the same reason the millennium hotel is in threat of collapsing.

Does anyone know if it was fully evacuated before it collapsed?

 

[johneetrash]

well it wasnt directly hit or anything... i didnt know how it caught on fire or if pieces of hte building fell on it when it collapsed... i was lookin for something a little specific :X

They had reported on the news that it was evacuated. The damage it sustained when the towers fell and the fires within have made it structurally unsound. Looks like the Pentagon is in trouble too, but, I'd guess they can keep it in tact and rebuild.
