The office fire demonstration was the largest British Steel compartment fire test incorporating a floor space 18m wide and up to 10m deep (135m2). It was conducted on the first floor in the North East corner and simulated a typical open plan office with real office equipment (and some wood cribs) providing a total fire load density of 46kg/m2. The area of ventilation was equal to 20% of the floor area. [197] The height of the compartment was 4.0m. In this test only the columns were protected. The unprotected beams achieved temperatures of up to 1150°C

9/11 was an act of religion not greed.
A number of the 9/11 hijackers apparently drink alcohol heavily in bars, sleep with prostitutes, and watch strip shows in the US in the months and especially the days leading up to 9/11.
In late February 2001, hijacker Ziad Jarrah frequents a strip club in Jacksonville, Florida (see February 25-March 4, 2001).
In July 2001, hijackers Hamza Alghamdi and Marwan Alshehhi make two purchases of “pornographic video and sex toys” from a Florida store (see July 4-27, 2001).
Some hijackers, including possibly Satam Al Suqami and Waleed and Wail Alshehri, sleep with prostitutes in the days before 9/11 (see September 7-11, 2001).
On September 10, three hijacker associates spend $200 to $300 apiece on lap dances and drinks in the Pink Pony, a Daytona Beach, Florida, strip club. While the hijackers have left Florida by this time, Mohamed Atta is reported to have visited the same strip club, and these men appear to have foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks (see September 10, 2001). [BOSTON HERALD, 10/10/2001]
Alshehhi and Atta are seen entering the Hollywood, Florida, sports bar Shuckums already drunk. They proceed to drink even more hard alcohol there (see September 7, 2001).
Atta and Alshehhi are seen at Sunrise 251, a bar in Palm Beach, Florida. They spend $1,000 in 45 minutes on Krug and Perrier-Jouet champagne. Atta is with a tall busty brunette in her late twenties; Alshehhi is with a shortish blonde. Both women are known locally as regular companions of high-rollers. [DAILY MAIL, 9/16/2001]
A stripper at the Olympic Garden Topless Cabaret in Las Vegas, Nevada, will later recall Alshehhi being “cheap,” paying only $20 for a lap dance. [COX NEWS SERVICE, 10/16/2001]
Several hijackers reportedly patronize the Nardone’s Go-Go Bar in Elizabeth, New Jersey. They are even seen there on the weekend before 9/11. [BOSTON HERALD, 10/10/2001; WALL STREET JOURNAL, 10/16/2001]
Majed Moqed visits a porn shop on three occasions and rents a porn video. The mayor of Paterson, New Jersey, will later say of the six hijackers who stay there, “Nobody ever saw them at mosques, but they liked the go-go clubs.” [NEWSDAY, 9/23/2001; NEWSWEEK, 10/15/2001]
Nawaf Alhazmi and Khalid Almihdhar often frequent Cheetah’s, a nude bar in San Diego. [LOS ANGELES TIMES, 9/1/2002]
Alshehhi is possibly seen in the Cheetah nightclub in Pompado Beach, Florida, on July 1, 2001. Six dancers who work there will later claim to have seen him. [FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, 10/2001, PP. 173 ]
Hamza Alghamdi watches a porn video on either the afternoon of September 9 or on September 10. [FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, 10/2001, PP. 272 ; WALL STREET JOURNAL, 10/16/2001]
Temple University, Philadelphia, professor Mahmoud Mustafa Ayoub will later comment: “It is incomprehensible that a person could drink and go to a strip bar one night, then kill themselves the next day in the name of Islam.… People who would kill themselves for their faith would come from very strict Islamic ideology. Something here does not add up.” [SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL, 9/16/2001]

For starters, I see a ton of bricks and concrete. I see no 47 stories. No ConEd substation at the base. No large transfer trusses that stretched over the ConEd substation. Do I need to go on?

"These people".
No, they weren't. Please don't just make stuff up because you heard a story that sounded like it once. There were reports that one or two of the hijackers had carried out these activities, but they're less reliable than most of the reports that day and there is nothing in the Koran that prohibits this in Jihad.
Stop being so ignorant and willing to jump to conclusions. Think about it from your perspective. If these were 'sinister secret agent' types, why would they do things not in keeping with hijackers?
Oh wait that's right, you have no explanation whatsoever and only brought this up to try and muddy the waters. Good job.

The issue is your Witch Hunt has no evidence to back it up.
End of story.

The carpets are different too.

Rightttt, someone has a huge ego. And let me guess, you're the same guy who says "truthers" are so illogical? Sorry my dude, just because you think these stories linked to media outlets are "unreliable" doesn't mean d*ck to me.
And for the record bro, I've worked with several Islam-devoted people and they could not stress it enough that these kinds of activities are what keeps them from getting to their heaven. I'm not trying to muddy the water,
I think the dude who brought religion up into this thread is the one trying to muddy the water. My point was to show that these guys weren't as devoted to their religion as depicted. And because you get to pick and chose what news stories are reliable & not reliable really just makes me laugh. Another OSer starting an argument because they "think" something is unreliable. Shut up bro seriously,
I love how this on going battle of OSers saying truthers just decide what evidence is good for their own argument but honestly it's working both ways right now.edit on 5-7-2012 by homervb because: (no reason given)
That's exactly what you are trying to do. "How can they be muslims if they do this?"
The fact is that even if they did carry out some of these acts, look up "the law of necessity". Several scholars (I'm not sure actually if it's directly in the Koran) claim that these acts are permissable in Jihad.

So you are a conspiracy theorist too? Did you pull that factoid out from where the sun never shines.
Acts of indiscriminate violence is forbidden in Islam. Jihad means to "struggle" and resisting an oppressor is different to going to a foreign land to commit an atrocity; it is strictly forbidden.
Those alleged 9/11 terrorists could have been dupes and they could have been killed before 911 and their passports planted.
The problem is that the US lies, it deploys shills and disinformationalists, it conducts false flag atrocities so can not be sure what the secret state of the US does.
