Obviously, apart from the time machine necessary to have a BUFF around in 1945, a B52-H has a loaded weight of around 120 tonnes - a roughly equivalent mass to the 767-300.<br /><br />As for the steel - yes, there is another post coming - the decay of sheer strength with temperature was going to be (and still will be) one of the points raised.Surreptitious Evilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15393411103584747731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35129540.post-49033087419515199532010-03-23T16:15:38.774+00:002010-03-23T16:15:38.774+00:00Small point but it was a B25 Lib, not a (much more...Small point but it was a B25 Lib, not a (much more recent) B52.<br /><br />Good article though. It's always worth mentioning that steel doesn't need to melt before it collapses. It weakens considerably at temperatures well below its melting temperature.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/project/research/structures/strucfire/materialInFire/Steel/FireResistantSteel/Angry Walrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445750576639087785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35129540.post-75762411611031834652010-03-12T12:18:10.881+00:002010-03-12T12:18:10.881+00:00Deary Deary Me!
