Please be adult enough then to admit when you are proven wrong.
I have not been proven wrong, you have with the McCormick warehouse roof collapse.

Thanks for proving your sites are totally irrelevant.

Thanks for proving you are totally irrelevant by trying to compare a warehouse roof collapse to a skyscaper complete collapse.
Yes you have, and no I have not.
Yes but would you say a buidling that burned for 19 hours would have more damage to the steel then a buidling that burned for just a couple hours?
You're the one who said no steel building collapsed from fire and I proved you wrong with facts and evidence.
Anyone else notice that beleivers fail to discuss that facts that the building burned for 19 hours and did not collapse.
One Meridian Plaza, Philadelphia, USA — February 1991
One Meridian Plaza burned in Philadelphia on February 23-24, 1991. Eight floors of this 38-floor structure were consumed in the 19+ hour burn.
The crucial differences between this building and 7 World Trade:
- The building had a significant structural difference from the WTC buildings. Although it was steel-framed and a tube-in-tube structure, one side of the internal "tube" was adjacent to the exterior wall.
- One Meridian Plaza suffered no crippling structural damage at the onset of the fire. It had the full benefit of its structural design working to redistribute shifting loads.
- The fire was always in "one place". It may have been on several floors, but the fire moved as a whole through the building. 7 World Trade had fires on many different floors.
- The fire was only in the upper floors of the building. It started on floor 22 and worked its way to the 30th. The full weight of the building was never concentrated on the fire zones, as in WTC 7.
- The fire was fought throughout its burn by a dedicated team. This building was the only priority of the team, but a power failure forced internal fire supression to be conducted by handlight alone.
- Operational sprinklers finally stopped this fire. Inoperable sprinklers let this fire burn so long, but a separate system on the 30th floor was the final trump card.
Was that the same building that had just had a hijacked plane slam into it beforehand?
From the page I have linked to twice:
It is YOU who refuse to discuss this building.
So let me get this straight, you are trying to compare a warehouse roof collapse to a multi story skyscaper complete collapse?![]()
Also the fact that the warehouse is steel and concrete and the other buildings mentioned are all steel?
ULITMA1, do you still think that Daniel Nigro had WTC7 brought down and that he was somehow not part of the FDNY?
Damage is damage weither it is caused by plane or by fire.
Also if you did any research you would know that the majority of reports have stated the plane impacts on the towers had no connection to the collapse.
1. The building did not collapse only the roof.
2. The buidling is not steel it is steel and concrete.
damage is damage weither it is caused by plane or by fire.

For the second time no. I was proving you wrong.
Concrete handles better in fire than steel, that's why, in the Winsdor fire, the steel portion collapsed and the concrete portion stayed intact. Thanks for proving you know nothing about anything.
2. The world trade center was steel and concrete.
No you have not, why can't you grow upand be adult enough to admit you tried to compare a roof collapse to a building collapse?
Are the towers and building 7 steel only or steel and concrete. (please be adult enough to answer truthfully)

Pleae [sic]be adult enough to do research and to not lie in your post.
The WTC buildings were all steel.

With roughly 600,000 tons of concrete in each WTC tower, the available energy from gravitational potential energy was only about 0.7 kwh per ton of concrete. However, given the uncertainty in the size of powder, the available energy is "in the ballpark".
Please state, exactly, what part the concrete had in the structural support of the towers.
The WTC buildings were all steel.
Is it your position that there was no concrete the WTC buildings?
stundie.
Gee, are you really that uniformed?
Just some concrete for the floors. But the buidling [sic] themselves are made of steel.
Damn. Beaten again.
Ultima: The mass of each Tower is estimated at around 500,000 tons, or 1 million tons for both. 200,000 tons of this was structural steel. What was the remaining 800,000 tons made of?
Steel and Concrete, that's why twoofers say there wasn't enough energy in the collapse to "crush concrete." You are so uninformed it's boring.
Please state, exactly, what part the concrete had in the structural support of the towers.
Really? Care to support that claim?
Third time of asking why is fire proofing applied to steel framed stuctures?
How many times can you be wrong kid.
Do you know how to do research?
The towers were bult from steel, the only concrete was for the floors.
The WTC buildings were all steel
concrete was for the floors.
So you're saying the floors aren't a structural element?
How many times can you be wrong kid.
Do you know how to do research?
The towers were bult from steel, the only concrete was for the floors.
I wonder if ULTIMA1 has ever convinced anybody of anything in the many, many, many hours he has spent trolling the Internet.
or ever been close to classified information.
Can you read, i never stated the towers had concrete?
I am asking soneone if the towers were made of steel only or steel and concrete.
The example isn't intended to be a structural comparative to the twin towers, nor is that what he is claiming. Any claim that involves "no steel structure has ever collapsed due to fire" or that "steel cannot fail in fire" is demonstrably proven false by the failure of the steel frame roof. If you think that steel is utterly indestructible in fire then you're choosing some very disappointing sources for your information on steel construction. I can judge from you many posts that you have not read one piece of literature from any one publication from an engineering website or resource.No you have not, why can't you grow upand be adult enough to admit you tried to compare a roof collapse to a building collapse?
