284. Then you must believe these questions have already been answered:
  1. Is there any prohibition against using these types of inflammable paints on the critical steel structures of high-rise buildings?
  2. Were these types of paints actually used on the steel structures of the WTC towers (easily determined by taking some sample chips and testing them)?
  3. If these types of paints were used on steel structures of the WTC towers, exactly how do they behave in a fire when they have been applied just the way they were, including whatever fire-proofing was applied over the top of them.
  4. If these types of paints were used on steel structures of the WTC towers, did their flammability contribute to the collapse?
  5. Are there non-flammable paint alternatives that would work well enough in providing corrosion resistance and therefore should be required in place of the inflammable ones?

I have no idea whether they have been answered, but would like to. Do you know where the answers can be found?
