I think they figured on a "normal" fire, not one resulting
from a full cross-country load of fuel.
There was a plane that crashed in to the Empire State building
in '45 (a bomber of some sort) in the fog. So the WTC designers
had some empirical data to work with.

Has a lot of info on the WTC buildings collapse.
John YOung is a NY architect and has a bunch of
info up on the WTC:
http://cryptome.org/wtc-hazards.htm (asbestos hazards)
http://cryptome.org/wtc-collapse.htm (collapse)
and other stuff on cryptome.org.
