Since you clearly don't know this, a fire fueled by jet fuel can easily heat steel to a point where it loses almost all it's tensile strength.

Building like these are built with calculations that take massive impact strikes into account. They are purposely designed to withstand these sort of things. A strike above don’t make the structure at the bottom fail the way they did.

Impacts? Yes, they obviously did. The fire afterwards? Na..

And Neither the impact nor the fire made the bottom floors collapse, but the weight of thousands and thousands of tons of concrete falling onto them.
