Seriously dude? Maybe because the twin towers are freaking skyscrapers and the fire was 800 feet in the air it's a little bit harder to put out the fire than a 5 story office building (that happens to be the biggest in the US, so it could have sustained a lot of damage) Obviously the fire is going to spread up a skyscraper faster than it would spread horizontally across a giant office building. Part of the Pentagon collapsed and it sustained considerable damage, it's not like the fire was magically put out.
And I've never seen anything concrete about it but I'm pretty damn sure they had more than 2 firetrucks for that fire
You missed the point. I didnt ask "how come they couldnt put out the fire at the twin towers?"
The point was this: That jet fuel was hot and powerful enough to melt reinforced steel and make buildings that massive collapse, yet normal fire trucks put thefire out like it was a tiny campfire. I know that couldnt have put that out if they even tried.
As far as the fire trucks go - Google some images. The most fire trucks you see at one time is 2. Pictures dont lie, right?
