It's a very simple concept kids - fire melts steel. All of the fuel from the plane (or the truck yesterday for that matter) didn't explode and burn out instantly. Some of the steel from the WTC was physically destroyed or otherwise pushed out of the building the moment of impact. I saw the fire rage for hours; The combination of the impact, the explousion, the hours of fire, and the fact that so much of the building was destroyed when the plane hit did the WTC in.

What happened yesterday near the Bay Bridge should serve as a reminder of how open we are to attacks. Any yahoo with a gas tanker can now take out a bridge. Imagine if they focused their attention on the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge at the same time. It will kill San Francisco.
