Ooo, ya got me again on the semantics. You're so tricky and clever!!
Steel-framed buildings. None have ever collapsed. Completely. From fire. Before or since 9.11.

The McCormick Place fire "is significant because it illustrates the fact that steel-frame buildings can collapse as a result of exposure to fire. This is true for all types of construction materials, not only steel." wrote Robert Berhinig, associate manager of UL's Fire Protection Division and a registered professional engineer. He also discusses UL's steel fire certification much more knowledgably than Kevin Ryan. He is an example of one more highly qualified engineer who supports the collapse theory.

No idea what you're talking about, RedWorm, and you're probably off topic anyway.

I hear the strenuous grunts of a child pushing and dragging goal posts emanating from this post...

Right, because the WTC buildings were ... not steel-framed? They .... didn't collapse completely? And the explanation was something other than fire ?? And the time frame we're talking about doesn't include any time prior to or since 9/11?
What goalposts did you think were there?![]()

Oh.... bless, doesn't this sound familiar?Buildings don't collapse from fire
it's because fire can never harm steel
quite true, anyone that ever took a science class past the 4th grade level knows that a hydro-carbon fire can and will never harm steel
hydro carbon fire, certainly has no affect on steel, as a long time member of the engineering community in the transportaion field, when have you ever seen a car caught on fire or has been burnt on fire?
the steel--chassis-powertrain.steering and suspension all remain whole and intact, despite the fuel tank exploding
you people should be beyond this level or point by now...fire can not and will not harm steel as the wtc saw it
it takes over 4,000 dgerees of consstant and fed temperatures to make steel unstable and this takes numerous hours, over 12 hours in an electric arc, gas or ingot oven.
The thread title...
...is a lie.

"Collapsed into its footprint" is easier to say, obviously. And it's true.
Unless you can tell us where the rest of the building vanished to??![]()
