....I was thinking of the towers, not WTC 7. But it doesn't matter. Fire has never caused a total progressive collapse of a steel-framed building, neither before 9/11 nor afterwards.

So a NIST investigation, that makes the beginning assumption that only fire was available to bring down WTC 7, ("Here, lemme see, if I raise the temperature figures by 15% in my mathematical model then......&quot , resulting in a total progressive collapse no one has ever witnessed before or since.....it must be Martians!
