The building being damaged changes its ability to resist fire. That should be elementary.

Yes its called COMMON SENSE
The FDNY Chiefs realized that
WTC 7 had suffered severe structural damage
Fire were breaking out on multiple floors
And most important - there was no water available. No water means sprinkler system is non operable and the
standpipes which pipe water to each floor will not have any water
i dont know about you, but a FDNY Fire Chief knows not to risk their men in such a situation

The windows of highrise building during extensive fires blow in and not out. This is because of the stack effect of lift shafts and stairs. There are at least a dozen of these conduits in WTC 7.

The large hole ripped in the South side of the building would negate the stack effect. The building would not be able to develop an internal low pressure strong enough to suck the windows in.
Completed in 1970, the Faculty of Architecture (FOA) building was a reinforced concrete and
steel structure consisting of a combination of six, 3-story structures, which effectively served as a
podium, with a 13-story tower located above (see Fig. 1). The 3-story structures included
basement, ground floor and 1st floor. These structures were characterized by public use space,
including an architectural library, an auditorium, exhibition halls, and a cafeteria. The tower
served primarily as academic space, featuring lecture halls, offices, and design studios. Floors 2-
12 were characterized by a combination of 1- and 2-story interior spaces (
But the building was severely damaged when flaming steel debris rained on its north facade and gouged the exterior.
the south tower of the World Trade Center collapsed directly across the street. Scaffolding which had been erected on the facade for renovation work did nothing to stop the fiery debris from raining into the building and tearing a gash deep down its northern face
Extinguishing this blaze at the 62-story First Interstate Bank Building, 707 West Wilshire Boulevard, required the combined efforts of 64 fire companies, 10 City rescue ambulances, 17 private ambulances, 4 helicopters, 53 Command Officers and support personnel, a complement of 383 Firefighters and Paramedics, and considerable assistance from other City departments.

So superficial external damage from flying debris changes a buildings ability to resist fire?
Strange logic you applied there.

Show me the picture of that 20ft gouge . And Sur-trans is massively a strange move. A vertical transit would have been the logical one. Did they do a Sur-trans for 90 West? I really enjoy posting with you

I guess to you, a 20 story gouge noted by quite a few firemen at WTC7 is just superficial. That and fireproofing being damaged. Yeah nothing can go wrong there.
I guess I'll ask you too. Why did firefighters put a surveyor transit on WTC7 with there was nothing wrong with it? Do you even know what a surveyor transit is?

Spinning the same old yarns as usual radek! We base our research on facts here, not on your magical stories.

Ok, what magical story? I asked you and others, why did firefighters put a transit on WTC7? It happened. Fire chief said they did. I'm asking you why they did. Stop trolling and start acting like an adult.
