Can an engineer or a 9/11 conspiracy expert please explain how a fire can collapse a bridge?

I'm no expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once...I'm pretty sure a raging inferno can weaken the structural integrity of a steel and concrete structure.

That's not the point. The point is that crack pipes can't melt, I mean ignite, pvc!!!!

Moisture in the concrete heated to a gaseous state causing the bridge to destroy itself as the steam ruptures the concrete trying to escape.

The bridge that collapsed was constructed using prestressed concrete girders. Given enough intensity and time exposed to fire, concrete will begin to deteriorate and the reinforcement and prestressing strands within elongate due to the weight of the structure. This allows the girder to bend or sag and eventually collapse.

The fuel burned it so hot it was weakening... so "they" deiced to "pull it" cause so much was already lost
