angle20 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Grrr... yet again.... the steel didn't melt! The 'heating enough to fail' theory, even if valid, would surely have needed much more time to work: bearing in mind that the 47 reinforcing box columns weighed as much as 2.5 tons per linear foot and were jacketed in asbestos. The fire would only have progressed downwards at the rate at which individual floors were destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
