Name ONE steel framed building that had suffered heavy damage and burned that DID NOT collapse. Just one.
By February 26 city officials had determined One Meridian Plaza was not in danger of collapse.[11] There was structural damage to horizontal steel beams and floor sections on most of the fire damaged floors. Under extreme fire exposure the beams and girders sagged and twisted and cracks appeared in the concrete floors. However, the overall structure was stable and able to support the weight of the building. Thermal expansion of the steel frame caused some of the granite panels to be dislodged from the building's facade.[1] The streets and buildings around One Meridian Plaza were closed and cordoned off.[11] The 20-story Morris Building and several three-story shops behind One Meridian Plaza on Chestnut Street were damaged by falling debris and sat unused for years until they were demolished in 2000.[12][13] The neighboring Girard Trust Building, then called Two Mellon Plaza, experienced extensive water damage forcing the closure of the building. A bank in the building reopened a month later but the rest of the tower remained vacant for years.[14][15] The roads around the building were closed for months after the fire, including a portion of two of Philadelphia's major streets, Broad and Market.[2]

Also I find it quite hard to believe that a construction solid enough to support elevators and stairways would cave in just like that. I'd expect at least a significant part of the central core to remain standing. When the towers were build, they first created the core (which stood on itself) and then put the exoskeleton in place, So, the central core CAN stand on its own without the support of the exoskeleton.

I will go back to my original point and turn this around. Name ONE steel framed building, besides the three in NY on 9/11, which collapsed into its own footprint due to fire.

No, I said this
"Name ONE steel framed building that had suffered heavy damage and burned that DID NOT collapse."
You keep forgetting that all three of those buildings were heavily damaged, THEN they burned, THEN they collapsed. Still waiting for an example of a building that has suffered that kind of heavy damage, burned and did not fall.

The coincidental missing $2.3 trillion
The footprint of the crash into the pentagon was like that of a missile, not a 757. Doesn't match at all.
No good and clear video of the crash,
in spite of it being the most protected airspace in the world.
There is more.

They didn't "first create the core, which then stood by itself."
Do you REALLY believe this?
The whole tower was created a few COMPLETE floors at a time. They would build some floors, Then move up the self climbing cranes and build a few more COMPLETE floors.
This is why I don't agrue this crap anymore, this will get ignored and the next bs theory will be brought up. Like no planes, steel vaporizing energy weapons, mini nukes...............and on and on.
I will believe that yes, 4 planes flown by 19 hijakers, brought down 3 towers and part of the pentagon on 9/11, until it is PROVEN otherwise.
And posts like I replied to here DO NOT help the ct side. Please gain a little KNOWLEDGE before exposing the lack of to all.
Did our government know? Maybe. Are there things we don't know that went on that day? probably.
But come on now..............
When we come for them they wont know whether to cry or soil themsevles but be sure they wont do one thing : fight back.
