Even if there was a huge hole in the top which helped to melt steel, its not going to melt the steel evenly and over the the entire area of the building. Those buildings fell straight down into their own footprints at the speed of gravity.

P.s. Dont even read novas comments. Hes not even worth the time.

If the numa numa guy got 15 minutes - then surely you deserve it too.

I was wondering why you could pick up the red hot steel bar with your bare hands, and assumed it must not conduct heat very well. But I was worried that in the same movement, it`d just give conspiracy fans more ammo to work on. So it`s good you pointed out those properties in this vid.

While a bunch of D&D nerds will want to know how to make chain mail, armour, and stuff of that nature. Could you maybe make a video demonstrating how to make more common practical items/tools? Things you`d use every day in your garage - but don`t know the first thing about their creation. Are you going to cover the different types of metal you can/should work with as a base for your creations? Do you create your own alloys, or do you pre purchase them in units? Or do you only work with one type of metal primarily?

Also - if it`s your style or area of interest - could you demonstrate how you could use your forge/anvil to create pieces of art?

My relatives back in Finland (I live in Australia) work in wood, doing carving for sculptures, but metal interests me more.

After picking on the D&D nerds I still want to see you make a sword or dagger - it`d be like a living history lesson.

Reading up I realise that`s a lot of questions - but you`ve been answering a lot of them with accessible verbal and practical examples - which I think a bunch of us appreciate.

And good to see that the ever present percentage of retards aren`t turning you off doing your thing for the majority of us.

Batman-

Who said there had to be an even consistancy in the molten metal?

You have to imagine that with a large airsource, plenty of fuel, and metal to melt- That metal will not just sit on one story. The metal would sit and burn through the flooring until it go far enough away from the air source that the metal has time to cool.

That obviously makes it easy to imagine the metal not being consistant- but in the same respect after you burn through a few stories worth of metal, the metal would pool up, in its descent through the inner structure of the building. With the fuel present and the air supply increasing, it would be much easier to consistantly melt the larger bodies of metal since they were bordering melting point anyway.

Being a boilermaker by trade i`m finding these vids very entertaining. During my apprenticship i spent 8 months in the blacksmith shop of the shipyard were i work (sadly the shop no longer exists) and i look forward to seeing more of these.

digidante you miss my point. The buildings fell straight down at the speed of gravity. They didn`t fall to either side. That does require consistency. Also, you pulled your comment right out of your ass I think.

at Batman!-

the buildings fell straight down because that is the way that gravity is pulling them, then you ask why did they not fall to either side? you`ve just asked two sepparte questions that contradict each-other.

the free-fall speed argument depends largly on who you choose to believe, the experts in the field or the theorist`s whose claims weigh largly on the `it-just-doesn`t-look-right-to-me factor.

Also the WTC towers did not stop at the ground level, there were also several sub-basement levels - which would also increase the so-called free-fall time analysis. (and also explain your previous question of why they did not tip-over).

i`m not in the metal or construction industry, or in anyway an expert, i just cant stand other`s who watch loose change several times and claim it to be truthful & above all `research`.

also i think that your trying to assert that in order for the buildings to fail, all the supporting steel structural components would have had to all fail at a simultaneous moment, and doesn`t take into consideration the weight of the above destroyed floors weighing down on the building and the expansion, warping and in the end failure of the metal trusses and columns by the intense heat.

the architects `did` make a building to withstand alot, but the failure of the weakest point can sometimes have devastating results.

i`m actually amazed them endured as long as they did.

Ok these videos are great and everything and all this gentleman like arguing is all good but you guys are done...The engineers who built the Trade Centers themselves said what happened on 9/11 that the government is telling us is bullshit and is impossible for what we`re supposed to believe happened to them...Ok you`re done...you`re not going to argue with the fuckin people who built the god damn thing and say they`re wrong...

Damn.. I didn`t think he`d notice me. In fact I was about to bitch about it but hmm ok.

Can`t blame for being mad after the crack I made boot what southerners do late at night. Up here in Canada though we don`t have many Black people so I don`t know much aboot them.

Also normally I wouldn`t respond to stuff like common 9/11 conspiracy comments. To Batman though the buildings did not fall at near the speed of gravity which would be boot 9secs. It was actually more like 15sec. Check here:

http://911review.com/errors/wtc/times.html

As to them collapsing into their own footprint. Why shouldn`t they. It`s the most direct route down. Is there any reason other than it didn`t happen with other buildings. I don`t think there has ever been a 100 story building brought down before accidental or on purpose. Batman I am really surprised you haven`t caught this after 7years.

P.s. I don`t believe my question was answered. See I`m not racist I just like to know about ancestory and stuff. So I am curious about peoples beautiful hertiage. From this video you do not appear to be Negro but in some instance ancestory is hard to judge by looks alone. He is called a BLACKsmith.
