    steal doesnt have to melt to make a structure collapse. All it does it need to bend and a structure can fail. Combined with high winds that are present at skyscraper levels giving the fire more oxygen. To fail, steel just needs to bend and have a load on it.

    @50% of steels melting point it loses something like 70% of its tensile strength, according to the popular mechanics investigation. Though i doesnt explain the molten river of steel below most the ruble.


    Either way this is a stupid argument. Like trying to tell a devout christian that god really doesnt exist
