(33,982 posts)What happened on 9/11 HAS happened before in steel structure fires. The Windsor Tower in Madrid, a perennial CT'ist canard is actually a FANTASTIC example.
1 fire started in one location via an electrical short spread throughout the building. 3 hours into the fire, all of the steel framed components of the building above the top mechanical floor collapsed to the street. It is an excellent example, but requires that one understand how, and out of what, both buildings were constructed.
In Madrid, all the components made of concrete pillar construction stood just fine. Had to be actively torn down. All of the upper penthouse sections and meeting rooms that were framed out of steel, collapsed, just like WTC7. To the street. Dynamically.
So your 'history of architecture' (actually engineering, not all architects are building materials engineers, etc) is incomplete.
But since I don't have my head in the sand, I can clearly see it. And keep that fucking 'bush cheney apologist' brush the FUCK away from me. I'd have both of them in jail for criminal negligence at the LEAST for the failures that led up to the planes hitting the buildings in the first place, so don't even DREAM of starting with me.
