The very famous one -- with the curtain wall and a bit of the core sticking up and the mounds of dust from pulverized concrete.

"The very famous one"?
How about a link to the photo you're referring to. If you're referring to the one posted earlier in this thread, it does not have a timestamp. Please provide the evidence that proves that the photo was taken "IMMEDIATELY after the collapse" or admit that you're simply making that up.

First, we were told it was a terrorist attack and not a simple accidental fire. Let's not forget that when we go making sarcastic posts about investigations.
Now, if the authorities said that this building in Bejing was an arson fire, then yes, I would feel an investigation is in order. You don't?
BTW, the bolded part makes me laugh. I can pretty much guarantee that the steel will be kept for at least a small amount of time for an investigation. Unlike the WTC 7 that couldn't leave our country fast enough before any professionals got to examine it. BTW, those aren't my words.
But, we're the crazy ones right?
Also, I wonder if they're going to do a proper investigation such as making sure a plane didn't hit the building and start the fire, or check the molecular cohesion of the steel to make sure high energy beam weapons didn't disassociate the steel supports molecules? Or check to see if arab workers went into the building earlier and planted thermite charges? Because we all know if they don't check all those things, then they didn't do a proper investigation and/or they are covering up what really happened.
Again, I'll state that this was not reported as arson. Therefore a more thourough investigation (like finding the causes of things) isn't neccessary.
Also, the building didn't collapse. So, your sarcastic remarks about planes, molecular beams, arabs and thermite are so out there in left feld it isn't even worth commenting on really.
Just some thoughts about how similar these situations should be based on previous complaints from some "truthers" .
If this building was considered an arson attack or a terrorist attack, then yes, I would demand an investigation before most of the steel is carted away and recycled.
Your argument makes no sense what-so-ever.

Darn, I spent 5 minutes trying to find the VERY DANG famous shot, with the core and the jagged curtain wall, and a think a few first responders looking like Iwo Jima-- no dice. But any image you want -- I'll put a "time stamp" of whatever date--really, time stamps are not EVIDENCE, the are XML data attached to JPEGs and RAW image files. But, I realized something after about 10 minutes -- you aren't paying me, and I already mentioned I'm done with this.
Here is one image -- but really AdamZapple -- I just don't think it's good enough for you, and I feel bad about even distracting you with it, from all the other evidence you apparently ignore;

No excuses here -- just don't need to spend hours a day tracking down things I've seen and filed away. I came across a lot of photos of angled cuts -- but of course, we don't know if that was part of the cleanup or not

How hard is this people? This can be tested on any scale, watch any video of a house on fire, the whole thing eventually becomes engulfed but the ENTIRE HOUSE DOES NOT COLLAPSE AT THE SAME TIME, INSTANTLY!
IT IS THE SAME WAY WITH ANY FIRE! COLLAPSE IS NEVER ENTIRE, AND NEVER EVEN!!!!!
HOW THE HELL DOES 50 STOREYS EVENLY COLLAPSE, AT A GIVEN MOMENT? IT DOES NOT HAPPEN!
END OF DEBATE!

I understand what you're saying, but I was just wondering if it was possible the concrete didn't heat up as fast as the steel would have, specifically in the regions of the most intense where the steel would have been more exposed to heat than the concrete.

What would happen to a fire fighter's pressurized oxygen canister when it gets crushed and exposed to high temps?

Well lets see, after both towers collapsed, how many cars, trucks, ambulances, fire engines, police cars, etc got buried or set on fire in the debris zone? What happens to them when they catch fire? What would happen to a fire fighter's pressurized oxygen canister when it gets crushed and exposed to high temps? What happens to the ammunition in police cars/trucks/police officers? What about flammable objects in the building? Gas? Power conduits? I can go on and on of what can go "boom" in a fire. Its not just explosives folks.

Because a house behaves a certain way...a 47 story skyscraper should behave the same way?
Personal incredulity FTW!
