Reply #54: Office fires reach over 1000 F.

[petgoat]

Ceiling temperatures of 1000 degrees F does not equal core steel temperatures
of 1000 degrees F because the massive 14" X 36" steel columns are enormous heat
sinks. You can't soften a crescent wrench with a candle flame.

Part of the Madrid building collapsed. That's what we would expect in the WTC, too.
Asymmetric fires lead to assymetric partial collapse. (The Madrid building was reinforced
concrete, not steel frame.)
