Perhaps a clear head will lead you to find that high heat doesn't have to melt steel. Well before it melts, the steel loses its structural integrity, making it unable to support the weight it was designed to. Add to that major structural damage which greatly increases the weight load to the surviving structure, and it takes even less heat.
Then you might see all the non-steel metal in an office building and place, which melts well below the point of steel, accounting for molten metal on 9/11.
Then you might also notice that no account of molten steel was actually from 9/11, but from weeks later, after a long period of contained fires within the ruble, shown by satellite photos to be over 1000 degrees.

No one ever said that steel melted at 9/11.
QUOTE “In no instance did NIST report that steel in the WTC towers melted due to the fires.”
From Point 7 in
http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/factsheets/faqs_8_2006.htm
The reason that the towers collapsed was:
1) The jets first knocked out numerous supports when they flew into the towers.
2) This meant that the remaining supports were almost at their load-limit (they were supporting 200,000 tons)
(each tower weighed about 500,000 tons)
3) The fires then caused the supports to weaken & bend
(Steel loses 90 %, yes 90 %, of its strength at 1100 deg C, which is the temp of a building fire. The steel did not "melt")
4) Photographs clearly showed the steel supports bending:
There was “…inward bowing of the exterior columns, reaching an observable maximum of about 55 in. near column 316 on the 96th floor. The inward deflection appeared to extend over the entire south face of the building at this time, and was visible between the 94th and 100th floors.”
From: NIST (National Institute of Science & Technology) NCSTAR 1-3 Section E.3.5
http://wtc.nist.gov/NISTNCSTAR1-3.pdf
5) This bending was a sign of impending collapsed which followed 5 minutes after the bending was observed.
----------------Another Point
CLAIM: The hole the plane made in the Pentagon is smaller than the diameter of the jet
FACT: The Pentagon hole was 90 feet in diameter, which is huge, but still somewhat smaller that the fusilage diameter
This is explained by Professor Mere Sozen, a “Kettelhut Distinguished Professor Civil Engineering” at Perdue University.
Professor Sozen says that it’s the energy of the plane, not its size, that determines the size of the hole.
The plane is not a cartoon character that punches out its outline. Moving at 531 MPH it’s more fluid than solid, & this explains why you get the hole you got.
See how Prof Sozen used supercomputers to analyze the impact at:

Don't worry. There are plenty of propagandists to keep you in line when you begin to realize that a faction in our government is willing to kill Americans to promote imperialist war and that the rest of the ruling elite, realizing the implictions of such a revelation, will work hard to continue on with the official ruse.

You may experience serious side-effects, such as coherence, common sense, as well as a temporary need to do thorough and well-executed research. You may also acquire a sudden need to produce more intelligent questions.
Suggested meds may include ones that balance the inappropriate lack of information with the appropriate amount of sarcasm.

Yeah well there is another Pill that makes people believe that Iraq is responsible for 911 and we went there to fight the terrorists.
How many terrorists have we killed?
How many innocent people have we killed?

Well Mr. Mole, why don't you tell us,
What caused all that supposed melted steel ?
And please don't say demolition, because you cannot show us, melted steel from any other building demolition, ever done.

the one that also lets you belive a whole jet can fit through the little hole left in the side of the pentegon?
yeah.... It wont work people will think you are crazy!

Last time I checked it collapsed, not melted.
