And therefore the collapse was due to random fire and damage is what you want to say.
Most likely, considering that those are two factors proven to have been there at the time. So far no one has proved that things like thermite were present in controlled forms. Only ONE, count it, one person has claimed to have evidence of it, and no one has replicated his results. In fact, others have refuted his results by testing dust themselves, finding minimal reactions (if I remember correctly. Can't cite a source at the moment on that). The only people who support the dust findings about thermite are the ones who rely on his claimed data. Data that hasn't been reproduced through testing anywhere else, kind of like the Bigfoot DNA that never got sent to other labs for verification. It's a little fishy.
The only evidence for explosives comes from testimony about explosive noises, which are not inherently explosives, especially controlled explosives. The vast majority of explosive claims comes from the impact of the airliner and the collapse of the buildings. The only one that I remain curious about is the firemen who claimed to have seen a ring of flashes around the base (tenth floor or so) of the trade center before it collapsed. Unfortunately, all videos that show the base of the tower are mysteriously edited or glitchy. THAT is where I feel there may be a conspiracy, be it from the conspiracy theorists themselves editing the video to keep people from seeing no evidence of demolitions or from a malicious secret government agency that wanted to unite America and further its economic interests.
The fact that so many here seem to believe they know what would happen to a building like the Trade Centers when an airliner hits it is preposterous. As far as I know, very few here have engineering degrees, and even fewer have actually studied the true mechanics of a collapse within the Trade Centers.
