> What buildings "similar" to the WTC towers - in size, structure, and the circumstances (being hit by commercial airliners) are you referring to in comparison?
As you well know, there are none. How could there be? WTC was unique. But there certainly are "generic" steel-framed high-rise buildings which have been on fire.
>Indeed, there are reasons to believe that the fires at the WTC were not as severe as in other conflagrations
Here's a picture of a woman standing in the hole made by the plane impact. (Lower right hand corner. The pic, in fact, comes from a video which I have seen)

> and therefore there was even a good possibility that they could have been put out. Yes, if the buildings hadn't collapsed.
If you say so. Who am I to argue with you? Others, however, have other opinions. For example, the firemen

>>And, the firemen of New York, they were able to come to the floor where the fires were burning, and they said, the fire commander said he needed two teams, small, to fight these fires and then it's finished. So the heat, it is impossible that the heat was as high as it has been written in the papers and in all the media.<<

>>nearly a year after the monumental and treacherous catastrophe which struck lower Manhattan on Sept. 11, 2001, an audio tape of firefighter communications was finally released -- which proves that the actual conditions at and near the point of impact in the north WTC tower only moments before the building's collapse were totally inconsistent with the conditions which had to have existed for the official version to be even minimally correct.
Firefighters who had reached the eightieth floor of the north tower reported they were eyewitnesses to fact much of the fire caused by burning jet fuel had by then largely burned out, although some burning and smoldering areas still remained. Not once did firefighters on site at " ground zero" of ground zero indicate the slightest concern that fires were still burning at an intensity which threatened their own or others' safety -- certainly not that conditions were so severe that the very integrity of the entire structure itself was threatened! On the contrary: they indicated that conditions were controllable: that they planned to conduct survivors safely out of the building, and to then bring in equipment and personnel to extinguish any remaining burning/smoldering areas. <<
