If it's anything like the floor pours I've seen the metal deck is supported by temporary braces while the concrete is poured.Once the concrete has set the braces can be removed and you can brace the next floor ready for its pour.
Problem is, we can't be sure in most photos, but here's one:I can give you a list of other items that are missing too such as the floorpans. There should be around 5,000 of these, each 1/47th of an acre in size made of 20mm steel. (almost inch-thick steel) So that's ?....let's see....5,000 x 900 square foot floorpans. Where are they ? Can you show me as many as two or three ?

Wow do they make floor pans from the metal decking then and pour a few hundred tons of concrete into it ? Strong stuff eh ? Only half as thick as the aluminium in the fuselage of a 767. About the same as a razor blade I guess.

Twisted and torn into largely unrecognizable scraps, bill. Do you really expect them to still be in large square sheets?

So where are all these 20-gauge floorpans ? About 5,000 of them.900 square feet each. The concrete is gone for the most part but the steel floorpans are still there all over the place aren't they ..?

Sounds about right.
She forgot, this was done for her before. She is in reruns now, not sure when the writer strike will be over.110 story's of 20 gage sheetmetal (.0349) = less than 4 inches. (3.949 inches)
