"For this construction category, columns were required to have a 2
h rating as established by the Standard Fire Test (ASTM E 119); beams
were required to have a 1½ h rating. The instructions to the bidders
for the WTC 7 job were to bid on a 3 h rating for the columns and a 2 h
rating for the metal deck and floor support steel, which corresponded to
the more stringent fire resistance requirements for Type 1B
(unsprinklered) construction."

If the columns holding up the building are only rated for three hours of
exposure to fire, then some time not very long after three hours, they
are going to stop holding up the building.
