Massive fires dont cause a steel framed building to collapse the way WTC7 collapsed.
In fact, they dont collapse at all. Thats why they make them steel-framed.

I have shown several steel building that has longer lasting fires and worse structural damage then any of the WTC buildings and did not collapse.

you do realize, throat yogurt, that putting lots of words down without really saying anything substantive may convince your friends at the club how smart you are but i guess i need you to actually say something. you completely miss the points you respond to or your responses are way off but you really have made no valid point of any kind yet? are you telling me that they lied about those building when they were built? they were guaranteed to stand up to far more than what took them down. my point is, if that is all the explanation you need, doesnt it make you worry about the other structures that you rely on every day that our gubment has told us are safe? how can we ever know again. apparently buildings can fall down much easier than the architects are willing to admit they should. that should worry you, not make you babble random stuff back at me.

Well, sir you are wrong in your statement. The buildings were not designed to withstand a plane INTENTIONALLY flown into it. For you to suggest otherwise is not an accurate statement.
I do not worry about other buildings that are not on fire. I work in a 39 story building everyday. I am very confident in its integrity. If it were on fire, I would evacuate. If it were hit by a plane. I would evacuate if at all possible.
We also have to look at the safety of our first responders. How safe will they be? NIST was looking into that as well I believe.
Do you think a building can be made "terrorist proof?" Before you answer this, think of it financially. IS it possible?

You need to research a little better sir. 1&2 were designed to withstand a plane to hit it lost in the fog. NOT from terrorists using planes as missiles flying them at top speeds.
WTC-7 was not designed to withstand the debris from a 110 story skyscraper raining burning debris on top of it...then left to burn for several hours.
The building I work in has been through 3 hurricanes, many blizzards, any i would guess at least 50 thunderstorms with hurricane force winds.
Your arguments are flawed and without proper research.
so you are saying the buildings were designed to withstand impact based on the intentions of the controller? lost or terrorist makes the difference? and there is no evidence of the destruction of caused by 110 story building raining debris on top of it and it was supposed to still be standing if left to burn for hours or days. as well as the many bulidings that withstood much greater damage when the twin towers collapsed, yet those buildings were destroyed to great degree, did NOT FALL DOWN COMPLETELY. smaller, weaker buildings than 7 took far greater hits and stood. i dont know what you are basing your facts on, sir. but you really havent said anything thats backed up by either the official reports or any recognized analysis since. you do sound as though you watch FOX news loyaly though. good for you. i prefer to be lied to be smarter folks than that at least.
