There's an agrument that while they don't melt they become malleable enough.

It's not even an argument, it's just a simple fact. You've got an entire building's weight sitting on top of a bunch of metal beams while the extremely high temps are causing them to fatigue and fail. It shouldn't be a hard concept for people to understand, yet so many deny basic physics.
I'm not denying that the trade center destruction isn't a conspiracy, but this steel beam/jet fuel "argument" is one that only total retards still bring up.

The buildings are specifically designed to withstand fires, They can hold multiple times their own weight. They are over engineered for these exact situations. Even if it could cause a collapse, there is no way the top half of the building could completely crush the bottom half under gravity alone.
WTC 7 wasn't even hit by a plane. The official story is that it apparently feel down to office fires. Steel framed high rises are designed to be completely engulfed in flames and not fall. WTC 7 only had fires on a few floors. The official story involves a sequence of extremely unlikely events.The most impossible part is that WTC 7 fell at free fall acceleration. You can only achieve this acceleration when there is no resistance.
Dr Hulsey who is a professor of engineering at alaska fairbanks released his report of the collapse of WTC 7 just a few weeks ago. They determined that it is impossible for fires to cause the collapse of WTC 7.
