For one thing, the Dome was still standing because it was directly under the blast: most of the forces on it acted downward... the same direction it's load-bearing members were designed to hold.
Second of all, it's nowhere near a similar case. The dome is only what, 5 stories tall? WTC 7 was 47. You think maybe if you stacked nine or ten Domes on top of each other they might not be able to support the weight?
