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.

No, they were not designed to withstand a 767 with full fuel tanks slicing through multiple floors' worth of crucial supports. The fires alone probably would not have dropped the towers, but combined with the huge amount of structural damage from the impact and explosion, that was enough to cause the collapse.
Anyone who sits here and says that these buildings were designed to withstand that is the low IQ type of conspiracy theorist that doesn't have the faintest clue about what they're talking about, and are just regurgitating what they heard an equally-clueless person shit out online.
Why do you believe that? Because you arbitrarily decided to believe it? Because some other retard said it online?
The rest of your comment is irrelevant since I wasn't talking about building 7 and I wasn't disputing that the "official" story is far from what actually went down. I just don't need to invent insane, stupid bullshit when reality works just fine. All the people going on about holograms, mass brainwashing, millions of "actors", that nobody actually died on 9/11, etc. are all literally retarded.
