Whatever, though, for you to simply assume that WTC 7, a steel framed
building, totally collapsed near free fall speed from fire, you are
definitely not qualified. A qualified engineer would know that steel
framed buildings do not completely collapse from fire. Never.


Name one who agrees with your little claim, there.

You see, the problem with that is that steel frame buildings generally
aren't *allowed* to catch on fire and keep burning without some fire
suppression going on. The WTC (1, 2 and 7) are nearly unique cases, in
which two of them had their fireproofing stripped off through plane
impacts and the other had a big tank of diesel fuel sitting in the
middle of it, and had some damage from the tremors of the first two
collapsing.

That "near free fall speed" is what pretty much any tall building falls
at once it starts to go.
