Yes try to completely bypass the fact that the Empire State Building is of a vastly different design than the Twin Towers with that.

Because the design was vastly different.
One design will fail where another will not.

And doesn't blowing out the supports mean your essentially damaging the structure???]
Excepting the three 9-11 collapses, no fire, however severe, has ever caused a steel framed high-rise building to collapse. Following are examples of high-rise fires that were far more severe than those in WTC 1 and 2, and Building 7. In these precedents, the fires consumed multiple floors, produced extensive window breakage, exhibited large areas of emergent flames, and went on for several hours. The fires in the WTC towers did none of these things.

No steel building has ever collapsed due to fire and structural damage before or after the WTC buildings.

But now we have 2 steel frame buildings that collapsed after being hit by large aircraft at high speed AND subsequent fires so the precedent has been established. There was no precedent prior to 9/11 for comparison.

Nice attempt at misinterpretation. Too bad it was a shoddy premise.
