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.

One of the main idiocies of the 9/11 truth "movement" is the idea that a building would be strong enough to do anything but "fall into its foot print". It's not a log; it relies on steel beams being straight and restrained in place and the load being predominately straight in the direction of gravity with just some wind loads. If you lean a building like that over 10 degrees, it collapses. You see that e.g. on the WTC1 and 2 collapses, where the outer beams are warped by trusses expanding and contracting in the fire and when it eventually fails on one side, it does start to rotate; after a little bit of rotation it can no longer hold and the top pieces just pancakes down into the building.

"And it fell into it's own footprint" so much that debris sprayed across a city block, causing a ten story tall massive gouge in WTC7.
