dynamic loads do not have more force than static loads !!

Your average house fire can reach 1000C at 600c steel has 50% of it's strength then you have structural damage to consider as well.
WTC7 had structural damage as well !!!!
Quick google search there was it? Think you mean fahrenheit as the average house fire can reach 600c.
What grade of steel are you talking about? A36? A182? A350? A105?
Ah yes, you're right some falling debris hut it and made a hole.
I raise YOU THIS
Of interest is the maximum value which is fairly regularly found. This value turns out to be around 1200°C, although a typical post-flashover room fire will more commonly be 900~1000°C.
Source or it never happened.

Not one picture has ever been shown with 757 parts at or around , or in the Pentagon.
It was not going 500 mph.
If you have ever driven by a major airport its not very difficult to watch the planes land and drive.
Commercial aircraft are big and they are rather noticeable when they are doing things they are not supposed to be doing.
You know what, you're absolutely right. WTC 7 is the first high rise in history to collapse due to a fire. A fire that started due to falling debris. Quite a story.
The McCormick Center in Chicago and the Sight and Sound Theater in Pennsylvania are examples of steel structures collapsing. The theater was fire protected using drywall and spray on material. A high rise in Philly didn't collapse after a long fire but firefighters evacuated the building when a pancake structural collapse was considered likely. Other steel-framed buildings partially collapsed due fires one after only 20 minutes.
The steel framed McCormick Center was at the time the World's largest exhibition center. It like the WTC used long steel trusses to create a large open space without columns. Those trusses were unprotected but of course much of the WTC lost it's fire protection due to the impacts.
"As an example of the damaging effect of fire on steel, in 1967, the original heavy steel-constructed McCormick Place exhibition hall in Chicago collapsed only 30 minutes after the start of a small electrical fire."

Buildings collapsed from fire long before the WTC

These are buildings which were intact, no structural damage from aircraft impacts, fire proofing intact, not striped off
the steel by impacts
Fires which were fought by FD, WTC 7 was abandoned when realized there was no water in building to fight fires.

am i to believe a fire that burned for hours stayed in one corner of the room? why? to be polite?
ill add multiple floors in wtc7 burned for hours. and the fire captains noticed the building had visible structural failure and in their professional opinion, wtc7 was going to collapse. had they listened to you and gone in to put out the fires, they would have died.

Small fires at WTC ....??
Multiple floors on fire here - entire floors involved

Now tell me about the "SMALL FIRES"........

Oh and here is another snippet for the hard of learning.
I Posted way back in 2012
Seismic design relies on modelling, risk analysis and changes to the structural stiffness. Wind design relies on additional structural members and wind tunnel tests. Current fire design relies on very simple, single element tests and adding insulating material to the frame. Thermal induced forces are not calculated or designed for.
That changed after 9/11
