The issue of whether the fire was hot enough to _melt_ the steel beams
may be another red herring -- it just had to be hot enough to soften
them enough so that the already damaged supports for one floor broke.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology issued their final

stating that the likely cause of the collapse was *both* debris and
fire. Most conspiracy videos do not show the collapse of the east
penthouse, a structure added to the building after its construction.
The penthouse structural failure preceeded the the global collapse of
the building by 8.2 seconds. See slide 26 for the failure timeline.
