24. Rivets

"1. 10 min is more than enough to start other fires."
Yes, it is. However, the ambient temperature that can be reached by a jet fuel fire is higher than the ambient temperature reached by an office fire.

"2. The ligitures broke, whether the rivets ejected whole, sheared, or that the steel near the rivets failed is irrelevant to whatever of these popped, it made noise."
Do you have any evidence for this? NIST spent millions investigating the collapsed and they say the ligatures didn't break.

The evidence is either there or it isn't. How it plays doesn't concern me.
