What, No Collapse?

But how could that be after September 11, 2001?

"The seven-alarm fire began about 3:40 p.m. on the 14th or 15th floor of the Deutsche Bank building and spread through several floors. Its cause was not immediately known.

A woman who lives nearby told The Associated Press:

"We heard this crashing, and then a huge fire that went up three floors fast. It was massive."

By about 8:30 p.m., the fire was all but extinguished, said Andrew Troisi, spokesman for the city's Office of Emergency Management."

[It burned for nearly FIVE HOURS?! And the building was only forty stories high?

HOW CAN THAT BE?

110-story buildings -- TWO of them -- "burned" for LESS THAN TWO HOURS and BOTH COLLAPSED!!

WTF?!?!

And what is with WTC 7, which had the same type of two-floor fires?

"Officers at the scene were preventing nearby residents from returning to their homes even to rescue pets, telling them that authorities were concerned the former Deutsche Bank office building... could fall. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that fear turned out to be unfounded.

The blaze began about a dozen floors up and was burning on multiple floors... Some firefighters... smashed out the building's windows to let more air in to reach the blaze.

[??]

More than two hours after the blaze was first reported, it was declared a seven-alarm fire."

And the thing is still standing! How can that be?

And how in the world could WTC7 have dropped into its own footprint like that?

Especially when it WASN'T HIT BY DEBRIS, and the Deutsche Bank building WAS!

Oh, 9/11 STINKS more and more EVERY DAY!]
