I would be very surprised if they didn't bring down some or all of the buildings.

It would be part of contingency planning.

The OP is misleading you. You don't need to reach melting temperature 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.
