Worthless Quote #3

Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Do you believe that the government had anything to do with the attack of 9-11? Do you believe in a conspiracy in terms of the attack of 9-11?

Rosie O’Donnell: No, but I do believe that in the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics for the World Trade Center tower 7, building 7 which collapsed in, on itself, it is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved; World Trade Center 7. World Trader 1 and 2 got hit by planes, 7 miraculously, first time in history, steel was melted by fire, it is physically impossible.

*Steel melts at 2500°F.  It has throughout history melted at 2500°F.  They even have a term for melting metals to separate the elements in them — it’s called ’smelting’ — Steel is smelted, every day in fact — what does Rosie think they do at steel mills?  How did Rosie think the beams were made that formed the structure of World Trade Center tower 7?  They certainly weren’t mined from the earth in such a form.  They had to be melted and formed in order to take the shape necessary to build the structure that they built.
