DOES a "normal" steel framed building have fuel lines running through it?
Would anybody suggest that it never dawned on the engineers that a building, with fuel lines distributed throughout, could be susceptible to combustion?

Almost every building is different.

And also, remember how.the fire code AND the engineers considered the worst case scenario of that building being engulfed in flames. And being that NIST and civil.engineers are both well versed on the properties of both flame and steel, totally could have projected a collapse in any design flaw.

What does that even mean?
"Considering fuel pipes were run throughout the building, would it be far reaching to assume the engineers and local authorities knew the building could turn into a towering inferno"
Wasn't very hard to glean.
Can we now conclude that you are an engineer only deep within the recesses of your own brain?
The McCormick Place fire "is significant because it illustrates the fact that steel-frame buildings can collapse as a result of exposure to fire. This is true for all types of construction materials, not only steel." wrote Robert Berhinig, associate manager of UL's Fire Protection Division and a registered professional engineer.
you 100% acceptors can't have it both ways.
the 'official' report that you all believe is flawless and beyond sterling in its unquestionability, stated that WTC-7 was the first building of its kind to be brought down by fire...
