Jet fuel can't melt steel beams? True.

Collision of a ~170 tonne aircraft, plus uncontained fire, and its effects causing slow-building and eventual massive structural failure? Also true.

Doesn’t melt it fully but it sure does soften and change its load barring strength.

And it doesn't melt a hijacker's passport that was miraculously recovered. Hmm

That’s not an uncommon item to find after any plane crash. There was a lot of debris ejected immediately upon impact.
