If burning jet fuel was capable of melting metal why in the hell doesnt it burn the inner components of a jet engine?
This is one of several issues that some people refuse to address because it will interfere with their ability to yell, 'conspiracy theorist'..

The minimum temperature required to melt steel is about 2750 F..
The maximum temperature of any fuel, including jet fuel is about 1500 F ..

The fuel couldn't have melted the steel, but that matters not.. It still melted the steel and caused 3 buildings to free fall.. That's it.. no other possibilites..

Some folks just refuse to look at facts..
