50. "What caused the towers to collapse was..."
The steel failed because of the temperatures casued by the fire which resulted when jet fuel igntied inside the buildings.

I just can't believe that. If you've ever worked with metal, you know how much CONCENTRATED HEAT it takes to soften it. The temperatures necessary to cause stress related failure in STEEL would have to be close to that of an acetylene torch--and SUSTAINED at that temperature around SEVERAL points for quite some time to cause massive failure. Yet what we see in the video is that, after the initial fireball (which, at its height doesn't come close to the necessary temperatures) the fire began to brun itself out.

I just do not buy this "failure due to jet fuel fire" THEORY. It is a THEORY, that is all, where EXPLOSIVES explains the observed events without stretching credulity.

BY THE WAY, "explosives" do not necessarily imply government involvement. I've often wondered if the buildings weren't "pre wired" for SCUTTLING in case of an emergency.
