deformation would propigate slowly and gradually from the heated end to the closest termination, effecting only those elements above

never below

and arguably 10x it's melting point would vaporize the entire rod

would you like me to show you the periodic table and the MIL-SPEC which specifies the melting capabilities of JP-5 jet fuel?

@Louis I like that idea

or would you like to remain like the Left, grasping to your narrative?

would you like me to post you that video of a metal bar being bent like a wet noodle because it had been heated to jet fuel fire temperatures?

Unironic cancer rn

lateral deformation

yes

if a building deforms laterally it's gonna fucking fall over

any skyscraper is MEANT to sway with the wind

that isn't a bug

the weight is supported AXIALLY

What about body heat

yeah but if it sways like 45 degrees it's gonna fucking fall over

like trying to crush a pencil end to end

Clearly hasn't seen skyscraper

not from the center between the two endpoints fo the pencil

except if the bar bends

some of the weight is putting on lateral stress

again, 'bending' is the center between the two endpoints of the center

delightful

axial loads are not lateral loads

basic statics/dynamics

in a perfect situation, yes

How about this noodle heads. Shitty metal. Construction companies always cut the quality.

It doesn't make sense for it to be an inside job

but this isn't a perfect situation

no, under 10x the conditions they report

bullshit

I call bullshit as well

4x

each column consists of over 50 individually bound rods which allow the support to sway laterally but also maintain axial strenght

10x those conditions would vaporise steel

further, you can't bend a rod from the top

only in the center

yes you can

are you fucking stupid?

Lol Inb4 they had used shit quality metal and the only cover up being that

get onto voice chat you noobs
