Lizzie - Here's why the "inside job" story doesn't work for me:

Unless it was handled by Fu Manchu and his minions there would have had to have been too many people to pull it off without the story getting out. You don't seem to be willing to adress that issue. I suspect I know why.

FYI - I worked in the industrial metals industry for 16 years. I am not a metalurgist. But I worked closly with dozens of them for many years. I had to prove that what I sold met their standards. One of them was a highly respected member of the industry board that wrote the specs for industrial metals. What the chemistry of a particular metals consisted of and more importantly - what test results had to be met to make sure a metal qualified for usage.

When this whole "inside job" malarky gor started I asked the folks I was in contact with what they thought about it. Many laughed. That all thought there was nothing to it. One put it this way : "Hey - crackpot crave attention". Now I could trust your experts that you found making videos on youtube or I could trust men and women I've worked with and trusted. Guess what I decided to do?


Here's what a lot of your experts seem to ignore , pass over or not consider:

There is a big difference between the temps that a metals melts at vs the temp it will fail at. Metal will fail long before it melts.

Testing standards for metals can be deceiving. Metals are often tested using a 1 inch diameter test bar. A 40,000 test of a 1 inch test bar means a 20 inch OD bar can test at 24,000. It was never intended to meet 40,000. But that's how the metals industry grades materials - IF it performs this way at 1 inch it should be OK under this application. Are you familiar with tensile, yield and elongation tests? Charpy V notch tests? Heat treating tests and standards?

When you heat metal it changes the physical characteristics. It becomes something different. No one intended for these metals to sit in a fireball for extented periods of time. Because when they do - they change. And fail.

I'm sure you'll gloss over what I have to say or ignore it compleatly. That's your right. But whenever this trial is over it won't prove a thing to anyone who has already made up their mind.

After all - have you considered that it might have been the tri-lateral commision that was behind it? Or SPECTRE? My money is still on Fu Manchu in cohorts with Professor Moriarty.
