The claim that jet fuel cannot melt steel beams is true. However, steel, when heated, becomes pliable and in the case of the WTC, became structurally unstable to the point that it could no longer support the weight of the building. https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/infrastructure/a18578/metalworker-shows-why-jet-fuel-cant-melt-steel-beams-is-such-a-dumb-argument/ https://steelfabservices.com.au/can-jet-fuel-melt-steel-beams/ https://sheerforceeng.com/2022/06/13/can-steel-beams-be-melted-by-jet-fuel/#
