Couple of problems with his stupid theory.

1) is that he is missing the floors. the floors were constructed with trusses

2) the external structure was made of steel beams that the trusses were attached to

3) missing the fact that the floors that got hit added hundreds of tons of steel and fuel in a matter of micro seconds.

The resulting burning of the fuel and sudden added weight resulted in the steel trusses melting, and then giving way, creating a multiton domino effect from floor to floor. The sudden weight caused the external structure to bow and break, thus the collapes. The rabbit cage also wasn't on fire for more than a few minutes, unlike the towers.

I'll wait for this idiots to prove the moon landing is lie theory with a bottle of diet coke and a few Mentos!

They did not even have to get the temperature up enough to melt the steel, just enough to heat the beams to the yield point, which is significantly lower.

Not to mention that the WTC floors were not open so that the heat could dissipate---and that the dimensions were badly out of proportion.

These observations come from someone with a liberal arts background, not science or math and even I can see at least 10 different areas of mis-match.
