Opps, fire can melt steel!

One of the main arguments that the "9/11 was in anside job" crowd use is that fire can't melt steel.  As ex-BYU prof. was one of the people who started this type of rumor.  Rosie ran with it on the view.

So how do they explain that a fire from a tanker explosion cause the steel of the overpass to melt, bend, and collapse.  A lot like 9/11.

Opps.

preview:

"The elevated section of highway that carries motorists from the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge to a number of freeways was destroyed early Sunday when the heat of a burning gasoline tanker truck weakened part of one overpass, crumpling it onto another."

Have these people:  never seen how steel is made; never been flipping channels on a Saturday afternoon and stumbled accross a blacksmith demonstration; been living in a hole since the stone age, and have never heard of metallurgy ?

Sad that a BYU prof was involved.  That's why I say: "Go Utah!"  For all morons out there who believe that fire can't melt metal - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallurgy

P.S. Notice how none of the Bretheren are BYU grads?  Kinda makes you think...
