I don't believe one of the "theories" is that there was "no fire"; it's generally recognized there was some fire but that it just burned at a lower temperature than required to melt or soften steel.

Yet, this is the main point that truthers have not proven. The smoke coming from the towers cannot be used as proof due to the volume and variety of materials burning in the building. Different materials burn with different darknesses of smoke, plastic being one of the darkest if I remember correctly.
This is why I tend to challenge the base theories that truthers present on this site. When the base theory that they draw all their assumptions on is potentially flawed, then all the conclusions drawn from it are potentially flawed.

You need to learn about heat transfer, because no matter how hot a fire may get it doesn't mean the steel is going to be anywhere the same temperature.
The first tower fell in less than an hour, that is not enough time to cause steel to fail from fire. Especially enough to make a difference in the buildings structural integrity.
You also need to learn about FoS because even IF ALL the steel lost 50% of the it's strength it would still not collapse. The FoS for high-rise steel building components is 4-6.
There was not even any fire burning at the impact points before collapse, the fire burned out as it moved on. Steel will start to cool the second it is not subjected to the heat. To heat steel up to the point of failure would take sustained direct fire, and that in reality was not the case.
When are you going to explain how sagging trusses can put a pulling force on the columns? Or better yet demonstrate it. If you can't do that then the whole collapse hypothesis you cling to is worthless.

No one can prove the temp of the fires. What you should do is find a study of an open fire 800 feet up and see if mild steel will weaken?. And how do you know if there was a variety of material burning? Assuming maybe?
Why don't you challenge my supposed flawed signature?

OK. Your signature is not based on facts nor evidence, therefore is fundamentally flawed in that it's a fantasy of your own creation.

You realise that NIST did this? I mean they didn't bother with making it 800ft up but that would just add stronger winds and therefore more oxygen. Are you that ignorant on the subject of 911 that you haven't even seen NISTs fire tests?

In regards to my signature
Really ?
Both planes didn't weight 392 tons?
Both planes weren't made from aluminum?
Those 3 towers didn't have a combined weight of 1,200,000 tons ?
Those 3 towers weren't made from mild steel and reinforced concrete?
Those are all facts babe
Good try though
