What these people forget, is that steal WEAKENS at higher temperature and that much strength is lost (about half) as steel heats up to 600 degrees. Steel does not need to melt in order to be useless as a building material.

Exactly! Many of the support structures were destroyed by the impacts themselves.Then,add huge hour long,white hot fires weakening (but not melting) the support structures that weren't destroyed,add the 500 tons of the airplanes themselves and you get...

Cheney did it!

I always thought that 7 World Trade Center was the crux of their argument.They claimed that it fell for no reason at all.But IMO,this petroleum stored underneath is a good explanation.The thing I saw the other day said that no effort was made to put out the fire there because it was obvious that the effort would have been futile.

Plus, WTC7 was being pummelled with tons of steel beams and other debris that was falling from the towers. It would be like its getting smashed repeatedly with a wrecking ball.

I believe that if there was fuel storage below the building it might have been diesel fuel for emergency generator(s).
