ORIGINAL: CrappyDom Rule, Two things, the mass and velocity of the plane are critical to the weakening of one single floor, which is all it took. As for the fire, don't forget, primitive Europeans melted steel with wood. Glass, which melts at 1,600 deg. often melts during your average house fire. Again, look at the pictures, the place turned into a blast furnace and all it had to do was soften the already weakended structure on ONE floor with the weight of the 10 or so stories above and boom, the top collapses at that point and then pancakes the whole building. This isn't rocket science although some here certainly make it out to be. Jet fuel burns at a temperature which is about half the temperature which steel (framework of the WTC) melts. It does, however, burn at a rate high enough cause the steel framework to lose half it's carrying capacity. Force of impact is mass of the object multiplied by the SQUARE of the speed of the object. I suspect it happened exactly as it was reported it happened. I would not be overly surprised if some guy was paid by Monkeyboy to travel to Afghanistan to give Bin Laden the idea of how to do it amd came forth and admitted it. I believe what actually happened on 9/11 was what was reported, I tend to be dubious about the events leading up to it. Just me, etc. Sinergy
