Tell the folks who have to reroute their commute around that section of MacArthur Maze that "fuel can't melt steel". Excerpted from Sign On San Diego, an online news publication:
"Heat from the flames exceeded 2,750 degrees and caused the steel beams holding up the overpass to buckle and bolts holding the structure together to melt, California Department of Transportation director Will Kempton said."
That's a single gasoline tanker truck, not two planes loaded with jet fuel.
And here's an excerpt from today's satirical Boston Globe column by Tom Keane:
"San Francisco authorities said a gasoline tanker truck overturned and erupted into flames, melting a critical portion of a freeway. Sept. 11 conspiracy theorists immediately claimed that was impossible, as burning fuel cannot melt steel, and that in all likelihood the damage was from a bomb planted by various shadowy government secret agencies."
The two just sort of belong together, don't they?
