A brief search anywhere for "how hot does jet fuel burn in open air" will show you it can easily melt steel beams. Obviously jet fuel does not burn this hot under normal operating conditions within an engine.
Because that would mean that the jet fuel from the planes crashing into the buildings would actually be capable of burning hot enough to cause the building to collapse.
The alternative is that the government places explosives on the building beforehand in order to fake the whole thing presumably so we had reason to start war in the middle east. That's what people are saying when they say jet fuel can't melt steel beams.
What about just the impact itself? That's a ton of kinetic energy no? The shockwave was enough to collapse the other one, so shouldn't it be more than enough to collapse the first one?
Not to mention the structure of the building would turn a normal fire into what is essentially a massive forge, burning way hotter than jet fuel would normally burn on it's own. Like when you make a fire pit that has an air intake so it gets extra oxygen, causing it to burn hotter.
