I witnessed the Towers being built on a weekly basis. I've seen their skeletons and such, and I just don't see how damage at the tops could bring the Towers down.
The changes in how the weight is distributed would have enough sheer force to easily implode a steel frame building regardless of size. The shaping charges in building demolition alone would do little damage even if put all together and exploded in the middle of one floor but remove enough structural integrity by cutting key supports brings a cascading amount of eponental pressure to bear.

And putting heat and fire as equals is incorrect
the fire triangle is: heat fuel and oxygen this creates
fire.

The jetfuel and office enterior (Fuel), impact (Heat) and gaping hole produced by the collision damage provided enough (oxygen) to make a largescale blast furnace wich could indeed melt steel supports which BTW only need to be weakened not cut in-order to cause an implosion.

I thought you guys believed in science. If benifit of the doubt is too much to wrap your bean around try out try Occam's Razor
