So truthers claim that fire doesn't effect structural steel, eh? Well, this is (was) a 115 year old former department store being renovated into retail space and apartments. It caught fire early Saturday morning. By daybreak it was an empty shell. The entire steel framed interior collapsed from 6 stories to 2.
How in the world can that be? Fire doesn't effect steel, right? And the building was empty other than construction supplies and equipment, not a working office full of paper, desks, carpet, etc. According to the truthers it should have shrugged this right off and remained standing proudly. Fact is the fire was so hot it damaged buildings across the street.
It's sad, really, because it was a beautiful building and a downtown landmark for over 100 years. However, it certainly proves the "steel impervious to fire" theme wrong.
