I've already shown you the link that TheFeds provided where Eager claimed the columns were tack welded, not butt welded. It's another claim where you are in opposition to an expert. For some reason you keep blowing right past it when it's been presented to you 4 times prviously. I will present it once again:Thank you,
Sincerely provided correction. I clearly remember that the interior box columns were butt welded and that no x-rays would be provided. As a welder who could probably do an x-ray weld, I know that a couple of bubbles in a piece that size is not critical because the joint is so much better than one that is bolted.
Here is a welded column. interior box column. Butt weld up and to the right of the floor beam intersection, note ground surface in extrudede tube. This piece is from higher in the tower as it is extruded.

And the picture you link appears to show not a butt weld, but the beam clips welded onto the column. Clips are welded to each visible side of the column in that picture and you can clearly see where the bolts join the beams to the clips.
