Engineers Suspect Diesel Fuel in Collapse of 7 World Trade Center: “Amost lost in the chaos of the collapse of the

World Trade Center is a mystery that

under normal circumstances would probably have

captured the attention of the city and the world.

That mystery is the collapse of a nearby 47-story,

two-million-square-foot building seven hours after

flaming debris from the towers rained down on it,

igniting what became an out-of-control fire

…As engineers and scientists struggle to explain the

collapse of 7 World Trade Center, they have

begun considering whether a type of fuel that was inside the building all along

created intensely hot fires like those in the towers: diesel fuel, thousands of

gallons of it, intended to run electricity generators in a power failure.” NY Times
