I keep seeing people throw around the whole "in the history of steel builindings, never has one collapsed due to fire". Problem is that that isn't true - it ignores history, and the fact that the WTC buildings weren't solely steel (other materials were used). But if you want evidence of steel-frame buildings collapsing due to fire/extreme fire one only has to look at the fate of cities in Germany that were firebombed in WWII (such as Dresden) - the firestorms destroyed many steelframed and reinforced factories or government buildings.
