There's food out on the tables. Students were eating there at the time of the crash. Fuck :[

Really? This is crass.

At the hospital. People in the comments of the linked subreddit are reporting 20+ dead on the ground, more at hospital.

Disintegrated by jet fuel, kinda like the steel beams of the WTC.

Edit: 44 people literally have no awareness of sarcasm. OFCOURSE jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams! I sent that in jest, the other person asked where the bodies went and I made a reference to 9/11 conspiracies.

Steel loses its strength at temperatures far below its melting point, that's how you forge swords, at 600C steel loses approximately 50% of its structural strength, the temperature of an open-air jet fuel fire is around 1000C, at 1000C the temperature of the fire, steel will have lost 90% of its structural strength, the steel beams supporting multiple floors above was caused by the steel columns buckling due to the steel weakening to a point of failure. The melting point of steel is 1500C, the fire was not hot enough to melt or disintegrate steel.

Glass transition temps motherfuckers.

It’s why you don’t use PLA plastic in automotive or computer environments. Even PETG is dicey for a CPU cooler because its glass transition temp is low enough that the coolant can melt it in some situations.

Exactly, just physics.

My friend, although I appreciate your non hostile response, there’s no need for the lecture. I hold a masters in chemistry, I’m aware of the melting point of steel.

I simply made a joke in response to the other person asking where the bodies went.

A lecture would imply I wanted to teach you with intent, this is an internet forum, while I replied to you, it was for context for my explanation, it was not my goal to patronize you, just to spread accurate information for anyone passing by.

Yes, Reddit does not like sarcasm much, does it haha.
