Some time ago I watched a documentary about a guy demolishing industrial chimneys without explosives. He knocked out bricks in the bottom of the chimney and replaced them with wooden props strong enough to take the weight of the structure. Then he lit a fire. When the props burned to the point they were too weak to take the load, the whole thing collapsed. The twin tower collapse was similar - burning jet fuel weakened the steel structure till it could no longer support the weight of the floors above. The structure had fireproof cladding, but not enough to withstand the intense heat for long enough.

Really, you picked that as the best answer?????

No, there isn't.
To date more than 100 papers have been published in peer-reviewed physics and structural engineering journals which have been read by tens if not hundreds of thousands of experts in the field. All support the "natural collapse" theory. More importantly, zero papers have been published in zero peer-reviewed physics and structural engineering journals supporting any other mechanism for the collapse of the Twin Towers.
You don't EVER hear about any of these papers on the conspiracy nutter web sites or on Youtube because they contain actual science which confuses conspiracy nutters and agitates them.
Besides of course the NIST report here are just a few other sources for review.

No there is not. The planes started fires which did the damage to the buildings and the impact points were just perfect to do what happened based on the design.

Once AGAIN, it was NOT the airplanes that cause the collapse, it was the FIRE caused BY the fuel IN the airplanes... We're talking THOUSANDS of gallons...

Here we go again!
This will eand in tears, just like any question relating back to 9/11.
What's done is done, so get over it!
