Problem with fire theory – Lack of fire
NIST says the main cause of the collapses of WTC1, 2 and 7 was high-temperature fires. However, these towers do not appear to have raging fires in them before they suddenly collapsed. WTC1 fell within 1 hour of being hit by a plane. Fires in WTC1 were in two floors at the time of the collapse. No flames shoot out of the windows.
Two towers – one on raging fire, the other one only minimal fire

The North Tower falls at 0:27 in this video.
Area of building on fire before it fell was small
A still from the video above: North Tower 22 seconds before it fell. Only a small area of the building is on fire. Most of the building was not on fire. This picture shows the north-east face of the tower, the face that the plane hit. The outline of the hole made by the plane strike can be seen a little further up from the fire. Flames are barely visible and are only on a couple of floors. The initial fire that flared up when the plane made its impact seems to have mostly died out by this time in the video was reached.
Extent of fire in North Tower at 10:28am, time of fall
The North Tower fell at 10:28am. Diagram from NIST shows the extent of the fire at 10:28am, the time of the tower’s collapse. Fires are present on two floors: the 92nd and 98th floors.

There is very little fire in WTC2 on the right before it collapses. On the other hand, there is obviously a lot of fire in the Windsor Tower before it starts collapsing. Only the top six floors of Windsor Tower collapsed, and mainly the masonry. The steel skeleton of the building was still intact at the end, including the top six floors, when the fire had burned out, almost 24 hours later.

Fire started at 11.00pm on the 21st floor. On the right, close up shot of the fire
The fire ravages its way up to the roof.
By 3am, 4 hours after the fire starts, the top six floors are completely gutted and start collapsing.
Top six floors crumble and the next morning a black hull is left
The burnt out building–floors are still distinguishable. The fire burned out almost 24 hours later. The black skeleton frame is still standing.

Historic tower that was built in 1979. Building codes then did not require sprinkler systems or fire protection around beams. Fire erupts in the 21st floor.

North Tower on the right only had small fires that were barely visible through the windows, on the 92nd and 98th floor before it suddenly collapsed. The picture on the right shows the extent of the fire before it fell. On the left is a tower in Dubai on fire. GIF taken from comparison video below. The North Tower fell less than an hour after the plane hit it.

Squibs
GIF showing smoke puffs shooting out before it starts to collapse
Smoke plumes are clearly seen shooting out from the right side of the North Tower right before the building starts to disintegrate and fall. These were probably smoke plumes of squibs being detonated.
Before and after images of squib smoke plumes
Before: no squib plumes
Squib plumes shoot out right before collapse
Flames of a fireball while it starts to collapse
These flames were not present before it collapsed. Only small fires were present on the 92nd and 98th floors, seem as a thin line of flame, that were only visible through the windows. The flames in the GIF are large flames from a fireball.

Squib puffs appear below the dust plumes.

WTC Building 7 – Collapse and lack of fire
WTC Building 7 – minimal fire before it fell
WTC7 like WTC1 and WTC2 had minimal fire before it suddenly collapsed
WTC Building 7 – the extent of the fire shortly before it fell
Fire was only on two floors
WTC7 shortly before it collapsed
Flames do not shoot out of the building as they do in a building on raging fire.
Comparison of WTC7 before it fell and Grozny Tower
WTC Building 7 is on the left, shortly before it falls, and Grozny Tower in Chechnya is on the right.
GIF comparing fires of Windsor Tower on left and WTC7 shortly before it fell
The two buildings’ fires appear very different. On the left, in Windsor Tower, the fire is obviously raging fiercely, and on the right, Building 7 shows small fires on two floors. Flames hardly reach the outside. The fire in Windsor Tower lasted for almost 24 hours before burning out. Cladding fell from the tower but the 32 story building still stood, its steel skeleton still standing. In contrast, Building 7 crumbled into dust after several hours.
Windsor Tower after the fire burned out
Even though the fire burned for almost 24 hours, the skeleton framework is still intact and the building is still standing.
