So it was hot enough to melt steel only if your theory was correct, but not when we apply the government theory.

You sat there and you argued that it wasn't hot enough. NOW your telling us it was more than hot enough. You don't believe the government theory, but when it's your theory it was plenty hot enough.

Simple. Any third grader can explain it with their blocks. Build a tower of blocks, quickly remove an entire "floor" of blocks, and the the next row (floor) of blocks falls straight down. In other words, the blocks would fall down on each other.

I saw fireballs and an hour long fire. We all did. The fireballs were so big that they traveled down ninety floors and exploded in the lobby.

You don't get it, do you?

The core on one floor failed, passing the weight of the floor above it to the outer columns - of which thirty percent was destroyed. An hour long fire weakened outer columns until they were unable to support the weight above it. Note that columns on multiple floors were missing and others damaged. There was no way the tower could continue to support itself.

This like third grade blocks here. Build a tower, remove one of the supports, and the tower falls down. A number of the outer columns were destroyed, others damaged, the core was destroyed, and when the weight was passed over to the outer columns... Eventually they gave way.
