Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This one is the most annoying for me. It betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of heat, where a person clearly doesn't understand that heat can accumulate regardless of where it comes from.
It's like saying a garden hose cannot fill up a swimming pool because the mouth of the garden hose isn't as big as the pool.
The most annoying part is that steel beams don't need to come anywhere close to melting temps to lose structural integrity.
And that the building itself may contain other unknown components that may make a jet fuel fire worse
What about an airliner's worth of pulverized aluminum?
There was a documentary of a private investigation where they looked into that very topic. It was on very late at night and I fell asleep.
Never seen it since. So pissed about it.
I saw it something like that in Germany on ARTE, but they didn't produce it themselves. Maybe BBC or so.
It was a documentary looking into several of the conspiracy theories, debunking them.
The airliner's aluminum is the simpler explanation for molten metal than any "thermite" ideas.
I just searched for it, also with chatpgt help, but can't point a finger to the three or for documentaries that seem to come up, it's too long that I've seen it.
