Just for argument's sake because I haven't watched the film, but I'm guessing that the cigarette you're referring to was probably measured in an open environment with some force drawing air through it. I guessing that the point the film makes probably has something to do with insufficient ventilation to allow for thorough combustion. Put that cigarette under a glass and see how hot and long it burns.
In the bombing of the basement of the WTC, many people had to be treated for respiratory problems, because they towers acted as chimneys and draged all the smoke to the upper floors. In the same way, air could be vented from below dowards the fires, making them burn hotter.

QuoteSteel doesn't burn it MELTS. And it depends upon the TYPE of steel. >http://www.cowtown.net/mikefirth/techspec.htm#MELTINGPQuoteYou can believe it if you want, but the basic tennet of the video is that "steel can not burn." Which is a quote from the video.
Steel can and will burn. It takes an extreme amount of heat, but it can and will burn. If you've ever done any sort of metal work you would know that.
The "boom" of an "explosion" predated the collapse. Of course it did, it was the sound of the floors collapsing prior to the central structures collapsed allowing for the building to collapse.
The section talking about the temperature of the fire is using outside visual data, which is less then reliable data at the very least. "Well, it didn't look hot, since it was orange flames on the outside..." Whatever, since no one is alive that saw or felt what the fire really was doing on the inside.
Its a Titanic arguement. "It couldn't have happened since it was designed not to happy, sure it couldn't really happen at all, its impossible because we said its impossible." This is regardless of the fact that it did happen.
The three main ingredients required for combustion are fuel, oxygen, and heat. If oxygen is present along with a fuel combustion will occur when the ignition temperature is reached. Ignition temperature is dependent upon several variables which include, but are not limited to, the materials properties, surface area, density, and composition. Don't think steel can burn? Take a match to a piece of steel wool. Better yet, talk to anyone who has made a living using an oxy-acetylene torch.

QuoteQuotefirstly you couldn't have watched the whole video because of the time of your post.
Various conspiracy theorists have been touting this crap for the last 5 years...we've ALL seen it before, AND discussed it, as a quick search would have shown you.

I'm afraid I'll have to point out the South Park theory...the 9/11 Conspiracy is a government conspiracy because 1/4 of the country is retarded and need something other than the fact it was a bunch of "pissed off Muslims" to believe.
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!
