I am not an expert on this, but I heard on TV that no building can whitstand
such prolonged burnings without partial or total collapse. My dad told me
that the concrete turns to dust at 1200ºC, and then steel melts down,
causing structural failure.

I hoped something could have been made to save those trapped inside, but
that was unfortunately not possible; I watched horrified the whole time from
14:07 Portuguese time until the collapse, but nothing happened...
This is a tragedy. For us all, as citizens of this world, and especially to
those who lost their loved ones. If I were religious, I'd pray. I am not, so
the only thing I can do right now is ask what I can do to help.
