25. A lot of fireproofing material

I believe there were estimates of how much it would have cost to rid the buildings of this asbestos but I don't have time to search right now. IIRC - more than the buildings were worth.

Here is a temperature breakdown from the NIST WTC 7 NCSTAR Final Report. Max temp in 7 per NIST was 900 Centigrade, 1650 F. But that was only a small area. Most temps were around 400-600 C. Temp of Self Cleaning Oven- 500 C.
