By the way, if the WTC attacks had been a government conspiracy
as well, they would have easily loaded the cargo holds of the
aircraft with high explosives to further guarantee that the
buildings would collapse. As it is, the buildings actually had a
fair chance of standing up - it was only because that there was
enough combustible fuel to melt the steel reinforcements that the
buildings collapsed.
Believe it or not, the WTC was actually designed to be able to take
the impact of a crashing jumbo jet. However, the architects and
engineers didn't really consider the impact that burning jet fuel
can have.
Steel reinforcement being able to take up to 200 deg Celsius? I
don't think so. As far as I can tell, steel melts at temperatures
between 1500 - 2000 degrees, depending on the alloy composition.
And it doesn't even need to melt in this case - all that is
required is for the steel to weaken (steel starts to lose its
strength at around 700 deg, if I recall correctly). And in
addition, as I mentioned earlier, it's not much of a stretch to see
that high temperatures of over 2000 deg can be reached in the
immediate vicinity of the crash.
And also, it would have been more likely for them to want to
INCREASE collateral damage had it been a government conspiracy.
This would then further increase world sympathy towards them and
make the justification for the War on Terror far easier. And it's
not like there was no collateral damage at all - 7 World Trade
Center collapsed a little while later from the seismic shock of the
collapse of the Twin Towers.
Besides, to assume that the US government would want to strike the
economic heart of America and potentially bring the American
economy down on its knees just to justify a war on terrorists
doesn't make sense. For the US to want to go after the terrorists,
they would have to have the resources to do so - and resources can
only come with a strong economy.
It's just like how it makes no sense that Roosevelt allowed the
Pearl Harbor attack to occur in 1941 to justify a war with the
Japs. It just doesn't add up that he would want to risk America's
greatest weapon against the Japanese - the US Pacific Fleet - in
order to go after them.
