I agree it is quite eerie that the 'white giant' collapsed in a similar manner to WTC7, indicating what a good demolition looks like in both cases : ). I would also suggest that the difference between the two is that WTC7 was essentially a steel structure whilst I suspect 'white giant' was concrete construction (1970s in Germany ... most likely). We know that Grenfell was a concrete structure and has performed well under fire. That was to be expected. Hence Grenfell doesn't really fit into this comparison. Now, if the 'white giant' was damaged by fire and consequently collapsed, (which is unlikely) that would be a different kettle of fish, if you see what I mean ... Just my tuppence ...
