Somewhere last week I heard that usual building fires hit 1500 F, but the
jet fuel got it up to 2500 F; whatever the numbers, I heard several times
that the heat from the jet fuel weakened the steel/ bent it, and hence the
floor-by-floor (they don't use 4x4's) collapse. Impact was not the issue.

I think they figured on a "normal" fire, not one resulting
from a full cross-country load of fuel.
