Structurally, it held, until the intense heat from the flames caused the trusses to sag and eventually fail. When they failed, one floor fell on the floor below, which caused it to fail and fall to the floor below. Within seconds, there was a substantial part of the building in freefall. <br /><br />Trusses are tremendously strong, as a composite structure. Unfortunately, since they are made with lightweight components, heat will cause them to fail long before the melting point of steel. All they have to do is become plastic, which happens at a temperature below the heat from a wind fed petroleum fire. Since they have only a few connection point due to their ability to bridge large distances, any failure is catastrophic.Jessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901702009333888557.post-88111399389095807632011-04-26T19:26:39.149+01:002011-04-26T19:26:39.149+01:00They never dreamt that would happen.They never dreamt that would happen.Joanne Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04812083357123365446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901702009333888557.post-66300043304701904552011-04-26T19:13:26.586+01:002011-04-26T19:13:26.586+01:00Hindsight, and the cost of real estate in the New ...Hindsight, and the cost of real estate in the New York city business district.Jessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901702009333888557.post-59309294583463586992011-04-26T18:00:21.766+01:002011-04-26T18:00:21.766+01:00They should have made it wider and lower.

The dimensions? 208 ft. by 208 ft.(63m x 63m)for each tower. Otherwise, each tower, for all their worth, occupied only one acre of land.Jessnoreply@blogger.com
