I'd love to see those videos.

The steel in WTC was rated at something like 2000 C degrees.... jet fuel burns in OPEN AIR, less then 500 C, and according to wiki is at 287.5 C degrees. Mind you... that's OPEN AIR.
It was on TV around 9/11 this year.. Can't remember what the program was called but it had all these experts and guys doing experiments etc.. then it showed the results to the leading conspiracy guys and it was fun to watch them hum and haw and start to make unplausable excuses etc. It was funny.. They would sit there and say.. well this experiement didn't do x... but I have yet to see any experiments done by them to prove their theories.

The jet fuel burned a hell of a lot hotter than 500C in open air.. they were monitoring the temperature and it reached the levels that the official explanation said it would have inside the building. It only took something like 5-10 minutes for the steel beam to start to weaken and bend etc. Actually, I'm not sure how hot it got. Can't remember if they were displaying C or F..
