Yet there have been NO SKYSCAPPERS IN HISTORY to fall from fire damage, some of which have burned with the same intensity as #7 did for many more hours.
Take a coat hanger and hold it under a candle for about 10 minutes.As metal heats it loses tensile strength.The steel used in framing a modern skyscraper is one grade above 1008crs(coat hanger materiel).Most buildings that are steel framed will fail in an intense fire.Obviously the load increases as you add multiple stories to a structure.It was entirely predictable from an engineering standpoint that the towers would collapse from a fire.
