A long way before steel melts it looses much of it's structural integrity and bends whichever way force is applied to it. My grandfather used to forge horseshoes in a forge we had in a shop on the farm. The conspiracy theorists always try to say that the steel beneath the towers after their collapse was "molten". It was glowing hot for sure, both because of lots of exposure to burning jet A, and of course friction on the way down, but no proof any of it was molten. Hot steel glows long before it melts.

You've heard of a place called Africa right?

Sooo, because non-whites have participatede in racism, it's good for whites to as well?

They're saying it was a quarter million dollar "stunt."

You mean the ones who join arms/kneel with their players?

Sure, they'll just walk down the block and hire a few more NFL quality players.

A stunt, a whole stunt, and nothing but a stunt, so help me gawd.

And it looks like the Trump/Pence team is losing badly.

The towers mat have fallen fast, but not at freefall as is evidenced by the debris falling away from the buildings at freefall which is noticeably faster. Tower 7 collapsed as a result of damage from the flying debris, and from fire damage since the sprinkler system was wiped out by the damage from the other towers collapsing.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/08/us/politics/pence-anthem-colts.html While the vice president portrayed his decision as a gesture of patriotic principle, it had the distinct appearance of a well-planned, if costly, political stunt. He doubled back from a trip to the West Coast to take a seat in the stands in Indianapolis, where the 49ers — the team most associated with the N.F.L. protest movement against racial injustice — were suiting up to play the Colts. How many more would you like?

Yep, like all those caution lights, you test them on the pre-start and hope like hell you never see them again.

Trump already admitted it was a planned stunt. What an idiotic waste of time/money.

I think you can figure out it would have cost about the same. I guess you missed the point. It was a childish stunt, paid for by the taxpayer.

And we find out that the US taxpayer paid around a quarter million for this childish little "sand box" stunt. It must be embarrassing to be an American these days.

I didn't realize you hated the white race too! I thought that was only saved for immigrants or refugees. (non white of course)

Agreed on all counts. and yes, typically if you grab the yoke and make an input the F/D will throw a message up on the screen asking if you want to disengage the A/P. (I guess it assumes you may have inadvertently bumped it) Just keep moving it and it will disengage. And if you knew a bit about a flight director you wouldn't even have to fly the thing. Just push a couple of buttons and then twirl the heading bug to make a 180 to head you back toward NY, and when those huge buildings came into view as you say miles away, adjust a rate of descent to get you below 1363 feet, and get ready to meet your 72 virgins. Doesn't look all that difficult a target does it?

So Pence has chosen to go down the road of kissing Trump's sorry arse by taking his order to walk out of the Colt's game if any of the players "took a knee". I always thought he was a bit of a creep. Meanwhile people who are actually experienced enough to know what they are doing (Tillerson, Kelly, at teh moment) are about to take a walk away from the gong show that currently infests the White House. Bad career move Pence. bye, bye after the impeachment.

You'd have thought that of all people BC would know that PR doesn't vote federally. He may have been too busy monitoring CBC at the time.

Yes, I wonder how many miles of det cord it would have taken to get that little program together?

So if you need all this higher flying talent to hit a huge building, how the hell was I so lucky to hit a little narrow runway on my first solo with just over 5 hours dual instruction under my belt?

If you were a pilot you'd know it wouldn't take extreme skill to hit a huge building.

Still waiting.

Don't waste any more time until you can answer my basic question.

One of the things the conspiracists keep trying to say is that the towers fell at "freefall", yet in at least one of the videos a huge chunk breaks off of one of the towers as it goes down, and you can quite clearly see how much faster it falls, which is actually at freefall. And yes of course, what happened to all of those people in those airplanes if there were no airplanes. It's hard to wrap ones head around how people could be so easily led astray without addressing basic reality. There seems to be a segment of our society that is quite willing to be so led.

So you once again ignore a valid question. You lose again.
