you're supposed to answer questions with questions!
What happens when these things burn, and you don't have a line of sight to them, like when they are in the center of a building 20 floors above your head, and you're busy working and looking the other way?
How's that? ETA:

NIST, after their many years of study of these newly publicly released videos and photographs concluded that no structural damage from WTC1 contributed to the collapse of WTC7.
If it should turn out to be otherwise NIST will have even more questions to provide inventive answers for. . |

And anyway, fire seeks combustible material. It doesn't limit itself to a few rooms out of politeness. The WTC 7 "burned", as you yourselves say, for 6 hours.

Yes, but as you know that fiery heart is generally enclosed in a cooler exterior. If a steel girder for instance passed through the heart of fire that fire wouldn't burn for long because all the heat would soon be wicked aaway by the hundred-miles long contiguous steel frame of the building.

Temperature is a function of input (combustion) and output (convection, radiation and conduction).
A smoldering fire deep inside WTC7 will have little convection and all the radiation and conduction will heat the steel and concrete and after some hours cause the steel frame to collapse. |

![]() Yes, because an open camp fire does have a limited supply of oxygen. |

Maybe if you read the posts in between, you would understand.
Then again, maybe not. DGM, you never answered my question about aetruth.info. WHere on that site can we "Learn the Truth" about Richard Gage? |

Ergo:
Still scratching your head over a campfire does not have an "infinite oxygen supply"? |

Why is this thread still going on when Dr. Thomas ended it halfway through the first page?

My apologies, you're correct. I spelled black in my head, put white in instead. Damn you beer!
Anyway, do you still stand by this "grey smoke doesn't come from raging fires" BS still? BTW, the reason green wood produced black smoke, is because the heat is struggling to break the wood down, and it cannot completly do so. It causes creosote to form, which comes from the incomplete combustion of the material. |
