And yet it didn't collapse.
[QUOTE=Zenreon117;40144454]And yet it didn't collapse.[/QUOTE] Of course it didn't, it's made of concrete and metal. It takes a bit more than a fire to break that shit
[QUOTE=Zenreon117;40144454]And yet it didn't collapse.[/QUOTE] It's still burning. [url]http://rt.com/on-air/chechnya-skyscraper-fire/[/url]
[QUOTE=Zenreon117;40144454]And yet it didn't collapse.[/QUOTE] why would it collapse, i don't get it
[QUOTE=Zenreon117;40144454]And yet it didn't collapse.[/QUOTE] Lets not have another 9/11 thread where the conspiracy nuts are out-scienced to hell.
[QUOTE=Zenreon117;40144454]And yet it didn't collapse.[/QUOTE] This is just a wild guess, but that may have had something to do with the fact that a jumbo jet didn't slam into it at high speeds and burning jet fuel didn't compromise its structural integrity. JUST a guess.
[QUOTE=Zenreon117;40144454]And yet it didn't collapse.[/QUOTE] I'd call it russian magic because AKs also fire while being on fire, but its just metal and concrete.
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;40144472]Of course it didn't, it's made of concrete and metal. It takes a bit more than a fire to break that shit[/QUOTE] 9/11 confirmed for inside job thank you laserbeams

I'm expecting the huge clock on top of the tower to fall off and go rolling down the street.
This place is called Grozny-city complex. Grozny in Polish means "dangerous" lol
[QUOTE=Solomon;40144488]why would it collapse, i don't get it[/QUOTE] because there were no explosives used
Why was I expecting a tower covered in flames?
[QUOTE=TehAgentGuy;40144574]Why was I expecting a tower covered in flames?[/QUOTE] Because that's exactly what it is.
That's a nice looking building
[img]http://rt.com/files/news/1e/96/00/00/30.jpg[/img] nice
[QUOTE=smurfy;40144627][img]http://rt.com/files/news/1e/96/00/00/30.jpg[/img] nice[/QUOTE] What? Is that inside?
[QUOTE=Zenreon117;40144635]What? Is that inside?[/QUOTE] Yes, it's in the source.
How the hell are ALL the floors on fire at the same time? Some natural gas pipe burst or something?
[QUOTE=Zenreon117;40144635]What? Is that inside?[/QUOTE] no it's the motel 8 across the street
[QUOTE=MrEndangered;40144505]Lets not have another 9/11 thread where the conspiracy nuts are out-scienced to hell.[/QUOTE]not saying we should discuss the whole exploding skyscrapers topic, but i love it when the conspiracy nuts are out-scienced to hell
[QUOTE=Adbor;40144563]This place is called Grozny-city complex. Grozny in Polish means "dangerous" lol[/QUOTE] It is "fearsome" in Russian.
Those buildings look quite nice.
Are they just going let it burn out?
[QUOTE=shian;40144981]Are they just going let it burn out?[/QUOTE] Not much else to do, can't spray water that high and the building isnt gonna collapse so yeah. Afterwards it'll either get demolished or refurbished, depending on how bad the damage is.
[QUOTE=shian;40144981]Are they just going let it burn out?[/QUOTE] You can see a ladder spraying water in the first pic.
[QUOTE=Zenreon117;40144454]And yet it didn't collapse.[/QUOTE] You don't know how buildings work do you? That building has a lot of support. Otherwise it would have crushed itself a long time ago. The fire will damage the outside of the building but assuming it's a newer building and is up to code it will also have firewalls between each room slowing and limiting the damage greatly. And people here are right, a normal fire doesn't burn nearly as hot as jet fuel so the concrete and support beams won't give way. The worst that could happen would a huge chunk become a skeleton.
[QUOTE=Zenreon117;40144454]And yet it didn't collapse.[/QUOTE] course not it wasnt hit by a cruise missile piloted by rumsfeld with help from the global elite
