They attacked the WTC for the US meddling in the ME and supporting Israel.

. An engineer could tell you the melting point of the steel and temp of burning jet fuel. But by that point everyone was doomed.
quote:
Each plane was carrying thousands of pounds of jet fuel, which burns at 2,190 degrees Fahrenheit, a great deal lower than the temperature required to melt steel (2,750).
Experts and investigations conclude that steel didn’t have to melt to cause collapse. Instead, the planes entering the buildings at 750 feet per second caused significant damage. They were banked at an angle that took out multiple floors upon impact and likely stripped the fireproofing from the core load-bearing structures on those floors. Jet fuel then ignited everything inside the buildings.
Steel weakens at as low as 400 degrees. At 980, it’s at only 10 percent strength, according to industry experts. As the core steel columns weakened, load-bearing was transferred to the building’s shell. As the fires continued to burn, multiple floors weakened, sagged, and pulled on the outside structure causing total collapse.
The jet fuel followed the path of least resistance, incidentally, which means some of it flowed down the elevator shafts from the top of the building, causing explosions and fireballs on lower floors, which conspiracy theorists sometimes cite as evidence of bombs.

Right, because Iraq was a peace loving country harboring no individuals with ties to the 9/11 attacks.
He could have made his point any other day of the year, but he chose 9/11 to be an attention whore and cause controversy.
Ironically this will hurt him more than it will help.

Who in Iraq was part of 9/11? The US has ties to those that committed 9/11 and is such a peace loving natoon. Why hasn't the US dealt with Saudi Arabia as most the hijackers came from there? HMMMM

You can but it causes events like 9/11. If you're okay with being the collateral damage for the actions of the US government meddling be my guest.

try to put out the fire? If the building didn't collapse you think the fire would've never been put out or they wouldn't have been able to save a number of people?
I really doubt it. The plane didn't go away. It's a 757 (I think) trapped in an office building floor. I doubt they could get within 2-3 floors before heat and threat of above floor (floor jet came to rest on) falling on them. All above floor would be a total loss.
