Which is why, imho, the imbeciles who ordered employees to stay at their desks and work while the buildings they were in were fuming at the top should be publicly flogged.
Flogging's not good enough. HUNG. Assuming, of course, any of them survived. It's a pretty good bet other people died because of them.

As anyone who has studied construction can tell you, steel structures cannot stand fire, unless their structural steel is encased in cement.
The 2 classic methods used to be cement or asbestos. Cement is still used and is better, but obviously a lot heavier (meaning ultimately the building can't be as tall) and a lot more expensive.

Thank you. I've been fighting this idiocy for 2 years and these conspiracy nutcases keep spreading their "THAT FLAME COULDN'T HAVE MADE THE BUILDING COLAPSE!" bunk.
