Most people don't know that there were actually 3 buildings which came
crashing down on the day of 9/11.

The third building, WTC 7, can be seen here


Idiot brigade with Bush derangement syndrome.

The "fire can't melt steel" is false. After the big fire in the
Berkeley/Oakland hills a while ago I saw large steel I beams that
where melted by the fire. These supported a house.

Duh. Anyone who has seen a blowtorch knows fire can easily melt steel
when it is fanned or when air is blown onto it. Big fires create
their own wind and that is what melted the steel beams inside the WTC.
The insulation on the beams fell away.

More modern building codes require steel beams to be more permanently
coated with insulation that is not so easily dislodged. The beams
would not have failed had the WTC been built in the 80s and later.
