Didn't only the sprinklers on the ground floor work? I think I read that somewhere, but don't remember where. If that's true, I wonder if Hammad sabotaged them?

Very solid question

That would depend on how they are supposed to work. I really don't know how sprinklers in skyscrapers work. I think it would be impossible for a pumper truck to pump water into the system, so there must be some built-in pumps. I also recall the accounts of sprinklers being on only on the ground floor.

My thoughts, exactly. He worked on the sprinklers alright!

As the first tower fell one of the reporters on scene claimed she heard 2 small explosions. She only said it once and it was never replayed. Maybe these guys did a better job than we give them credit for.

Yup, looks like he was making sure that the sprinklers would not work in time.

Good question! Would fire suppression have cooled the steel girders enough to prevent a total collapse?

Since the scrap is being shipped to CHINA, I guess we'll never know, will we...
