Weird shit happens, huh? I'd call that purely evasive.
Since the steel began to "Bend", we'll assume that the temperature in the building was somewhere around 2500 degrees farenheit. Paper burns at 451 degrees farenheit; That's a difference of 2049 degrees farenheit.
...And yet you tell me that there's some plausible way that the government was able to recover a paper passport from the wreckage? If the (Supposed) high temperature in the towers didn't burn the passport, then the explosion caused by the plane hitting one of the twin towers would have.
Here's something to think about. The engineers who worked on the WTC buildings in the early 70's over-specified the materials used. The core supports were made of high carbon indutrial steel which doesn't begin to weaken until exposed to temperatures in excess of 2500F for several hours. They even considered the possiblility of airplane collision. However, both towers collapsed within 90 minutes. It doesn't add up.
