Below, please find some links. Some (the first five) are to hoaxbuff sites, which try to compare building fires (of very different construction, weight, and with no jet impact or jet fuel), to what happened to the Towers. Others will be to sites which have long since debunked all that. Please note that even the buff sites admit that the Towers had undergone the stresses of fires and the terrorist bomb, and were therefore not in pristine condition when they were hit.
Only the conspiracy buffs claim that the steel melted. The available facts are that the steel was simply heated to the point it could no longer support the floors, which started cascading downward, leaving only a horribly damaged outer shell to take the full weight of the floors above. Since no sideways push existed, the buildings fell straight down.
Secondly, steel that has incredible pressure on anyway needs not melt to bring down a building. When you have steel stressed at high levels naturally then you weaken it by warming it, you certainly can see the metal reach a point where it is overstressed. It need not melt to twist.
The planes did not explode. They collided with a building. This hit caused some support issues by itself. This also added uneven stress to the remaining steel in place.
The shafts of the building became great air/ fuel mixing areas that certainly could cause extreme temps.
The building also remained standing for a long period after the hit. This is typical for stressed steel structures. The metal began shifting and slowly the metal twisted beyond it's tolerance.
The most interesting fact about this concept of the Government doing this deed is the logic behind it. The idea that somehow our Government wanted to hurt itself in the manner it did is beyond absurd.

Why did Afghan groups help with the terrorist attacks in 2001?
It's currently uncertain as to whether they actually did. The Taliban, one of the most influential groups in the Afghan in 2001 had good relationships with Bin Ladin, and there is reason to believe that the Taliban allow Al Quaeda to train in Afghan territory. However, there is no public evidence that Afghan groups other than Al Quaeda had any foreknowledge of the 9/11 attack.
Are there any reports of any interviews from any survivor from the twin towers?
William Rodriguez was the last man out of one of the towers. A brave man and a hero, he has done many talks around the world.
Was September really a terrorist attack?
no, September 11th was a planned attack. it had nothing to do with terrorists. just the evilness of the bush administration.
Why do the American government lie about 911?
Your question is based on the notion that they did; anyone not a conspiracy theorist makes no such unwarranted assumption.
They didn't think you could handle the fact that 19 Islamic terrorists skyjacked 4 US airliners and flew them into prominent buildings in New York and Washington DC.
The simplest explanation is usually the truth.
---------------------
its because if they told you you would realize the truth, that the 9-11 was intended to happen.
--------------------------------
Yes, we deliberately built structures just where those Al Qaeda terrorists wanted to fly. How dare we do such a thing!
