On Monday July 28, 2008, Weston-super-Mare's Grand Pier was ravaged by fire at the Pavilion end which housed funfair attractions and amusements.
Note how in contrast to the WTC fires, collapse of the Pavilion section was gradual, asymmetric, and was always arrested by the support columns (analogous to the massive core columns plus the perimeter columns that supported the gravity load beneath the impact and fire zones for each of the Twin Towers). The cast iron girders were not reduced to massive pools of molten metal and there were no observed flows of any yellow fluid, even though coins are said to have been melted or fused together in 1,000 C temperatures.
The pier had no sprinkler system, and the fire came at the end of a hot, dry spell hours before heavy rain started. Initial reports said the fire started in a commercial kitchen with deep fat fryers for fast food. This theory was subsequently ruled out.
The footage showed that within about two hours, the flames had reduced the pavilion — which was mostly wood — to cinders, although the part of the pier closer to the shore remained intact and the underlying metal structure survived.

Structural engineers have been on site to ensure the integrity of the pier structure and said yesterday that the pier had survived the blaze, although the floor around the pavilion was a write-off.
Avon Fire and Rescue chief fire officer Kevin Pearson said: “Debris is continuing to fall through the pier floor as most of the floor has gone and it is not really safe to walk on at the moment.
“However structural engineers are still looking at the pier and they say at the moment they are confident the supporting structure is pretty sound.”

Click on the next picture (preferably go to "full size") to see how the wooden floor decking immediately adjacent to the fire zone was still capable of supporting a pickup truck, six days after the fire. The wooden floor was damaged within the Pavilion fire zone, but adjacent areas sustained little or no damage.
See the aerial view (looking from the sea end) which shows two vehicles on the intact decking on the left. It can be seen that there was only minor damage to the floor surrounding the Pavilion area.
The picture below shows the remaining metal from the right-hand front corner column. There was no WTC-style molten metal, but the heat was sufficient to melt some of the lamp globes.
This shows intact columns beneath the fire zone, and intact floor decking around the perimeter of the Pavilion area.

Had this been a "Jewish lightning" insurance scam and Zionist Mafia's false-flag as casus belli for invasion of Muslim countries, we may be confident that the whole structure would have collapsed into the sea (or more likely, the mud and sand) just as many tourists were inside, and Zionist lackeys would be assuring us that such phenomena were perfectly normal and natural.
