Docbungle, I think will is trying to show us that, while planes crashed into the building, that impact and the resulting fire were not enough to account for the collapse of the buildings that followed. I'm not trying to steal his thunder, but if will can convince people that the force of impact and heat of the burning jet fuel shouldn't have caused a collapse like the one we saw, we'll have to start thinking about what other factors could have been present.
At that point, we'd be in conspiracy theory territory, but we'd have a reason to be there. I don't quite think we've gotten there - in part because we got derailed by questions over what type of plane hit the WTC. I thought the video editor that dilbert posted was pretty convincing... Personally, I'm still thinking that those planes were 767s.
