Meer dan 3 jaar na dato, eindelijk een goed stuk over het WTC-staal:

WTC Construction Certifiers Say Towers Should Have Easily Withstood Jet Fuel Temperatures
The following letter was sent today by Kevin Ryan of Underwriters Laboratories....Underwriters Laboratories is the company that certified the steel componets used in the constuction of the World Trade Center towers.

Last month, fire experts told Congress that about 80% of the steel was scrapped without being examined because investigators did not have the authority to preserve the wreckage.

I find the speed with which potentially important evidence has been removed and recycled to be appalling.
- Dr. Frederick W. Mowrer, fire protection engineering department
quote:
In calling for a new investigation, some structural engineers have said that one serious mistake has already been made in the chaotic aftermath of the collapses: the decision to rapidly recycle the steel columns, beams and trusses that held up the buildings. That may have cost investigators some of their most direct physical evidence with which to try to piece together an answer.

quote:
A growing number of fire protection engineers have theorized that the structural damage from the planes and the explosive ignition of jet fuel in themselves were not enough to bring down the towers… The current [FEMA] investigation is a half-baked farce…the destruction and removal of evidence must stop immediately…
- Bill Manning , the editor of Fire Engineering Magazine, in the january issue of 2002

I'd like to be able to have a set of the drawings for all of the affected buildings…I don't have that….I have not been given access.
- Ronald Hamburger, an expert in structural analysis at ABS Consulting and a director of the National Council of Structural Engineers Associations
quote:
Early tests on steel beams from the World Trade Center show they generally met or were stronger than design requirements, ruling them out as a contributing cause of the collapse of the towers, federal investigators said Wednesday....preliminary tests on some of the 236 pieces

Ik kan nog wel even doorgaan....
Of het staal de boel bij elkaar had kunnen houden is niet te bewijzen. Dat er een cover-up is wel.
