Reply #92: True. But still not a load bearing element. [View All]

Those are not "beams". That's just an academic answer. The architect would know for sure. I am guessing they are intermediate support structures. Something along the line of facade, or fenestration. Nothing load bearing related.


You know what bothers me the most about the twin tower event? The proximity of time. The fact that they both fell within such a short time difference. It is incomprehensible to me that both fell, rather than one falling and then the other one lingering. Or even both falling in the same manner. Of all the things, that is what bothers me the most. I say that because no building has ever fallen due to fire. Yet both of those did. And at virtually the same time. Not reasonable.
