22. I don't think the question.....
is one of, does fire cause a collapse. It is more of what type of collapse should we expect to see, caused by a fire.

The Madrid fire is exactly the type of collapse you would expect from a fire weakening a steel structure. It is asymmetrical, different areas collapsing at different times as they lost their structural support.

None of the WTC collapses resemble this, they are all symmetrical. The most puzzling of all is WTC 7 because of it's lack of structural damage. For a fire to cause the collapse of WTC 7, in the manner it fell, all of the exterior columns and the core columns must have weakened simultaneously, except for 79, 80 and 81, they weakened first and caused the kink.

I try not to believe my lying eyes because they might see the truth.
