Dubai Address hotel fire

The building didn't collapse. Yes, I know the answer, and I will say it again. The building didn't collapse. That is a fact. I am only posting a fact. Do whatever you want with this fact.

Great. I choose to do nothing with this off-topic and totally irrelevant event which had no reason to be brought up in the first place.

No, it is on-topic. A building caught fire. It did not collapse. That is on-topic. A building caught fire and it did not collapse.

Let me repeat that. A building caught fire, and it didn't collapse.

NO THE BUILDING DID NOT CATCH FIRE......

It was the external cladding which caught fire

Fire did not get into the building and threaten the structural integrity

The fire proofing was intact, there was no structural damage from big a** plane hitting the building

FACT

1) Fire was outside building

2) Fire proofing intact

3) No structural damage

Equals NO BUILDING COLLAPSE

Now run along ......

We are talking about two different fires in the Middle East. This has been clarified multiple times, yet you still chose to ignore this fact.

So, now we have two buildings in the Middle East that caught fire, and neither one collapsed.
 
But the recent fire also involved external cladding and the building was also concrete and had intact fire suppression and the fire was fought
 
Did either building collapse?

No, both you snd I know they didn't collapse. We also know you asked the question in this thread in the way you did to make a rhetorical point about the collapse of the WTC buildings.

What is the rhetorical point you are accusing me of making? Are you going to quote my post #40? If so, I corrected it. I was wrong when I assumed the building was steel-framed. It was actually steel-reinforced concrete.

OK. Post #71 was where I made comparisons to 9/11. They are still somewhat valid, even with the difference in design materials. I did say "somewhat", and not "exactly".

So why do you ask an obviously rhetorical question in the 9/11 forum?
We can see the news reports, we know they haven't collapsed.

The answer is simple. I bring up the fact that the buildings didn't collapse to remind everyone that the buildings didn't collapse. This is a fact. I made a choice to remind everyone. I think I have given enough reminders now - until the next fire, and then I will be back.

Your reminder is an unscientifically irrelevant, comment, why should anyone care?
 
Fire doesn't cause lots of buildings to collapse. Fire does cause other buildings to collapse.
It depends on their construction, size of the fire, fire supprsiion systems and how the fire was fought.

Your point is?

Ummmmmmm,... so what?

Was the name of that building the Dubai Address?

No?

Then it isn't on topic for this thread.

Does any of this have anything whatsoever to do with 9/11 conspiracy theories?

No?

Then it isn't on topic in a forum devoted to 9/11 conspiracy theories.

I respectfully disagree. A building on fire is a building on fire. I mean, if skeptics can keep claiming "a progressive collapse is a progressive collapse" by citing Ronan Point, Skyline Towers and verinage, then I can certainly claim a building on fire is a building on fire. Can't I? If not, what is the difference, other than I'm the one who is saying it?

A building on fire is a building on fire,... and this current derail still without any stated relevance to the OP of this thread or to the topic of 9/11 Conspiracy Theories.

Now then, if you wish to discuss the specifics of building and fire engineering and how completely different circumstances lead to completely different results in two completely unrelated events I am sure there are forums for that.
