was it an an inside job... by our own government? the two buildings both collapsed at an impossible speed. those planes should have only harmed the top floors of those buildings and the main support beams of the building had not been touched. did the buildings actually fall with the help of explosives that were used to take out the main support beams? some say that the building just burned at inncredible speed but the buildings were burned at a temperature higher than jet fuel can burn, by at least two thousand degrees... is this true?

Please... this is nonsense. We saw the planes hit the buildings. Ultimately, the damaged floors were so weakened and hot that they could no longer support the weight of the floors above them. The weight of these floors, and their pile-driving impact, destroyed the buildings.
You think that the US government would deliberately kill 3,000 civilians, including 400 fireman and police? There are 30,000 NYC police who would very handily deal with that situation.

Just to be up front and honest, I am an Electrical Engineer, not a Structural Engineer or an Architectual Engineer, so take my answer with a grain of salt I guess..
The first thing i'd recommend doing is watching a video of a known building demolition, then look at the video of the WTC towers falling. The WTC doesn't look anything close to a controlled demolition. In the WTC buildings, pieces of the side of the building break away and fall independantly of the rest of the building. This isn't something I have ever seen in a controlled demolition. Second, in any video of a controlled demolition, the building falls in "sections", mainly due to the split second difference it takes to detonate the charges due to the varying length of detinating cord used. The WTC seemed to fall in a perfect pancake.
Also, to the best of my understanding, the WTC building was designed so that the outer walls provided the support for the building. Even though a single side is taken out, it does not mean the building will fall over like so many people say it should have. An easy example of this is a soda can. If you stand on top of a soda can and then put a dent in one side, you will not fall over. The can crushes under your weight. Like the WTC, the can is only supporting your weight on the outside edges (since there is nothing in the middle). As soon as one edge is damaged, your weight causes the can to crush, not fall over.
Just my 2 cents

Yes it is true,Hitler once said, and it goes something like this;The more outrageous the terrorist act committed on the people by the government ,the less likely the people will believe it was the government. Structural Engineers from all over the world have all agreed that these three buildings including number 7 came down from controlled explosives.No if, ands, or buts! Basic science tells us that the floor above would have a pause while its weight collapsed the floor beneath it and so on and so forth.The Twin towers came down at a rate of free fall which can only be accomplished by simultaneously destroying the eight inch thick beams on the floors below and this could only be accomplished with explosives.

The burning jet fuel heated the steel supports until they got too soft. Steel loses 50% of its strength at 1200*F, well within the range for burning jet fuel.
When the supports got too weak to hold up the higher floors, those floors fell. The full weight fell on the next lowest floor's supports, which couldn't take it and crumbled, adding more falling mass and smashing the next floor faster.
This effect snowballed until the entire structure collapsed.

Structural Engineers have all agreed that these three buildings were collapsed by explosions. And there are many proofs..
i dont understant why some people just dont want to believe. Jewish Lodge has infultrated every section of the world, mostly in USA. political sections, even Hollywood... The day, 9/11 no jew went to job, no jew died.
And they blame christians and muslims; but the thing they do not say that, in judaism "you dont have a right to live if u r not jew"... They wont stop untill they build the Israel Emperor. Please open your eyes, and stop being prejudiced.

That is one of the conspiracy theories out there.....who's to say that the terrorists themselves didn't plant explosives to guarantee the buildings would fall??
