1. Is this why

they make the smokers go outside? They don't want them accidentally lighting up the office furnishings because the whole building would come down? LOL

[frankfacts]

2. Were office furnishings not flame retardant back in the antiquity of 2001?

4. I think they were. n/t

6. Research highrise fire loading

Fire science is an established science. They understand very well what is in a typical office building and how it will burn. How do think they establish fire codes and sprinkler requirements.

7. and you'll learn there....

that those office fires migrate after less than a half hour of burning because the fuel(papers, wood, etc) is consumed by that time. Not to mention the heat conductive properties of steel which wicks away the heat and the members begin to cool immediately after the fires are no longer present.

8. So there have been no large highrise fires in history? None at all?

because the fires just gradually burned out? Got it.

So how long would it take for the WTC fires to "migrate" as they moved upwards? How large a fire would each 100,000 square foot floor generate through this "migration"?

9. never said or implied any of that BS!

" So there have been no large highrise fires in history? None at all?"
why you asking me stupid questions?

[hack89]

10. So then large fires in the WTC make perfect sense?

good. I thought you were trying to say that it was not possible for there to be large fires in the WTC. Sorry for the confusion.

11. there were some fires.

guess it depends on your definition of "large".
The fires were not so large that the firefighters were giving up on them.

12. Only a Truther could look at a massive column of smoke visible in outer space

and think "what small fires". Amazing.

The firemen knew they had a massive fire. They also knew there were thousands of trapped people needing rescue. They never considered that the towers would collapse.

3. Furniture can burn?

Who knew?
Next you will tell me cars or trees can burn!

5. With 2001 tech, it (furniture) would probably just smoulder n/t
