Thousands of pounds of jet fuel caused the fire that eventually weakened the steel to the point where collapse was inevitable. You don't need to melt steel, steel weakens as the temperature rises. Weaken it enough and it will lose it's ability to support weight. Just as something in the oven continues to cook after the flame is removed the temperature within the towers remained high after two hours after the initial fire.

Find one competent civil engineer to demonstrate otherwise and I'll consider alternatives.

In the end you are left with the choice to believe your eyes, believe common logic, or believe them, the Bush administration.
