i thought all giant steel buildings collapsed when they catch on fire?

only thermite specially placed on the support columns and synchronized to go off bring down giant steel buildings

or burning jet fuel from a plane that just crashed into it perhaps?

I must have missed the part where it said the chinese building was lit on fire with 60,000 gallons of jet fuel.

The planes that hit the twin towers had a max fuel capacity of around 11,000 gallons, but were destined for short routes so probably had much less than that on board.

even if you were right, which apparently according to hartman you're not, do you think that say, 5,000 gallons of jet fuel would weaken a structure enough to bring the building down?
