The Great Chicago Fire was a conflagration that burned from Oct. 8-10, 1871, killing hundreds and destroying several square miles in Chicago, Illinois. Though the fire was one of the largest U.S. disasters of the 19th Century, the rebuilding that began almost immediately spurred Chicago's development into one of the most populous and economically important American cities.

Your first question is how did it collapse.  \nFrom everything I heard it was "pulled" or a planned implosion.\n\nYour second question was is it possible that it collapsed due to fire.\nNo.  In fact no steel framed building before or since has completely collapsed due to fire.  And in this case there were only two floors that had small fires on them.\n\nI'm no expert.  But this is what some scientists and people who are looking into the collapse of building 7 along with towes 1 and 2 are saying.

I would think the county government.  If you receive no responses from them, you might consider contacting the State Fire Marshal's office.  They may not have the direct power to address the issue, but they might be able to knock over some rocks.\n\nHave you considered contacting an attorney?

France.\n\nHISTORICAL NOTE:  This incident occurred prior to the recent riots where two 15 year old rioters completely destroyed the White Flag factory near Paris.  Government spokesman, Sock Ray Blue, said "the factory is crucial to the French government, the highest priority possible has been assigned to the rebuilding efforts".  Additionally, he asked all potential attackers to please refrain until France's ability for "rapid surrender" is restored.

"A fire at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis in 1973 damaged some service members records. Those with the heaviest damage were Army records from 1912 to 1959; some 1947 to 1963 Air Force records in surnames I through Z were less seriously affected. Many of these records are duplicated at other locations such as the VA and the military finance office, and therefore can be reconstructed."\n\nTry the VA for your father's records.\n\ncopied and pasted from stolenvalor.com
