        No steel melted on 911, no rational people say so.
The jet fuel was found to be trivial compared to the office fires. Look at the heat energy...
Heat energy before collapse from office fires - Estimates for WTC 1, 8,000 GJ, and 3,000 GJ for WTC 2 - jet fuel 1,300 GJ.
Office fire win, they were much more heat than the jet fuel. The jet fuel was only equal to the heat energy of 315 TONS of thermite, or TNT.  Do you know what a joule is?  A gigajoule, GJ? Science beats 911 truth claims of CD born in ignorance.  
Steel fails quickly in fire, and that is why it is insulated to survive 2 hours with insulation in place.  
Steel fails in fire.

This is so simple, steel fails in fire, why did the structural wood beat steal in fire?
