Did it fall down? How long did it take? This will get the nine-one-one conspiracy theorists going.

didn't fall down. o need for tear-down they said the structure is still sound.
i guess they can just rebuild around the metal frame?
interesting

I'm really perplexed at a few things:
What was so flammable in an unoccupied building that caused it to just go so out of control from top to bottom?
What part did fireworks set on fire, and how did it spread that massively?
I really look forward to hearing more about the investigation. That's pretty much one of the more surreal things I've ever seen.

Also, I've been reading a thread on archinect.com about the fire, and someone confirmed that the entire building was covered in rubber sheets for some kind of construction. See photo below:

Here's something from the thread:
"There are huge rubber sheets running down the entire walls of the building in the latticework which supports the outer metal shell. No firestoppers anywhere from the top of the walls at the roof, all the way to the ground.
Seems a firework got in from the top or somewhere, set the rubber on fire which then burned up and down inside the walls from the roof to the ground. A 30 floor chimney effect, with all that rubber on fire at once, un-firestopped from top to bottom, would be a spectacular fire, and impossible to put out as well as its within the outer walls. It would also have spread extremely fast from top to bottom of the structure.
Not sure if it is a design mistake or a construction mistake, but this disaster was just waiting to happen.."

So wait, massive fire engulfing a whole building didn't bring it down but a few stories burning on 9/11 did?
