Still getting side tracked on interesting items. This one is on an engineering report commissioned by Silverstein:

"...Additionally, the engineers claim that computer modeling shows that the failure of columns alone, independent of the floors explains the collapses....

The Silverstein report also concludes that fire temperatures were lower than typical "fully developed" office fires. The fires were fueled by office furniture and floor contents initially ignited by the jet fuel, which burned out quickly. Dust and debris distributed by the crashes inhibited the fires, which at the impact floors were between 750°F and 1,300°F....".
