Pretty incredible if you think about when these are the first known failures of steel-framed buildings in history.
Blatant falsehood by you.
The Windsor Tower Fire, Madrid
The Damage
The Windsor Tower was completely gutted by the fire on 12 February 2005. A large portion of the floor slabs above the 17th Floor progressively collapsed during the fire when the unprotected steel perimeter columns on the upper levels buckled and collapsed (see Figure 1). It was believed that the massive transfer structure at the 17th Floor level resisted further collapse of the building.
The whole building was beyond repair and had to be demolished. The estimated property loss was �72m before the renovation.
Based on the footages of available media filming, Table 2 summarises the estimated time frame for the structural collapses of the Windsor Tower
East face of the 21st floor collapsed
1:37 South middle section of several floors above the 21st floor gradually collapsed
1:50 Partsoffloorslabwithcurtainwallscollapsed
2:02 Partsoffloorslabwithcurtainwallscollapsed
2:11 Partsoffloorslabwithcurtainwallscollapsed
2:13 Floors above about 25th floor collapsed
Large collapse of middle section at about 20th floor
2:17 Partsoffloorslabwithcurtainwallscollapsed
2:47 Southwest corner of 1 ~ 2 floors below about 20th floor collapsed
2:51 Southeast corner of about 18th ~ 20th floors collapsed
3:35 Southmiddlesectionofabout17th~20thfloorscollapsed Fire broke through the Upper Technical Floor
3:48 Fire flame spurted out below the Upper Technical Floor 4:17 DebrisontheUpperTechnicalFloorfelldown
Analysis
The main factors leading to the rapid fire growth and the fire spread to almost all floors included:
the lack of effective fire fighting measures, such as automotive sprinklers
the “open plan” floors with a floor area of 1000m2
the failure of vertical compartmentation measures, in the façade system and the floor openings
It was believed that the multiple floor fire, along with the simultaneous buckling of the unprotected steel perimeter columns at several floors, triggered the collapse of the floor slabs above the 17th floor. The reduced damage below the 17th floor might provide a clue.

And you still want to dismiss the fire related failures and partial fire related collapse witnessed in WTC 5?

What do you see in this photograph? Give me your take not what you read somewhere?
Two areas in WTC 5 experienced local collapse under an intact portion of the roof. Although there was debris impact near this area, the symmetrical nature of the collapse strongly suggests that the failures were due to the uncontrolled fires. This is supported by the observation that the columns in this area remained straight and freestanding (see Figure 4-18). This local collapse appeared to have begun at the field connection where beams were connected to shop-fabricated beam stubs and column assemblies as illustrated in Figures 4-19, 4-20, and 4-21.

First embarrassing you can't work google to determine if the building remained. Just accusing someone of deception and not finding out first not a good show. I can get what you believe in stupid explanations for events and carry on like you do.

The building featured two heavily reinforced concrete transfer structures (technical floors) between
the 2nd and 3rd Floors, and between the 16th and 17th Floors respectively. The original cladding system was fixed to the steel perimeter columns and the floor slabs. The perimeter columns were
supported by the transfer structures at the 17th and 3rd Floor levels.

That you ignored the two areas where the fire related failures happened in WTC 5

FEMA for some reason suggesting fire alone led to the failure make zero sense
That description is absolutely conflicting.

Most of the remaining structure of the pictured tower is composed of vertical concrete columns. How many concrete columns did WTC 1 and 2 have?
The building featured two heavily reinforced concrete transfer structures (technical floors) between
the 2nd and 3rd Floors, and between the 16th and 17th Floors respectively. The original cladding system was fixed to the steel perimeter columns and the floor slabs. The perimeter columns were

Read what you just copied and pasted. I replied and wrote about it, why.
I can see exactly where the twisted-column picture was taken- the highlight it in the floor plans in the link you provided.
It roughly in the same area with the picture of two holes in the roof was taken.
