Then there is this... (h/t
The thinking Housewife).
From the Anti-New York Times:
"Throughout a very windy New Year's Eve, a gigantic fire raged throughout the middle and upper floors of this 63-story luxury hotel in Dubai. The images of the skyscraper torch are truly stunning. But unlike the 110 stories-tall World Trade Center # 1 (said by the government's "experts" to have been pancaked and pulverized due to "fire melting/buckling steel") -- and unlike the 110 stories-tall World Trade Center # 2 (said by the government's "experts" to have been pancaked and pulverized due to "fire melting/buckling steel") -- and unlike the 47 stories-tall World Trade Center # 7 (said by the government's "experts" to have been pancaked and pulverized due to "fire melting/buckling steel") -- the basic structure of the 'Address Downtown Dubai' Hotel remained intact.
It's a miracle!
But the Dubai Hotel, although suffering a much bigger (and we do mean MUCH bigger) fire than any of the three World Trade Center Buildings, remained standing as strong as ever and ready for restoration. If the 9/11 Omission Report is to be believed, this was not supposed to happen. As Dr. Albert D. Pastore sarcastically observed in his 2003 epic, 'Stranger Than Fiction: An Independent Investigation of 9/11 and the War on Terrorism' (here) :
"Now that we know that all one has to do to bring a skyscraper straight down is set a fuel fire in it, the well trained experts who work for demolition companies should all be out of a job by now."
The Dubai disaster is not the first case of a post 9/11/2001 skyscraper surviving a massive fire without collapsing. In 2005, the Windsor Building in Madrid, Spain burned to a red-hot crisp from top-bottom, yet remained mostly intact - with its inner core still strong enough to support a heavy crane on the roof.
In China, 2009, the Beijing Television Cultural Center fire lit up the night sky for hours. Again, no collapse.
Shangai China, 2010, high-rise apartment building -- toasted to a crisp, but no collapse.
