If you guys want to see a video that will make you guys questions some s**t check out a video called "Loose Change".

Conspiracy theories, heh. found a VERY good scientific answer to that whole 'melting point of steel is higher than jet fuel can burn' point here:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...0010454AAEhMIJ (labeled as best answer).
To sum: yeah, jet fuel doesn't burn at the temperature that steel melts at. but, the burning jet fuel keeps adding heat to the steel. if the steel isn't able to dissipate this heat faster than more heat gets added, the temp of the steel continues to climb even if the temp of the fire remains the same.
I don't think I did that explanation justice with my very limited understanding of physics, so be sure to read the actual thing and form your own opinions off of that, not my horrible summary of it.
Anyway, back on topic, those are some powerful photos there. But I like how they included the pic of the new tower going up towards the end
