I used to burn wood to heat my home during the winter. There was a
steel baffle at the top of my stove that warped after I began burning
hardwood. Steel does not have to melt in order to lose its structural
integrity, and the added mass of collapsing floors above the weakened
steel easily explains the collapse of the World Trade Center towers.
I've looked at the accusations concerning demolition and simply
don't buy the theory.
