    Plus there would be wind fanning those flames hard which could raise the temperature some.

    But the other thing to consider is that the towers could have been built with substandard materials in the first place.

      Plus aluminum, which planes are made of, does burn hot enough to melt steel beams. And concrete weakens in a fire as well.

      Plus all the mind control chemicals they use to make the chemtrails probably burnt really hot. /s

      IIRC, the materials were fine, but the spray-on fireproofing left large patches uncovered. While not a direct cause, it certainly didn’t help.

      WTYP has a pretty good episode on the entire thing

        This just in: scientists have determined that a more direct cause for the towers falling than defective spray-on fireproofing may exist. Rumors have begun to circulate that the WTCs collapse may be attributed to the two aircraft which collided with them. Details at 6.

        (I kid, I kid)

          Well, it would’ve collapsed either way, as you can see on the pictures during the fire that the metal is starting to buckle uniformly around the entire floor with the fire. But patches without insulation probably meant that it collapsed sooner than it could’ve.

          Didn’t help anyone trapped, so the net result is the same in that I fail to see how 30 minutes extra before it crumbled would’ve made any difference
