Honest question, how does a jet strip a coating? How then would that one section where the jet fuel was burning then soften the steel so many floors below that the building would collapse like an implosion? I would think that much like the videos of which you speak it would cause the building to lean and topple like a melting candlestick instead of spontaneously implode right into it's own footprint. Just some honest curiosity. I don't know one way or the other but I have a brain and logic and I've never understood this.

jet fuel in open air burns at like 400 degrees, nowhere near 2700 degrees lol

in thrust it burns at 900 by force from air pressure, because of a chemical reaction specifically designed for that

there was no way that ever could've been a factor

there was absolutely that one extremely flammable metal dust that was implemented in the buildings

Thanks for the info. All of it seems beyond suspect to me

The OP is misleading you. You can run up a furnace to very high temperatures just by having a hole that air rushes through (with a fan, or wind). You don't need to reach 2700 to affect a steel structure - you can weaken the steel and produce strange unplanned loads at lower temperatures and cause failure cascades.

Here is the NIST story about WTC7: https://youtu.be/PK_iBYSqEsc

Myles Power made a video about WTC7: https://youtu.be/7PpsCCTMP8w

I don't endorse him on other topics, but this particular video is good.
