Leslie Robertson was the lead structural engineer on the WTC project and also the engineer who did the airliner impact study your video refers to.

To the best of our knowledge, little was known about the effects of a fire from such an aircraft, and no designs were prepared for that circumstance. Indeed, at that time, no fireproofing systems were available to control the effects of such fires.
