Duh, no other 47 story building in history constructed the way this one was went with fires burning for several hours with part of its base knocked out...so yes, it was the first time in history this happened. But what does any of that prove on its own.
It's like you refuse to evaluate the evidence of why this was the first time in history that it happened. How can someone ever win an argument against your line of reasoning. That is why you adopt it rather than look to the actual evidence.

sprinkler systems are redundant so they have several sources of water, not just one.
it hasn't happened to any steel building of any size or type of design! have other steel buildings around the world suffered damage from fire, earthquakes, tornados, bombings, military attacks? out of these thousands of steel buildings has one ever collapsed into it's own footprint?
this collapse was recorded on video from several different angles, it's not something that just happened in a report. how can you watch that video and say it's not a textbook demo job? how can you watch that video and not agree that the two buildings came down in the exact same way?
