It’s pretty crazy. I was a metal worker for many years. I know it doesn’t take much for solid metal to weaken by heat (IE Acetylene torch). A friend of mine on FB posted a link to a ‘study’ saying that fires didn’t cause WTC 7 to collapse. I really wanted to point out that this ‘study’ was funded by conspiracy theories.
I’m no CTer by any means but I started running cutting torches when I was fifteen and went on to be the machinist and support shop(welders, electricians) super for a Naval battalion. A cutting torch on the low end should be 4K+ with the normal cutting temp being 6,000 degrees.
I’m just saying that’s not a particularly strong argument for heat weakening steel. You’re just saying a tool that’s specifically made to cut steel…. Easily cuts steel. No offense.
