A B-25 with long range tanks carried 974 US gallons of fuel. A 767 carries 29,980 US gallons; more than enough to create fires of very high but variable intensity. Those fires were hot enough to cause the steel to lose structural strength and to distort as a result of temperature variation. It's just basic metallurgy.
Um, rubbish.
The NIST report acknowledges 90% of the remaining fuel load went on impact. But that's a red herring.
Wait, so you're telling me next to no fuel exploded (was vaporised) when the plane hit the building? Sweet.
Loss of structural strength in 80+ floors (below the impacted floors) of mega reinforced, over engineered steel.
And a remarkable, symmetrical fall in next to free fall speed.
Zero chance.
Try harder.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
