Expansion like this will dramatically alter the structure

I am confident the WTC buildings will be the only cases in history that will be recorded as falling down because of "fire". After the fireball (which vented most of it's heat outside the buildings) there was hardly enough fire to boil a cup of coffee never mind bend structural steel. Even if the steel had expanded, the steel outer frame would have just expanded too to take up the strain. Steel is amazing stuff.

If the aluminum from the airplane or outer structure had caught fire, then some explanation might be there. The fire would have been intense though, a very powerful fire. There was no sign of that whatever.

Building 7 fell down all by itself. Must of caught a fright or something.
