Reply #2: It's not bad.

You're probably sneering but the information is perfectly accurate. There are several ways to measure building height, to top of roof and to top floor for example, and 1350' measures the latter. I understood "steel beams melted" as an example of an official claim. I don't understand your beef with the collapse times or why it would make the least difference. And some people still take the BBC graphic seriously (present company excepted, of course).

The only bone I'd pick is that they compare concrete buildings (the collapse photos) to steel buildings without identifying the difference or pointing out that steel buildings do not, repeat not collapse except through the use of explosives.

(There's one known case of a short steel building partially collapsing in a Mexican earthquake, but I saw a photo of it and it looked to me like it had a concrete frame.)
