Adequacy in structural fire engineering

45 minute lecture

I think he is basically saying that modern buildings are NOT really
being adequately designed in regards to fire protection - the building
codes are based on quicksand - just because 120 minutes of fire
resistance are required, does anyone know if the buildings will
actually remain upright for 120 minutes? - apparently not

on the other hand - maybe the buildings are grossly overdesigned to
prevent collapse from wind loads and static loads - therefore fire
safety gets baked in subconsciously / unconsciously (my words - as
lame as they are)
