Jet liner fuel dude. Planes were full of them. Tower built to withstand plane but not jet liner full of fuel. I worked as PM in Petro-Canada Centre for 10 years and design almost identical to WTC. In fact, during 93 bombing we traveled there to study damage and review Port Authority fire escape plans as we implemented similar drills due to building design. You have to remember the steel was coated in fire retardant but not made to withstand 2000 degree heat generated by the fuel and fire. Acted like a bomb. Once the girders started to warp due to heat it created the necessary metal fatigue and brought tower down upon itself. Our Engineers on staff concluded this to the main factor in tower collapses and they have no reason to lie.

Even if what you say is true there is still the evidence that the administration knew about the attack and did nothing and that Cheney had the usual air defense stand down, so something is amiss.
