18. Where do you get this bullshit from?

Years before I did? You don't know a fucking thing about me.

Finish reading that page from City in the Sky. Leslie Robertson performed the second airplane impact study. Again, fire not seriously factored in. Spray on insulation not factored in. Assumptions made on fire resistance based on the performance of the thicker, masonry-protected ESB/B-25 impact.

Why would you link that from the Times, when the quote is right there word for word in the book I just linked?

No information about the performance of the towers in a fire, resulting from an aircraft impact (the 707 question) has ever surfaced to my knowledge, from either of those studies.

You have a quote. From an apparent assumption by a person with a vested interest in getting the towers built on time and on budget.

John Skilling, Leslie Robertson's boss, said the towers would survive the fires Ace Acme Oct 2013 #15

Robertson says fires were not factored in when he did the studies Ace Acme Oct 2013 #19

The full quote from Skilling, plus more background context is on the page I specified in the book. AtheistCrusader Oct 2013 #20

Skilling said the buildings were designed to take the fires. Ace Acme Oct 2013 #21

Oh yes, Skilling is going to admit in 1993 that he lied about the buildings when getting the plans AtheistCrusader Oct 2013 #23

Mr. Skilling did not reference the 707 study in 1993 Ace Acme Oct 2013 #24

LOL. Hoist by your own petard. AtheistCrusader Oct 2013 #25

"We looked" is past tense. You're just sinking deeper. nt Ace Acme Oct 2013 #26

Read what I said, again, very carefully. I'll wait. AtheistCrusader Oct 2013 #27

You're just blowing smoke because you cannot admit when you are wrong. Ace Acme Oct 2013 #28

It's not an honest mistake when a reporter writes something that's not true Ace Acme Oct 2013 #36

I do, and reporters/journalists make mistakes. AtheistCrusader Oct 2013 #37

They're not honest mistakes when there's a reckless failure to verify. Ace Acme Oct 2013 #38

It is an extraordinary claim. AtheistCrusader Oct 2013 #39

It can't be both. Ace Acme Oct 2013 #40

You are attempting to artificially define 'honest mistake'. AtheistCrusader Oct 2013 #41

Knowing the melting point of steel, he had to know it would be controversial. nt Ace Acme Oct 2013 #42

Why? AtheistCrusader Oct 2013 #43

He would know from his access to experts that fires can't produce those temperatures Ace Acme Oct 2013 #44
