re: #388 Varek Raith

It got hit by a freaking 110 story building as it came down.

Right. That and it was on fire for 7 hours. Uncontrolled. With a dead sprinkler system and a diesel fuel that was burning in the basement. Fire may not melt steel but it certainly bends it and weakens it. Then you have the weakened connection which are either weld points or fastner points such as bolts.
