Airline fuel and moderate crash damage bringing down a steel reinforced building at near free fall speeds and in under an hour is impossible. That's where all this stuff stops. We can pretend the building reached unbelievable temperatures, and we can believe that passport survived, and we can belive that even though some of the terrorists survived, the FBI and CIA figured out the whole story...but at the end of the day, something impossible happened. We can pretend that those impossible temperatures reached were able to thermally expand beam after beam after beam, somehow weakening the whole thing, desipte there being no evidence to suggest that, but the damed things came down too fast after being hit, and they fell to the ground too fast. While it doesn't take a physicist to figure it out, I was finally able to get a hold of someone...my physics teacher from HS. He holds his masters from Stanford, and he knows more about physics than most people, myself included. Guess what? After about 2 hours of discussion, I had his full and undivided attention. It took him a few weeks to get back to me, but he said that my case was a lot stronger than any of the official cases, espically the NIST report (I gave him my copy). The collapse was not explained by reaonable science. At the end of the day, something impossible happened.
