You'll forgive me if i'm a bit skeptic that this terrible event was anything besides the terrorist attack we believe it to be.
I don't care if it was an exact full copy made with the same "lowest American Bidder" materials. This "experiment" only proves a tower won't ALWAYS collapse when subject to such heat. To try and make any other inference from this experiment is sophistry.

It in no way supports or refutes whether this specific tower in NYC would or would not have collapsed.

Now if someone would built 1,000 or 10,000 exact copies of the towers and subjected each one of them to the exact same heat environment, under actual scientific control, and NONE of them collapsed, then we might be getting at something.

But one three story model? Why even bother?
