        The Windsor Tower fire in Madrid saw the steel framed sections of the building collapse to the street 3 hours into the fire. The only components that remained standing were the concrete-column construction areas of the building. That's why the upper suite floors are gone after the fire, above the second Technical Floor.
Also, WTC7 was one of the rare instances of not only no water availability, (the main towers cut the water mains to lower Manhattan on collapse) but also no manpower invested in fighting the fire, after a couple hours. It burned unchecked. How many examples of that have you to share 'from the history of mankind'?

        There seems to be quite an obvious discrepancy between "no-planer" claims and reality

        I don't need an expert to tell me that a Boeing 757 can't convert into a 20 in alluminium piece.

        Didn't a turbofan powered plane go over 750 mph at less than 1000 feet back in the 1950's?

        Your inability to figure out what happened to the plane doesn't prove anything

        The same can be said about your inability to explain what happened to the plane.

        What's that have to do with your assertion that the black boxes were not found?
