111. modellers research
I see some paths we can take as amateur modellers, to investigate the WTC myths.

1 area is to reproduce the visual-actual using explosives (i don't have.. gauntlet).

1 is to attempt to get a steel structure to collapse using the story,
or showing the worst damange possible by petrocarbons on a steel structure..
i'm on to the latter... any of you black powder enthusiasts, the former can be
tested with chicken wire. For all the scientists out there with a bag of cement,
and some chicken wire, the proportions are all on wikipedia.

I'm prepping this structure for a second firing, but i will need to re-set the
foundation in new cement as the milk carton melted and screwed up the still-wet
foundation of the model.

I intend on getting more of the wire and doing a 1/2mm := 1 meter model and perhaps
if i'm still driven to do such tests, a 1mm := 1meter model. Just, now that i know
that none of these models will ever collapse from a fire, i'm wondering what exactly
i'll be doing with them... like when people visit... "Oh, what's with the 3 world
trade centers outside?".. "Oo, they're bird feeders."
