Hmm. Fires of 1975 right? Wtc North Tower? Oh what was a key factor in that? Thats right, there was a lot more fire-proofing on those floors. Asbestos fireproofing!
Tell me, was there a 767 that impacted that floor, knocking off the fireproofing?

But the 1975 fire was in the North tower not building 7, you need to keep on track with your responese.

Well for one i was talking abuot damage from fire on the steel. Why do you have go off topic and talk about a plane?

The plane impact, which removed the fireproofing on the steel, had a direct effect on the damage to the steel. Without proper fireproofing in place, the steel was more vulnerable to fire/heat.

You might want to do more research. The fire-proofing and sprinkler system was not added untill AFTER the 1975 fire.

Also as stated the fire proofing and sprinkler sytem was not added untill after the 1975 fire.
Berlau recounts how the effectiveness of asbestos fireproofing was proven during an intense Feb. 13, 1975 fire that burned for more than three hours in the elevator and utility shafts from the ninth to nineteenth floors of the first WTC tower – an area where asbestos fireproofing was still intact at the time. Despite the fire’s intensity – it burned nearly everything, including telephone panels and wiring, and got hot enough to blow out windows – the asbestos fireproofing contained the fire so that it did minimal damage to the rest of the building.
A subsequent fire analysis report from an engineering firm noted that the fire, “while reported in the press to have been very hot, did not damage a single primary, fireproofed element.”

Well if you did enough research you would know the following.
4. The fire in 1975 did not involve an airliner of that size crashing into it.

Oh so a 767 impacting makes no difference??

I thought we were talking about "PROOF that building 7 was demolished with explosives!!!"
We did digress onto thermite [no PROOF] for a while but that seemed reasonable, given that there didn't seem to be much argument for explosives. There doesn't seem to be any PROOF of explosives yet, but that is often the way with posts that start with "PROOF."
