Well, 850 billion verseus 400 billion is only a factor of 2. I divded by 100 in my calculation, so it doesn't really change much. That "error" is well within the noise. Even if I propagate it, I get 3.5 tons or so, of melted steel, between the two towers. The calculation is so crude that ...

Settling this debate is pretty simple. go and read the testimony of the firefighters who were there for hours, saw the fires and gaping hole in #7, and fully expected it it to come down.

The first thing investigators do is look for the PEOPLE with the motive. Then they compare these people against the initial evidence and come up with a suspect list.
