C'mon man, if you've done construction, you know someone screwed up something and wrote an RFI to get the engineer to sign off on what can't be changed and that margin is gone before the building ever sees a fire. Isn't that how the Hard rock cafe in New Orleans came down?
There's way, WAAY too much steel for such a weakening to even start being a remote possibility.
There's not NEARLY enough heat in those fires, and way too much ongoing dissipation.
Steel framed buildings stood after burning much hotter and much longer, plenty of times.
You obviously have to be quite clueless to believe any kind of office fire and some jet fuel (which was mostly gone right after the initial fireball) can cause heat that is even remotrly sufficient to weaken 1-2 inch thick steel.
You have a LOT of homework to do, especially in physics.

BTW, thank you for being a voice of reason

Unless youve done the math and can show us, your guess is as good as anyone elses.

clueless even on the basics, not worth my time
