Dude. it’s a steel frame building. A couple of small fires does not cause them to implode like that in seconds.

It’s literally insane to posture that. You must take a central column from top to bottom at once in order for a building to fall on its own footprint.

“After 7 hours of uncontrolled fires, a steel girder on Floor 13 lost its connection to one of the 81 columns supporting the building. Floor 13 collapsed, beginning a cascade of floor failures to Floor 5.”

Hence, the dominos link of my previous reply.
