What’s this? the NYT reported that a 3-alarm fire burned 6 floors of the WTC in 1975 for 3 hours and the fire was so hot it was like a constant "blowtorch". Luckily there were no sprinkler systems then.
one NY plaza also had a fire in 1970, no sprinkler then either, just a couple of collapsed floors and 6 hours of fire. It appears that the longer a fire burns the less likely it will cause a building to collapse.
The strange thing is, the fire inspectors have known about this since the 1970’s(the fire proofing and all that), subsequently, most buildings in NY were renovated to meet new standards. The WTC also needed these renovations, it was going to cost ALLOT of money. Luckily for Larry Silverstein he took out a new insurance policy and just months later, the awful coincidental tragedy left him with a large payment that was also doubled, after all, it was two planes, so he should be paid double.
Now I understand why he ordered to "pull" building 7, if he hadn’t, the raging inferno inside might of allowed the building to remain standing.
