I tend not to use the fire argument, since it is too easily rebutted in various ways.

I guess the big issues for me are:

1) extreme speed of the structural failure-- close to free-fall speed for the twin towers

2) completeness and symmetry of the destruction-- down to the base, loss of core, all sides gone

3) extreme degree of pulverization of concrete; lack of stacked up floor slabs in the debris pile

4) disappearance/disintegration/vaporization of over 1,000 bodies, most office contents (e.g. filing cabinets)

5) large and powerful explosive squibs coming out below destroyed zone during the destruction

6) complete loss of the upper 30 story block of the south tower during the destruction with concomitant midair explosions

7) massive flaws or impossibility of the official "piledriver" and "crushdown/crushup" mechanisms
