but the reality is nobody expected the buildings to collapse.
Funny, that's *not* what the experts are saying ...
The NYFD has the best structural engineers at their disposal,
That's NOT to say they were at their disposal that particular morning - is it?

I don't imagine that guys like you understand the concept and spec'ing of the fire endurance of a structure - do you?

Even common sense would dictate that something would happen - SOONER OR LATER ...

What would one expect them say after the fact?

Fire departments do more than spray water on buildings. Structural knowledge and inspections is an on-going full time process. I don't imagine that guys like you understand the concept and spec'ing of the fire endurance of a structure - do you?

You can imagine anything you want to imagine.

Even common sense would dictate that something would happen - SOONER OR LATER ...

That's true.
