Just like the people that insist that jetfuel burning couldnt have brought down the WTC towers as it burns at a lower temp than steel melts? I've had engineers tell me this - I guess they're short on the real world experience: I've bent 1" forged steel bars with nothing more than a cresent wrench (and a torch to bring the steel to 900 or so degrees). People can't look at metallurgical data and see that steel loses 1/2 its strength by 900 degrees. Oh, and assuming the government was behind the 9/11 attacks is saying the same government that brought you the DMV was capable of of planning and executing such a conspiracy with no one talking about it. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
