  • Windsor VS WTC1/2

    Core: Concrete/Steel

    Fire spread: Near 100%/Less than 1%

    Fire duration: 18 hours/1-2 hours

    Fire-proofing: None/Light

    Collapse nature: Gradual and partial throughout hours/Sudden and complete in under 15 seconds

    Collapse result: 30% damage to outer steel frame, no damage to core/Core and frame completely leveled

    Unfortunately, the crucial differences in buildings' construction do not allow for adequate comparison of the collapses.

  • 3 QUESTIONS 911 TRUTHERS DON'T WANT YOU TO ASK THEM:

    Why won’t Dr. Steven Jones release the “rigorous non-critical” peer review comments offered by David L. Griscom regarding his nanothermite paper?

    What did the USA give the government of Pakistan concerning Bin Laden and 911 in early October of 2001?

    How can Operation Northwoods be an example of "false flag terrorism" if it never happened?

  • yep. still standing.just like you would expect any steel framed building to.

  • Too bad it was a concrete building

  • And steel naturally.

  • It was a concrete building with a concrete core that reinforced "with" steel, the steel called rebar is embedded in the concrete so it was not exposed to the heat. STFU u idiot.

  • grow up you immature tit.Semantics semantics semantics -yawn.

  • except maybe you didn't notice that the top half of the steel supported building collapsed down onto itself. The only part still standing was the concrete core. Concrete is much more resistant to fire than steel, doesn't lose its strength.

  • The core of the WT tower was exactly that -steel beams embedded in concrete -where did you think all the concrete dust came from?You can see the shuttering and reinforcement in the construction pics.I don't get what you people are trying to achieve by misrepresenting 'in your face' facts all the time.

    Reinforced concrete doesn't lose its strength because it is embedded with STEEL bars.Doh.

  • No, it wasn't. Construction began on the WTC before rebar really caught on, and it was entirely steel with a light spray-on brittle mercury oxide fireproofing, which was dislodged in the crash.

  • You can argue about it till the cows come home. 'rebar' as you call it has been in use since the 1950's it's the only thing that holds most of our crappily built concrete buildings together. It's frequently the main reason explosive demolition has to be used. Sometimes earthquakes will collapse a badly designed building but it will still come down in big reinforced chunks.

  • Doesn't change the fact that it wasn't used in the WTC.
