I thought buildings were supposed to always pancake when they collapse.

Completely different causes of loss. Different construction also.

The hard rock didn’t get hit by two 1,400 foot buildings and burn for 8 hours.

No jet fuel to melt the steel.

Because only a small portion of its exterior structural integrity failed.

The only real difference seems to be the crane that fell at the Hard Rock

WTC7 collapse was so symmetric for such a random event. Weird.

What gave you that idea?
Partial structural failure and catastrophic structural failure don't act the same.

I’ve seen multiple reports that the construction company cut corners and didn’t have enough steel beams close enough together to support the weight of the concrete floors.

Agree 100%.
It's amazing how all the column beams in WTC7 failed simultaneously. Amazing equal distribution of heat. Almost like the heat was aimed.
