Just found this, made me cry. I despise people who idiotically claim it was a conspiracy against the American people.

Jet fuel doesn't melt steel. It does however weaken it and once one floor got weakened everything above it pancaked. The internal support and many other supports were destroyed when the planes impacted.

I highly reccomend you read the 9/11 Commission Report or read about the event on the National 9/11 Memorial Museum Website. That's where all the official infomartion is.

I second that. Steel often melts at 1370 degrees Celsius. And the temp of the fuel is about 1,500 degrees Celsius (Correct me if im wrong)

Jet fuel burns at 800° to 1500°F, not hot enough to melt steel (2750°F).

(lazy to convert to Celsius)

Jet fuel is made of Kerosene, usually pure kerosene.

Not really, Jet Fuel veries heavily on the engine and its roll, for instance in a 2cnd Generation jet like the F9 There is watter and methynole mixed with petrol. some planes have multiple tanks filled with different fuels to be used in emergancies (These are mostly combat aircraft though)

Gavin, im talking about civilian jet fuel. I know the military has different sorts of jet fuels most common of which are kerosene based fuels.

Jet Fuel has changed a lot since the F9.

I bring up the F9 because i know that plane better than any other.

Gavin, im talking about civilian jet fuel. I know the military has different sorts of jet fuels most common of which are kerosene based fuels.

and im talking about all jet fuel, the military is simply an extreme example, most civilian jets use mixtures too, either for cost reasons, or to reduce stress on the aircraft's engine.

Most jet fuel*

, not hot enough to melt steel (2750°F)

Does not need too, the plane smashing into the building creats a **** ton of heat and realeses a **** ton of energy too, the burning just weakens the steal, also, we dont even know what grade steel these towers where built with, as a son of a contractor, i can say almost none of these buildings meet code.

Gavin a quick google search will give you the grades of steel used in the Twin Towers.

 The NYC Department of Buildings keeps and kept decent records on all buildings. Investigators were able to find the impact steel of both towers because of Department of Building records of the buildings. For governmentallly funded buildings records are extremely meticulous.

Most jet fuel is still kerosene based...im not denying there are mixtures.
