Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

AFAIK petrol/kerosene etc can only burn when it comes into contact with air/oxygen - so if you have a bucket of petrol and chuck in a match it'll burn off the top layer and work it's way down [albeit furiously so I wouldn't want to stand too close]. Bearing in mind the sheer quantity of kerosene held in such aircraft I believe that not all would have been burnt off as there would have been an oxygen dearth at the point of ignition to ignite so much fuel (i.e. a lack of fresh oxygen to replace that which was burnt up) hence momentum/gravity would have had time to carry some of the fuel deeper into the building - and thence down the elevator shafts and so forth causing the buckling of the support steels.

Just my 2 cents :innocent:

What would happen if you were daft enough to drop a lit packet of Swan Vesta down your petrol tank
inlet.........would it go out, or go "BOOM"......:lol



Time for lunch......see ya all.

I think he didn't get it, structurally a steel framed building can't fall with fire only without impact effecting the foundation. Just like overcooking a cake won't cause the top two layers to be leveled with the bottom two lol :LOL:

North tower and south tower, Ok was a terrorist attack by devout muslims who like to drink order porn and sleep with hookers.....I'm willing to give you that. Building 7 however gives every conspiracy theorist the credit of nobel prize winner. If a fire did occur in building seven any kid from grade 6 physics knows fire causes displacement in a closed container, why were none of the building windows broken?
 
Ftse being the contrary Mary that she is seems to be the only one NOT going down (too much) today. Fighting every point.
