Pretty sure this is sarcastic, but we do know that jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams and even if it did, the entire building wouldn’t collapse in on itself. “Pancaking” is the same science as masks working.
Steel doesn’t retain its strength all the way up until melting, but steel reinforced concrete isn’t just steel.
That was never the issue, the issue was there were eyewitness accounts of "molten, running steel" that persisted for days and, IIRC was corroborated by the USGS satellite thermal imaging data up to a week later via colour matching of incandescent materials.
People mocking people saying "Jet fuel cannot melt steel beams" believe they intended to say "Jet fuel cannot weaken steel beams". It was one of the most finessed red herrings ever. No. The people saying jet fuel cannot melt steel beams are saying jet fuel cannot MELT steel beams. Molten, pooled. flowing "like lava or a foundry" steel. Not that fact it gets soft when heated.
All 7 buildings were destroyed.
3 nearby ships were completely destroyed due to embers that drifted out of the canal.
Yes, science says steel ships can be melted by fires which rage at half the melting point of such steel.
office fires
Ever see the video of railroad track being welded, they basically melt steel into a form using Thermite. Amazing how fast it works...
yes, because steel retains 100% of it's structural integrity/rigidity right up until just before the melting temp.
everyone knows that.
stays just as strong as it is at room temp, until 1 degree from the melting point... then you've got real problems on your hands.

Steel maintains 70% of it's structural integrity even once it reaches the glowing red stage
And let’s not forget to mention “Factors of safety”.....

HA!
the Pyramids were reported to have fallen 17 minutes before they actually fell.
Lol! Right?
