"Just prior to the collapse of the building at 5:20:52 p.m. a jet of flames was pushed from windows in the same area. The event that caused this unusual behavior has not been identified."
Get ready for the: "It was air being pushed out from the interior collapsing" or something similar.

Seen this happen at fireground - an interior collapse of floor or partition
results in air blast pushing fire out of openings. Have to be careful of
flying sparks and embers igniting fires, can occur at considerable
distances.

You know, like how air gets compressed and pushes out one window 50 stories below the collapse wave on the towers.

What I find interesting here with this, is the report called it an *UNUSUAL EVENT*.
Would that not eliminate some of the mundane explanations with compressed air?

But, FEMA called the errosion/corrosion of the steel an "unusual event" that may have aided the collapses. And we still get people that say gypsum did it when gypsum is actually used as a fire retardant. And no one has backed up with empirical evidence that it can happen.

The piece from 2 WAS IN FACT addressed by NIST, and was found to have happened while it was in the pile.
So that "unusual event" has, in fact, been looked into. So I think we can lay off the gypsum thing now, right? Especially since, as you have previously stated, that that claim came from a message board and NOT from NIST, or FEMA, or any other guv agency.....

NIST concluded that it underwent the corrosive attack while it was in a prone position.
Therefore, it was in the pile when it corroded.
