Robert Berhinig, UL Fire Safety expert, 1967: “steel frame buildings can collapse as a result of… fire. This is true for all types of construction materials, not only steel.”
Look again at my YouTube part 16 Eyewitness Accounts re Building 7; Foreknowledge of Destruction http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajIr2G4wFn4. One firefighter after another testifies that they feared a collapse of Building 7. I made a huge leap of logic in saying these guys must have believed that fire could bring a building like this down if they predicted it would in fact collapse
When I said steel-reinforced concrete buildings are "fair game" for comparison based on the fact that I think Richard Gage did this (or were all those burning buildings he showed steel-frame only with no concrete supporting or protecting the structural columns?), I didn't say Richard was lying so I could too. I was saying that if Richard is using steel-reinforced concrete buildings as examples, so can I.
Still working on getting this straight so my correction can be clear and complete.
A fine difference if I may say so. I have many videos of firemen saying things like 'watch out for that building, it's going to blow up' or 'the building will be coming down soon' I also have live audio of one of the female workers from WTC7 saying to Bonnie Faulkner that the FDNY explicitly told her that they were going to bring building 7 down.
You have firemen who say that they thought the building was going to collapse. Whatever they said no steel framed hi-rise as EVER collspsed from fire anywhere on the planet..EVER. Even NIST themselves in their final report on WTC7 say that there was no structural damage to the building that could have contributed to it's collapse. So how the firemen you mention knew that the building would collapse is anybody's guess.
That safety expert you quote is demonstrably completely wrong as regards hi-rise steel framed buildings for the obvious reasons already given.
