We were told that the jet fuel was the major cause of bringing down the two World Trade Center towers. In your opinion, is this plausible? Building Seven also fell despite not being struck. Why?

When a bat hits a ball it is called impulse, no high rise building is designed to take an impulse like a jumbo jet flying smack dab into it. If you look at the photos of the building being hit by the jet you can actually see the building bend at the impact. The impact damaged some of the major load bearing members, and the fire did the rest. Jet fuel is not gasoline at the pump. Standard jet fuel has an octane rating of 100, and can burn at up to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. Steel loses about 50% of its strength at just 550 degrees Fahrenheit. The combination of the impulse, and the fire caused a load failure and the floors began to pancake.

“Why?”

It was damaged by the fall of the towers and a fire.
You can read up on this.
