By looking at the video of the second impact, most of the fuel exploded at impact and burned outside the building. What wasn't consumed at impact may have burned slowly in an oxygen starved manner, hence the thick dark smoke with little flame. I don't see how the buildings collapsed due to fire, when by the time they collapsed most of the fires burned out. There have been fully engulfed steel buildings that have burned far longer and hotter than the WTC which remained standing.

What about the photo of the woman standing in the hole of the first impact? That would not indicate high heat and temperature to me. And what of the released fireman transcript that says send in a couple of hoses and we can knock this out?

And most importantly, if the buildings collapsed in a progressive manner the time to collapse would have been far greater than free fall time.

And Building #7 did not have any fuel in it.

I think that these questions should be addressed. For some reason they have not been. The official investigations are full of assumptions and hypothesis.
