Read the NIST link where they say the fires could not have reached more than 1800 degrees F. It takes 2800 degrees F to melt steel and gypsum does not melt. Are you as ignorant of science and physics as you appear to be?
Structural steel loses 50% of its strength at 1100F. The jetliners blasting through the buildings destroyed fire retardant coatings on the columns and floor trusses, exposing them to direct fire impingement. Like a giant incendiary bullet, the jetliner blew a massive hole through the building. The direct hit on the North Tower, for example, severely damaged most of the inner support columns, shattered sheet rock walls, ceilings and framing, pulverized furniture, office equipment, carpeting, clothing, drapes, exposed paper, cardboard, wood, plastic, PVC pipes, and other fuel sources.
Jet fuel exploded down through the elevator shafts all the way to the lobby where it blew out the plate glass windows and killed a good number of people. First in firefighters found burned people in the lobby. No fires of any significance were ignited below the impact zone. Firefighters has to ascend via the stairwells because the elevators were knocked out.
Those explosions you claim were planted explosives blowing debris out were actually the air trapped on each floor blowing out like a stomped on balloon.
The looney tunes conspiracy you are pushing defies all logic, science, and common sense. The entire convoluted mess you promote is impossibly complex and loaded with contradictions. The organization, training, logistics, communications, subterfuge, deceptions, timing, and the thousands of agencies, corporations, individuals, groups, and authorities necessary to pull off such a massive conspiracy is beyond any credible possibility. In a word, you "troofers" are freaking insane.
