I knew that none of those buildings were brought down by fire when I was watching it happen live. Common sense really is all it takes. But given how daft I know the western populace to be now after all is said and done, videos and eye witness testimony can be shown until the cows come home, and those folks will still cling to the official story.

Wow. The weird glitches on the video sure look like they were strategically placed to detract from and cover up charges that can be seen going off in the building.
That was my first impression any way. I haven't read through the thread yet and I bet others noticed the same.

Preaching to the choir here I'm afraid.
I've been saying this since I watched them over and over and over and over again on news stations the day of and the many months after.
Brought down by fire my @$$.
Anyone who believes that needs to study building demolition, specifically controlled demolitions.
Wouldn't hurt to also check out other buildings that have been struck by aircraft and the damages they suffered. Not one that I've found has even partially collapsed from an aircraft crashing into it.
The melting point of the construction-grade steel girders is 2,795 degrees, well beyond what jet fuel and the associated things being burnt in it's path could possibly heat the steel to.
Jet fuel cannot burn hot enough to melt steel. Well, to be exact, construction-grade steel melts at 2795 degrees Fahrenheit. That's a proven fact, as can be seen from the website: www.chemicalelements.com...
Video on one explanation: www.youtube.com...
Plus if a plane hit that far up, the building would have toppled, not fell straight down like in a demolition...so many people buy that bull$h!t theory...I guess the fluoride in the water is really starting to work along side our failing education system.
Oh, and during clean up, DAYS after the 'crash' there was *still* molten steel in the bottom floors....do the math over 2700 degrees, and held for *how* long?
Right, jet fuel. Whatever.
*rolls eyes*
Sorry for ranting - just so sick of people claiming 1+1 = 3,451 to the quintupled power by the root of 37.

Turns out all they needed was some construction grade steel! Damn they'll probably thank you no end.

Oh, really?

And that are just the first three I found after doing a very, very quick search.
You're not just incorrect, but lazy too.
Steel beams have melted and collapsed over charred timber beam, which, despite heavy damage, remains in place." Note that the wood beam, while badly charred, retains enough structural integrity to support the deformed steel beams.
There are a lot of engineers that would agree that steel begins to become unstable at as low as 500 degrees.

Engineering degrees? Like these guys have?
