Could steal beams in the Twin Towers really have melted?

The destruction reported regarding september 11 may not have actually occored. There are many conspiracy theories surrounding this monumental event and this analysis may lend weight to some of them. Considering this was the first time anything like this had happened before we don't really have much in the way of experience to draw upon. As a result engineers turn to similar results in other areas as a comparison. This guy reckons there's no way those steal beams could have melted due to the impact and explosion of the planes.
