All of a sudden they and building 7 are severely flawed? So basically fiery debris caused a high rise building to collapse.

Still don't buy it.

I didn't see that earlier posting. Our guys are more on the Con-Ed, underground structure and the way the beams were sistered and framed out that any weakening beneath those beams including 79 (which was a solo) would have easily been enough to drop the whole thing in that manner.
two buildings like those falling nearby is effectively an earthquake of pretty serious proportions.
I do remember all the safe statements, all too well actually. That was part of my request for the thoughts of those I use myself when we build.
