Re: Building Doesn't Fall by Fire???
a simple experiment.... take a can of red bull ( empty ), hold it with both hand using ur thumbs at the bottom and index finger at the top and try to squash it... i,m guessing u can't... but now slightly squash in the side of the can and do the same as u did before.... the whole structure collapses very easily.... this is how the twin towers came down
Bing - fucking - OOOOOOOOOO
It was fun while it lasted...Comment

Maybe you should get your meccarno set out build a 10 x 10 structure bolted together and add some cross frames and strengthening brackets and take a blow touch to it LOL
And your can of Red Bull won't fall into its foot print either.Comment

Re: Building Doesn't Fall by Fire???
my point was that just how pliable steel becomes when it gets heated and the weight it is bearing is the pressure... of course it would buckle.... oh and i just know ur gonna come back with well buildings of a similar nature have burned and not fallen... probably because those buildings were made recently with higher grade steelComment

Only your can of Red Bull is made of Alluminum and completely hollow, put some steel rod's inside it and you're back where you started.

you're missing the point... its a solid structure that has had its structure rigidity compromised at the sideComment

Re: Building Doesn't Fall by Fire???
no i,m not but the point is that is stainless steel which is harder than normal steel and to twist it between them they are putting well below a quarter of a ton in pressure between them... its quite a thick piece as well

Re: Building Doesn't Fall by Fire???
I find the red bull can analogy absurd, the only way you can squeeze a can in such a way is with your thumb AND finger ie, you are applying pressure from both sides simultaneously. As you say the building was damaged at one side, though i'd dispute the structure of the building was damaged at all. For the tin can theory to hold water you'd have to "squeeze" it with the end of one finger from one side, and not simultaneously use your thumb. Try that.Comment

Re: Building Doesn't Fall by Fire???
Ok lets do your tin pot experiment. You get yourself a Heinz Beans can, empty it, put a dent in one side, then using ur thumbs at the bottom and index finger at the top and try to squash it. Upload it on youtube and post it here in the next 12 hours and I will donate £50 through the MS donate tab. If however you cant you should agree to pack up your shit and go away, not just to day forever. LOLComment

my thumb and fingers can't make thousands of tons of pressure created by tons and tons of steel and concrete... you obviously missed the pointComment

this is my point exactly... and when u damage the can on one side the can when squeezed falls in on itself from the top... honestly try itComment

Re: Building Doesn't Fall by Fire???
The word squeeze, by definition, means simultaneous pressure from more than one side. If you can uniformly squash your tin with one finger then i'll accept your theoryComment
