You do realize that in a collision that big, sprinkler systems would have been severely damaged, and temperatures would have been far greater than necessary to evaporate any water that was introduced to the environment.
We're talking about 11-17 burning floors libalchris (planes hit on the 93rd and 99th floor of 110 story buildings). It's not like those sprinklers are powered by electricity (they react to heat).
You're forgetting you only need one floor to fail for the whole thing to come down.
It doesn't matter. When one floor collapses the upper floors begin falling, when they hit the next floor they have gained extra momentum which applies a huge force on the next floor in addition to the weight that they are already putting on them, this force continually compounds on the way down as more and more floors are picked up.
WTC 7 is simple. It burned continuously uncontrolled for SEVEN HOURS.
