Obama presidency? My, what short memories! Frankly, I could care less whether either of them golfed often. It's a nice way to unwind and release tension though I've never been an avid golfer.

That is what I kept saying when Obama kept going to cities to make campaign speeches for himself and others during his Presidency. Enjoy!![]()

They weren't left wing terrorists. Unless of course you think the millions who died in WW2 fighting Nazism were also left wing terrorists. And the KKK and nazis have a point?

How do you know what the replays are? I can't find bupkiss on his FB page nor his new website. I'm trying to fill in the 2017 catalog in my recordings because of various software issues. I even missed the eclipse one because I was trying to get back from Wyoming ... and my next podcast episode is going to be about modern eclipse pseudoscience!

This fundamentalist virus as you call it waxes and wanes in its visibility but jihad and world domination are essential pillars of the faith. What you see as spiritual succor, most of us 21st century infidels regard as a spiritual, political and intellectual tyranny. Any diversity of thought since the Suni/Shiite schism has been met with brutal repression. Ever hear of an Islamic Reformed Mosque? That's all just fine with me except when their 14th Century beliefs become a threat to western civilization in general and my Country in particular. This is not just an abstract polemic for me and many others.
