First, no steel building has ever fallen do to fire, EVER.
Actually thats not true. The McCormick Convention Center, a steel framed convention center, and one of the largest of its time had collapsed due to a small electrical fire which lit up all the flammable objects within the center and brought the building down in 30 minutes.
So I forgot to add the word "protected".

The FEMA report further states that until the attack at the WTC, no protected steel-frame buildings had been known to collapse as a result of a fire. The key word is "protected." In Chicago, Illinois, the McCormick Place Exhibition Center collapsed as a result of a fire in 1967. In this structure, the steel-frame of the building was unprotected.
Even then, so what.... ONE building? A building that wasn't up to code because it was burned down in 1967. WTC 7 wasn't built until 1984-1987, and was kept up to code since then.
