NIST tells us that fires persisted on only 6 floors, and photos of those are only available starting at 2:00 (floors 7, 11,12)
at 2:30 (13), 3:40 (8) and 4:00 (9).
So rather than 7-hour fires there's evidence for 3-1/2 hour fires.
Since 9/11 of course we've had spectacular high-rise fires in Shanghai, Beijing, Dubai, Moscow, and Grozny. None of those buildings fell down. I guess we just build shoddy buildings in NYC, right?
The Madrid tower was under construction, so the steel had no fireproofing at all. WTC7 had fire ratings of 2 hours and 3 hours--and NIST tells us that office fires burn only 30 minutes in one place until all the fuel is consumed.
