Not everyone agrees with Manning’s criticism.From whatreallyhappened.com:

There may have been criticisms of the investigation but the steel was investigated. It wasn’t spirited away and it wasn’t hidden. Experts looked at it and found nothing suspicious.
Who is misrepresenting the physics?Alright, I'll let this one go for now.
They misrepresent the physics of fires. 911research.wtc7.net points out their flaw:

So I went to the website of Corus Construction Co, and found a section in their Research area that said this about the difference in temperatures between steel and atmosphere:
"With regard to steel temperatures, these depend upon the size of the member but for typical unprotected beams and columns these would lag behind the compartment temperatures by around 100°C to 200°C."
So the tests that the conspiracy theorist cited only had atmospheric temperatures ranging around 800-900 degrees, while the Popular Mechanics article (and NIST report) mentions that pockets of the World Trade Center reached 1800 degrees. This would put the steel temperature in those locations at around 1600-1700 degrees, which is far above the 1100 degree mark that steel loses 50% of its structural integrity.
I just thought it was a pretty striking example of dishonesty….”
Your sources are always poorly researched, dishonest or both.
What? Bad science aside, you posted a link to a story of a bridge that collapsed after a gas tanker crashed.I'll see if I can get it clarified.
Again, I'll attempt to get answers here.
If fires were the only things involved, what seems clear is that the steel wouldn't have even softened.
ABOLHASSAN ASTANEH, University of California, Berkeley " In both of them, basically, the fire was the reason why steel got soft and weak and collapsed.”
Take your blinkers off and think about what you are saying Scott. If the steel could be softened there and the Madrid Tower then surely it's possible that it could be softened by the fires on 9/11.
Typical conspiracy theorist. When presented with evidence from an expert you instantly claim that he was paid off. If you do some searching on Abolhassan Astaneh you will see that he even had of criticisms of the investigation, although they were minor. He is far more qualified than Jones to speak on these matters and he found no evidence for explosives.Ok. Perhaps he didn't really look into the story. Or perhaps he was promised some sweet deals like Van Romero has gotten after 9/11.
