The concrete for the twin tower was of an especially strong batch of concrete, it would have to support a structure like that. Making it harder to turn it into particles 10 microns in size.
and why were those 'fires' unable to be put out with both millions of gallons of water and a very effective heat absorbing material that was poured on site in the 100K's of gallons' worth?

Google Centrailia PA.
The town is all but abaondoned due to a mine fire that has been burning since 1962. That's 50 years.
Two words: Particle dust
Particle concrete dust under 10 microns was found all around Manhattan.
Concrete breaks apart when dropped from a high altitude but it doesn't pulverize into particulates

Wrong in soooo many ways.
It wasn't especially strong. The concrete used was 'light weight' because they had to use so much of it and weight was an issue on the floors. ie the floors were only supported at the edges. There was no support in the center(s). Now I don't know what additive they used instead of aggregate (rocks), or if they had some way of injecting air into the mix. But light weight concrete suggests less strength to me.
Secondly concrete was not used to support the towers other than the foundation below ground.
The towers were supported by the internal core of structual steel (60% total building load). This core used traditional building methods. Methods that are normally used to build an entire sky scraper.
The exterior used steel panels bolted together (40% total building load). The exterior would not be able to support itself without the bracing effect provided by the floor trusses.

Indeed impossible without explosive charges. Oh, wait...

Are you mentally retarded? That is an inaccurate model with different simulation models being tested. None are what actually happened, nor is it meant to be an accurate model.
Continued - your misinterpretation of Newton states that, yes. But you are not competent to apply Newton's 3rd Law.
Please refer to the papers by Bazant et al regarding the forces. Try to understand, don't close your mind to science.
Right now you're just repeating talking points like a sheep.
Please let us all know of any other similar structural collapses where the building explodes, projects structural beams hundreds of feet horizontally, crumbles, and turns to dust and smoke from the top down. Please post the url so we can compare these events.
This is one in a series of videos attempting to determine factually if the collapse of the WTC buildings were structural failures as the US government and the US media have been telling people now day after day, year after year since 9/11/01, or are they just possibly lying to the public?
In fact, the building not only did not simply collapse it BLEW UP FROM THE TOP DOWN. The metal infrastructure of the building was so HOT the metal exo - skeleton, as well as the interior beams exuded smoke unlike any conventional collapse due to structural failure.
LIDAR photos taken after the event show WTC5 and 6 perimeters intact after the event therefore WTC1 and 2 debris did not reach or weaken WTC7.
"There was just an explosion in the south tower. It seemed like on television when they blow up these buildings. It seemed like it was going all the way around like a belt, all these explosions."
- NYFD Firefighter Richard Banaciski
BOMBS IN THE BUILDINGS?
"I was taking firefighters up in the elevator to the 24th floor to get in position to evacuate workers. On the last trip up a bomb went off. We think there were bombs set in the building."
- NYFD Firefighter Louie Cacchioli
BOMBS IN THE BUILDINGS?
"It was as if as if they had detonated ... as if they had planned to take down a building, boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom "

For a kick-off, you could examine your allegation that the towers and building 7 fell at free-fall speed.
