Just More Proof That Fire Can't Melt Steel

You know since Sept. 11, 2001, all the kooks keep saying that "it was the first time in history that fire has caused the collapse of of steel buildings."
Well, not only was that a lie, but it keeps happening to this day. Where and when you say? How about on April 29 of this year, as well as this past Wednesday, the 20.

Some of my favourite passages from Wednesday's article are:

"Capt. Ralph Linderman of the St. Andrews Fire Department said the blaze was the hottest he could recall in three decades of firefighting. "That fire bent steel like a wet noodle," he said.

"Charleston Fire Capt. Jake Jenkins said the firefighters were spread out in teams when the roof - a steel truss system - collapsed. Other crews fought to get inside the building and rescue the fallen, but the conditions were too bad, he said."

"The tragedy drew people from throughout the region. Some came to offer condolences. Others took photographs or stared at the store's smoking remains, a twisted tangle of concrete and steel."

Coincidence? I think the firefighters were paid off.
Again...idiots.
