Yes: I saw that report. It states basically that the lower floors were sprayed with asbestos ,but during the construction asbestos was condemned and the upper floors werent sprayed.
I am not an expert,thats for sure but at the temperatures being put out by the heat of thousands of gallons of burning jet fuel, I dont believe the asbestos would have done the job. Heat distortion would have eventually brought down the building anyway. The building may have taken longer to come down, but it would have come down.
The asbestos would have protected the building from most fires anyone could foresee. Fires involving the Flammables contained normally in most buildings.,even a deliberately set fire using say 20 gallons of fuel. This building took a strike from an airplane that weighed many tons in itself, then that airplane was loaded with thousands of gallons of jet fuel, which formed a mist of sprayed flammable liquid, starting fires on several floors at once. We cannot know how much of the asbestos would have been knocked off the structure when the plane hit,how much of the surface area of those beams would have been exposed,by the collision.
Fire codes for all high-rise buildings require fireproofing of structural steel. A variety of methods and materials are used, but none are capable of withstanding the impact of a 250,000 pound plane traveling 600 mph. Very little is.
Fireproofing is designed to protect steel members against ordinary fires, not the equivalent of a major missile strike.
