64. Just remember...
that even a single layer 5/8 piece of sheetrock has a one hour fire rating. Suppose burning, exploding, dancing, fuel went down the elevator shaft, blew out some of the elevator doors, which I am assuming has been referred to as "hatches", how much fuel came out of each door, and how much would it take to reach from the elevator shaft to all the steel columns or some of them, burn long enough to penetrate the sheetrock, which in cases of firewalls is double-layered, then burn long enough to damage the steel to the point of weakening? I simply believe, that if it happened the OTC way, the fuel would have dispersed so widely, the amount of fuel on each floor affected would have had a negligible effect on the steel columns or trusses below the impact area. I also believe the fuel was expended and burned on impact. Thanks.
