Give this man a medal. In just two minutes, blacksmith Trenton Tye of Purgatory Ironworks uses science to hilarious effect to mock 9/11 truthers who insist the 2001 terrorist attacks were a conspiracy. And why are these nutters convinced the whole thing was an inside job? Because fire can’t melt steel (Seriously, read through that entire 9/11 conspiracy theory thread. It is amazing.) Tye, a professional metalworker based in Georgia, has had enough. He filmed the following video to prove to science-hating 9/11 conspiracy mongers once and for all that structural steel will absolutely lose its structural integrity if it gets too hot: “So I am taking time out of my busy day to try to put to rest one of the more moronic things I have seen on the Internet lately, and that’s saying something,” Tye tells the camera. “‘Jet fuel only burns at 1,500 degrees and since steel melts at 2,700 degrees, 9/11 was a conspiracy!'” “What I am upset about is the retarded metallurgical things that you guys are saying. I’m not arguing the facts,” Tye says. “Jet fuel does in fact burn at 1,500 degrees. Some carbon steels will start melting at 2,300 degrees. But if you hold this up as a reason for conspiracy, you are an idiot!” To prove his point, Tye compared the structural strength of a room-temperature piece of steel to the strength of one that had been heated to 1,800 degrees in his workshop’s furnace. “It’s very hot, but not melted,” Tye notes by tapping the piece of steel on an anvil. “Half-inch solid steel. Check it out,” Tye says as he bends the solid steel rod back and forth using only his pinkie finger. “It’s a freakin’ noodle!” “Your argument is invalid. Get over it!” Tye exclaims as he drops the mic by dropping the glowing steel rod. “Find a job!” We salute you, Trenton Tye. You are a real American hero. Godspeed. Poster Comment: The usual cast of simpletons over at Liberty's Flame are hailing this ass-clown as an "expert" in building construction and structural design and that this video proves once and for all that the Official Narrative is true. Kevin Ryan has an excellent rebuttal here :

Interesting on how he takes the rod out and hit it straight on against the anvil before he proceeds to bend it. If his theory is accurate, then only the tops of the buildings would have fallen leaving the rest of the structures standing up and for his theory to be accurate, a massive pinky would be needed to bend it the way he makes it out to bend under massive heat. For his theory to work, the fire would have been so massive, which it wasn't to affect an entire floor or 2, heated equally or almost at high temperature. He doesn't take into account the massive amount of asbestos that would have helped reduce the amount of heat directed toward the reinforced rods holding up the building. Now, if the author was to make a square of highly heated rods placed exactly as the towers were built and apply a slab of concrete on top to prove his point, he might be credible. Beyond that, just another joe plumber, no credibility and simple minded one track mind.
