>How about inadequate fireproofing of WTC?

Having been involved just a smidgen in the sub sub sub basement w/ checking out fire rating of materials it is a curiosity to me as to the WTC fireproofing & the Port Authority engineers & facility folks. Port Authority is like a soverign nation unto itself. I'd like to hear more. The engineer that I know who claimed to have done a study of the fire proofing on the steel in the basement levels at WTC under contract to the Prot Authority was a guy I best knew for always wanting to eat lunch, a lot of lunch, a very hungry guy... and had a penchant in his hustling to get himself mixed up in residential basement shoring projects in the remote boonies of Queens. Not all structural engineers are intelligent, have goog taste or style, or are very smart in business. ][<en
