Tough as Steel? Think Again

You think steel is strong huh? Well it is, until it meets it match that is.
You hang a steel wire by the roof and hang a load on it. When I say load I mean LOAD. It will stretch for sure. You will notice that as you keep increasing the load, there will come a time when it won't resist stretching and start flowing - almost literally. Eventually it will reach the breaking point.
 Well let's have a show of hands. Who thinks they are tough as steel now, huh?
