(1,464 posts)NIST says fires only persisted on 6 floors. The smoke that appears to be belching out of every window was sucked up from WTC6 because the wind from the NW caused a low-pressure zone on the S. side of the building. The exact same phenomenon was exhibited by WTC1 after WTC2 fell down. WTC1 appears to be belching dust from every window on the S side. It's not. It sucked up the dust from WTC2.
The fires were wimpy. Probably the reason FDNY didn't fight them was because they were so wimpy they didn't consider them worth fighting--and since they had good reason to fear bombs in the building (two witnesses reporting an explosion, and an elevator car blown out into the hall) it just didn't seem prudent to send men in there. Then after the building fell down they had to explain why they didn't fight the fires, and by then talk of explosions was verboten.
