But that seems strange given that a modern steel building has never colapsed from fire ... and given that building seven was located on the oposite end of the block. Steel buildings have only come down due to bombs (or in the case of buildings 1 and 2 suposedly planes). Some buildings have even burned for days or weeks without colapsing, such as the tower in madrid spain. Steel doesnt melt until about 2000 degrees.
WTC Building number 7 was not attacked by terrorists and was not hit by an airplane and had minimal fires, why did it colapse on the afternoon of 9-11?
Just some questions that I have always had... and have never been able to get any real answers.
I would appreciate your thoughts.
refer to the links in the first post for more info on building seven, or google it.

There are literally dozens of options that pass Occam's Razor far better than 'governmental conspiracy theory' and still meet your bizarre recollection of steel-based buildings . . . for instance, how about a combination of heat and simple harmonic motion from two massive buildings falling nearby? Remember that shock from the plane impact and then from the buildings falling caused damage for hundreds of yards, in terms of windows blown out and debris causing destruction.
You're oversimplifying if you're only considering the melting point of steel in the conversation. Think of how little, in terms of raw explosive charge, it takes to implode a building. In extreme circumstances such as 'two skyscrapers falling on the same block' those same conditions could be met through random force interactions.
