the building was made entirely out of a wooden frame. the fire codes were not completed when the fire started. thats why it burned so good. they are currently building a matching building and did not change the codes. genius
Was an 8 alarm fire actually. it didnt have individual fire walls inbetween apartments like it should of thats why it spread. most complexs have concrete fire walls inbetween then drywall etc...
parts of the floors did in fact collapse within the interior of the building but the building held itself exteriorly only because there wasn't that much weight in order for the whole building to collapse like building 7...
Now im confused, why this building didnt collapse like the WTC and building 7, it only had two floors on fire it totally collapsed. THis building is totally on fire and no collapse? WHy?
Those building are constructed differently. The WTC was 110 stories and entirely steel. This apartment is 5 stories and mostly lightweight construction in addition to the lack of fire walls. Also this apartment was not hit by a commercial airliner with tons of jet fuel.
yeah im a philly firemen, and this was not faught correctly at all, the fire cheifs up there are just idiotic. 2 out of the 3 building could have been saved. instead of blowing with the fire, you cut a hole and fight it back, i guess fire cheifs dont have to have knowledge since there voted in by the town...
you know, you're definitely not representing yourself well. learn how to spell, bud. i can't say anything about the fire or the operations since i was not there.
oh, on that subject, it's really easy to be a monday morning quarterback and critique this incident from afar. when was the last time philly had a fire of this magnitude? how would your officers handle it? or even you?
Stop with the scam crap. This was an accident, but the welders should have been more careful. I thought they said they check those sites everyday before leaving? BULLSHIT! I am keeping these people in my prayers.

This building must of had some serious steel beams then. Cause 7 had steel with asbestos insulation protection. Thats weird.
