I wasn't sure where exactly to post this since the post that initiated my interest in actually pushing the matter is in a thread where this would be off topic. And I hate thread necromancy if I can avoid it...
Any way... to the point:
Full Size: http://ift.tt/1FUatUn
The graphic is intended to put a sort of "human" scale to the claims that the fires in the towers were "small", as I've seen for years the sizes alluded to in relative percentages of building heights often characterized to falsely minimize how substantial the disasters were. I have not decided yet whether to take the GFX materials further since a good deal of what I can think to bring up in this way is already done.
The graphic is not intended to be an in-depth analysis (at least not at this point), only to point out visually and somewhat from a different angle how significant the event was.
So for starters.... commentary is welcome on the graphic to see if it can be fashioned into something useful for current discussions and/or improved. It's the bigger of my reasons for posting it. The other - smaller - reason is if anyone feels like bringing up any objections to the whole idea of characterizing the WTC fires as large scale factors in their collapses.
And as a tertiary reason... perhaps this may be useful to a few people with or with out tweaks.
So... there you all have it.
ETA:
Some notes about the modeling information used...
WTC 1 image: Obviously as noted on the label as the source.
WTC 5 image is from the FEMA materials
Floor Slabs in the 3D of WTC 1 massing were fashioned to scale based on elevation CAD files I downloaded a while back IIRC from one of the NIST FOIA's.
The WTC 5 massing model size was approximated based on information from one of the FEMA reports.
Massing height for the WTC 1 representation are taken from the CAD files I have on hand, and the WTC 5 graphic is 9 stories based on floor slab spacing of 12 top 13'
