Hi Chris,

Nobody (at least nobody I know) questions the fact that WTC 1 and WTC 2 were hit by aircraft. What we question is whether this alone can bring the buildings down. The official conspiracy theory says the fire weakened the steel. The first building was hit straight on and the fuel all burnt inside, yet it stood far longer, eventually collapsing after the second building which had a corner clipped by an aircraft whose fuel burnt outside (as evidenced by the huge fireball). The second building could not have withstood as much structural damage as the first one and it fell after just ten minutes. Go figure.
