Well, as for the sprinkler systems, I have already figured that they would have been damaged. Assuming all of the water was pushed up from the ground level, the destruction of the sprinklers on one floor would have destroyed them on the rest of the way up. Even if there were a few pipes still pushing water, it could not have been enough. Putting out a fire like that takes much more than sprinklers. It would not stand a chance in cooling the metal. Water is not a sufficient coolant, even for a metal lathe. It evaporates too easily and the viscosity is laughable. Even if it was hitting the metal, it would run off within seconds or even a fraction of a second.
As for the insulation, I'm sure the force of a plane in the air would be sufficient to scrape it off in places. Scrape it off in one place and the heat has a way in.
