Apples to apples. Ok.
Building 7 didn't have a plane flown into it, but it still fell.

Ok. How many instances of a similar building being completely engulfed in flames where no one responded to the fire and all fire suppression systems were inoperable, and no fire department was raining fire on it from the outside have occurred and resulted in the building surviving intact? In this case the fire raged, burning all available debris (office stuff is incredibly flamable, desks chairs, files, paper, wood, plastic, etc.), for HOURS with no fire department able to respond with water, and with the complete failure of the sprinkler system due to the damage to the city water supply lines. Any apples to apples comparisons there?
Here is one way it could have gone down, and they even admit in the article that it was unprecedented. But that is kind of a duh as the entire situation was unprecedented.
