The fact that WTC7 does appear to have collapsed from the bottom
and so soon after the fire people withdrew is somewhat puzzling
though, the lower floors should have been water logged which
should have cooled the steel framework.

Water running down stairwells away from the fire is no indication
that water was necessarily running down structural beams in the
middle
of the fire as well.

That is true. It would tend to flow most effectively down the most
convenient path. However water should have collected more
effectively lower down the building as it accumulated from above
causing whole floors to become water logged.

Waterlogged floors below, assuming there were any, have no effects
on fires raging on dry floors above. I don't see your point. The plane
hit probably broke pipes. This will also result in water runnings down
stairwells. This is also (possibly) that much less water available
for sprinklers.

Well I think the point i'm trying to make is water falling from above would
tend to collect lower down, and thus keep the steel stutcture cool. Of
course WTC 1 and 2 fell from the top as one might expect.

WAR IS PEACE 

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY 

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH 

The Ministry of Truth contained, it was said, three thousand rooms above
ground level, and corresponding ramifications below. Scattered about London
there were just three other buildings of similar appearance and size. So
completely did they dwarf the surrounding architecture that from the roof of
Victory Mansions you could see all four of them simultaneously. They were
the homes of the four Ministries between which the entire apparatus of
government was divided. The Ministry of Truth, which concerned itself with
news, entertainment, education, and the fine arts. The Ministry of Peace,
which concerned itself with war. The Ministry of Love, which maintained law
and order. And the Ministry of Plenty, which was responsible for economic
affairs. Their names, in Newspeak: Minitrue, Minipax, Miniluv, and
Miniplenty.
