So a building that is on fire for 7 hours will collapsed due to structural damage. Metal parts warp and shift at different rates to concrete parts causing connections to shear.

Hot flaming debris falling from overhead really does a lot of damage. This doesn't mean that Rumsfeld didn't steal 2 trillion dollars. It just means that a building collapsed due to a fire that was never extinguished.

Complete and utter bullshit. High rise buildings with reinforced steel cores don't just suddenly collapse at free fall speed because of fire.

Can you point out one that has been on fire for 7 hours and didn't collapse?
