(33,982 posts)It didn't get hit with a mass of burning crap from the next door building collapsing. It started from a single ignition source. So that's actually a point in favor for the strength and fire resistance of WTC7. It lasted longer, against a much larger disaster.
For the construction that was going on, Windsor Tower had it's sprinklers turned off. That parallels WTC7, because when the main towers came down, they punched through the lower Manhattan water mains, severely limiting how much the building itself could fight the fire un-manned by firefighters.
And last but not least, in one fire, Windsor Tower shows how steel, and concrete perform in a fire, side by side. It's a brilliant comparison, and really it shows how well WTC7 withstood all that it did, before coming down.
Thanks for jumping in, maybe hearing it from two different people explaining it will help the poster upthread understand better.
